WIP Work In Progress: Single Wedding Ring

-

 

I'll bet I'm not the only one who has several projects going on at once, although I usually do try to finish one before I start the next even if it is only the top.

I've made some progress on my Single Wedding Ring top and decided to do a straight setting with no sashing and cornerstones.  I'll probably add an inner border and do a fancy pieced outer border.  We'll see what comes up for next week.

And, I'm still working on Clue 1 of the Grassy Creek mystery.  I've sewn the HSTs and I still need to trim half of them but I'll be ready for Clue 2 on Friday.


This is the Bobby Dazzler top that I finished in September and quilted today.  It's still a work-in-progress not only because it needs binding but also because I have to repair the mess I have on the back.

I did a whole row of quilting before I realized I didn't lower the needle bar.  Ugh, I hate it when that happens.  The threads are loose on the back which I  actually had a hard time finding.  I thought I'd leave the row alone because it's such a pain to fix, but it'll bother me if I don't.  I still hope to get the quilt finished by Friday.


And I made a bit more progress since Monday on my Stash Buster Challenge quilt.  I've actually completed 40 blocks and plan to make a total of 56 for a 7x8 layout.  Honestly, the Square Dance block is so easy and fun to make.  It goes together very fast.

    They all look like great projects but ooof on that back side. Hate it when that happens! (Sometimes I will fix things later on my regular machine if it's small.)

    Hi Rita! Oh yes, I always, always, ALWAYS have multiple projects going at once. And almost always a stack of recently finished quilts that need to be quilted. Sometimes I need to ponder and worry about how to quilt something, while other times I am just in a piecing mode. I really can't imagine just working on one project at a time! The SWR block looks rather like the pineapple block, doesn't it? What a nice finish that will be. You've got a good start on Grassy! Yeah, you'll have to fix Dazzler but I can surely see the temptation to not do so! And finally, the Square Dance block looks like fun. I don't think I've seen it before. Thanks so much for linking up this week! ~smile~ Roseanne

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

-
Image
These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes as long as the squares are equal in size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I used 5” squares. (3) Lay flannel (or batting) squ

Weekly Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars 2020

  I previously posted about my Halloween No Point Stars top and I am happy to say that I finally finished the quilt ... just in time for Halloween! I used a polyester snow blanket remnant for the batting.  Yes, a snow blanket used for Christmas villages.  This was not originally intentional.  I didn't want to use Warm & Natural as I was not going to use this as a "blanket" but rather as a display/decoration.  I wanted a lightweight batting so I looked through my bin of batting remnants and found what I thought was just right. As I was basting the quilt, I noticed some glitter - not much - just a tiny bit on the "batting".  It finally dawned on me why it felt a little different!  How did this snow blanket get mixed in with my regular batting remnants?  Anyway, I was already halfway done so I decided to go with it. I didn't have any Halloween fabric large enough for a backing but I found this black-and-white toile fabric, which is  actually a curtain made

Weekly Finish #1: Free To Be Wild Horse Panel

  Free To Be Wild Finished Size: 67" x 72" I saw this quilt on social media a couple of years ago promoting Riley Blake's Back In The Saddle Collection.  I was immediately captivated and knew I wanted to make it for my daughter. Sadly, this was an older collection, and this particular panel with the black horse was nowhere to be found. However, I found this panel with the running wild horses from the same collection and knew my daughter would love it. In December, I decided to make this quilt for my daughter's birthday this month.  I searched social media for a pattern and found a tutorial for this quilt by Quiltscapes . Luckily, I found the pillow panels from the same collection for the quilt's four corners.  Sewing the top was fast and easy -- just add strips for borders and done. I quilted it with an E2E design from My Creative Stitches and used Warm & Natural for batting. My daughter's birthday is next week.  But she came for a quick visit this past we
