Works in Progress
I have no quilt finishes to show, but a few things on the go! I am slowly handquilting one quilt,
trying to talk myself into layering a finished top,
and working on some fun blocks from Lori Holts Spelling Bee Book. These will be part of a special quilt, hopefully to be gifted next year.
Also waiting to be done:
Below are just 2 of many orphan blocks I'm trying to pull together into a quilt. I was learning paper piecing here on the orange star. Not my favourite technique, but it sure does give nice clean points.
Green and blue nine patches (4 1/2 ")
A future Irish Chain Quilt... no finish in sight here for a while!! These nine patches are 3".
ok, so now I see I need to spend less time surfing on all the lovely quilty blogs out there and just get some of these poor, lingering WIP'S done :)
Linking up with:
I like what you're doing with the hand quilting! A little at a time will get it done...says the gal who is a year into quilting her current one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I should have that one done by the end of the month. I have an afghan I've been knitting for over a year, hopefully I'll finish that soon too :)
ReplyDeleteWow Karen! You’re such a busy woman! I absolutely love the puppy block. I saved this on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago. Looks like my grandpuppy😊
ReplyDeleteKaren, your stitching on the hand quilted piece is so pretty. I haven't done a whole lot of hand quilting - but I sure love the look of it. I agree that getting sucked into blog reading takes away from our sewing time. Always looking for that balance. :-)
