Quilts in Progress

Now the fun really begins with my Halloween Bounce project.  In my last post I mentioned that I made the star blocks two different sizes.  How is that going to all go together you may be wondering.  Well, it turns out that you trim all the blocks down to the same size!  The blocks are…

Raise the Roof is coming right along!  Here you see the main body of the quilt arranged on the design wall.  The Sawtooth Star blocks and the Log Cabin blocks are not yet sewn together, but you can see what the layout will be.  My design wall is 72 inches square, so you can also…

The end is in sight for the Log Cabin Blocks.  Only ten more to go, and this baby is done, except for borders.  I am enjoying working with the ruler, but have to say I am looking forward to making this project a finish and moving on. The rest of the week I will be…

It may not look like much, but I have made substantial progress on Viola.  I have finished all the appliquéd stem units and finished nine complete blocks.  I quite like the look of the blocks all together!   At this point I am still undecided as to what size to make this quilt.  The pattern…

Despite a rather busy weekend, I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours of sewing, and reconnected with my Viola project.  I do like how this is coming together, except for the fact that my red flower vases look almost identical to the pink ones.  I may have to see what lighter pinks are…

Well, almost done.  One more nine unit Bow Tie block and that is it for me.  324 three inch finished Bow Tie blocks.  1944 pieces total.  I can't take it anymore.  I don't know how these gals who are making a king size quilt with two inch finished Bow Tie Blocks have it in them.…

So this is what 72 3 inch Bow Tie blocks look like. I feel like I have been making them forever already, but they are pretty cute.  I am going to keep at it and see how far I can get with this quilt before I cry "Uncle". You may recall that in previous posts…

Flip Flop.  I can't decide which project I want to work on, so I am working on both!  They could not be more different, but I love them both.  After the day our family had Tuesday, I found immersing myself in sewing to be very therapeutic.  I had the day off and spent every minute…

Looking Glass is coming along great.  Only one more row, then the borders.  If I hadn't been called away on a pool play date, I know I would have finished the main body of the top yesterday.  But after all, it is summer, and there are fun things to be done outside. We had such…
