Weekly Finish...Or Not: International Sisters and Crescendo Runner UFOs
After putting this top aside so I could make a Sisterhood quilt for my sister, I finally made enough blocks to finish it.
I started making this quilt in June and originally planned to make a lap sized quilt with only 32 blocks and no border, just binding.
Once I assembled the top, I decided I wanted to make it bigger so I cut out more blocks. Well, they were then sidelined until my sister's quilt was finished.
An additional 22 blocks later, and my top is finished. I added the blocks without considering size and didn't realize how big it would be. It's one of my bigger tops measuring at 88" x 102".
Between my sister's quilt and mine, I have made 84 sister blocks. As much as I love making these ladies - they are so easy and fun to make - I'm done for now. The top is now added to my "to be quilted" pile.
This next unfinished project is a table runner from a kit I purchased from The Guilty Quilter. This was a Halloween theme kit that was on sale in August last year.
I love the geometric design and want to make a bed size quilt but was a little intimidated. I thought a table runner was the perfect project to get my feet wet. It was not as difficult as I thought and I am happy with my runner.
I'm happy to join these linky parties. Be sure to visit them to see what other quilters are sharing.

I love your Sisterhood quilt, the added border is great! Lovely table runner too, fun pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, and linking up today ;)
Great idea to give the runner a try first before committing to something bigger. Looks like you've mastered 3D! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
