A Sewing Day (WIP Wednesday)


So what am I working on?  Too much? 

Grace-4
Proud of their work!
And since I've had to "fight" for computer time, I finished up these blocks last night after they were in bed.

christmas Quilt - Blocks Complete
Christmas Whrilygig blocks

Well, so much I created spread sheet last night to track it all...  The following list are my current quilting projects, this doesn't include any of the UFOs that are put away and not being actively worked on.  Most of these projects are new this year....

  • Mariner's Quilt
    This quilt is waiting for me to finish quilting it. Its not currently with me... but will be my first priority once school starts. Binding is made, about 25-50% of quilting is done.
  • St Patrick's Day Quilt
    I have this one here, it has 3/9 of the blocks quilted. And I'm not sure what I'm quilting in the border. I do have the binding cut and ready.
  • Dresden Quilt
    The sashing is ready, the outer circles are ready, now to set 4 more of the dresden circles, square the blocks, then add the sashing.
  • Christmas/Winter Quilt
    All quilt blocks are made. Not sure how I'm piecing this one together. I have 22 blocks - likely it'll be a 4x5 quilt with 2 blocks on the back. If I want white sashing, then I'll need to buy some more white. The white fabric that I was planning on using went into the quilt top the kids made.  I used the tutorials at Crazy Mom Quilts and Michelle Sews.
  • Grace's Quilt
    All blocks have the side sashing on. And they are now set into 5 strips. The kids did the sewing and pressing. I did the cutting and pinning. We finished with less than .2m of white left.   I'm hoping my husband can navigate my sewing room to find the fabric I'm hoping to use...
Garment Sewing

And then we are onto garment sewing... need back to school clothes  for the kids.  I have patterns traced... now to iron fabric and cut those out.  I'll itemize those in another post...

Love the Whirly Gigs and the block quilt. Both look really pretty.

I like how the blocks are set at angles. I think they will make fabulous quilts.
