Quilts in Progress

You would laugh if you could see me doing my little happy dance.  I love these blocks.  Each one is unique and so much fun to put together.  I have seven done, out of 24 (or is it 25?).  If I make six a day, this Birdseye quilt will be a reality in no time. …

I woke up this morning with the beginnings of a little cold or virus or something.  Achey, snozzley, big cold sore on the lip.  A perfect day to make a pot of tea and call in sick.  Sick, but not too sick to work on a certain sewing project.  Heh heh heh.  I emailed the…

Yes, it was a nine patch weekend. I am working on Miss Rosie's pattern "Birdseye", and needed to make 121 nine patch blocks.  Since you need the nine patch units for the two other main blocks featured in the quilt, as Carrie says "You just might as well get it over with".  It wasn't so…

Thank you all so much for your suggestions on whether or not I should go for both the blues and browns in my next Raise the Roof quilt project, or just stick with one color or the other.  Overwhelmingly, you said use both.  So I will!  I haven't started cutting it out yet–figured I needed…

Little by little is the way this quilt is going to get done!  I managed to make six blocks over three day's time.  Well, so be it.  The 64 blocks I need will be done at some point if I keep this up.  Little by little Flowers for Clara will become a quilt. Hey, did…

Isn't this a "sea" of yumminess?  The fabric line is Neptune by Tula Pink.  Love these indigo, aqua, algae green and coral colors.  And the prints are so whimsical, with their Under the Deep Blue Sea theme.  There are submarines, life savers, swimming turtles, scales, tortoise shells, swirly waves and little anchors.  So darn cute–but…

  I know I was just talking about Flying Geese blocks in my post yesterday, but these geese are for a different project.  I had two half days to sew over the weekend, and divided my time between two UFOs that have been calling out to me.  I know, Prairie Paisley was crying out plaintively for…

Months ago (never mind how many…) I started a making a quilt that I had been planning in my mind for a year or more.  I knew the pattern I would use would be Toulouse, a wonderful offering by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.  Carrie made her quilt in a Christmas fabric collection that was current…

This past weekend, I got one more border around the Summer Wind quilt top.  This pattern begins with a large center star medallion, and you add progressive borders until the quilt is as big as you want it.  This finishes at around 72 inches, I believe, but if I decide to add a final border…
