Colour Challenges
Over at
So Scrappy today's scrap challenge colour was
Red. I decided to do a red wonky log cabin block... Its 12.5". My thought is I'll do a wonky log cabin block in each colour and then sash them in white and have a whole quilt top....

Playing with colours... I think this would need a border too!
Maybe the green... I'll have to play with that.... |

Judy from
Patchwork Times has a great colour palette challenge for this month... I love the colours and was contemplating making a Lone Star wall hanging with the l(joining the quilt along over at
Quilt Times. I probably don't need another challenge or quilt along... but I like the look of the colours and that block... Maybe... or maybe this will just stay a dream!
UFO Challenge Update
Judy's is Challenge has us work on
#5! I pulled it out, and it was just a bag of squares and rectangles. I sewed the rectangles together... so now I have a bag full of 6.5" and 3.5" squares... I've come up with the proposed layout... now just to sew together the stack of 4-patches... My goal this month is to get the quilt top finished.
I think I'll need to update my list... As I've already finished 1 Quilty UFO... So when its number comes up, I'll just insert another project....
What am I working on?
Sewing
- Highland Dance Vest - Muslin made, tested. Then cut out all pieces in velvet, cotton lining, canvas interfacing. (the black is the pattern)
- Highland Dance Blouse - only need to make 1. My older daughter no longer needs a new one - her old one is just short with the old kilt, this new kilt sits much higher, so she won't need one. For my younger daughter, her's is too short and too skinny... Fabric is washed and ready to be cut out - now what pattern did I use? Highland Dance Outfit lists the pattern as Ottobre Designs 2/04 #23... Must measure and then trace...
Quilting
- Longarm -Nautical Quilt is still on the machine - slowly working on it. No progress this weekend. Tomorrow once the kids (or the healthy ones) are back at school. Deadline - Jan 24th.
- Quilt for my stepfather - black fabric is washed, now I need to make bias tape for the celtic knot I'll put on it...Guess I need to look up the easy way to make continuous bias tape - it has been a while!
- New Years Day Mystery Quilt Class from Longarmclassroom.com - fabric is supposed to arrive tomorrow... maybe? maybe not...
- Baby Quilt (UFO #5)- need to make 4 patches
