Design Wall Monday

Shhhhh don't tell anyone I did this top instead of on the class samples I am suppose to be working on. I found this in the stack to be made when looking for some fabric to make pillow cases. The top is only folded over as it did not fit on my design wall. At least this was from my stash. This is the forth top this month.

Irish Chain

I just finished my third quilt top for the month. This one is a class sample. While it color looks black it's actually a green and white. I'll get a better picture in the daylight. This was not even on the list of things to do this year. Plus it was done totally from my stash.

True to my word I have a different top on my design wall. It's actually a completed top. I started it last week as it was something I had cut out and ready to go. I thought it was going to be a quilt project but it wasn't as quick as I thought. But as the saying go done is good and it's done.


This a close up picture of the fabric.


Tomorrow I will start an Irish Chain for a class sample. It's cut out ready to go. I'm trying to make class samples smaller as to not take up so much wall space at quilt stores where I teach.

Good day sewing

Spent most of the day sewing. Finished the last 36 blocks out of 42 blocks needed for my next quilt top. Even got the first row sewn together. I am pleased with the outcome. Thought I was going to have to put it aside to make a class sample to be delivered this Wednesday but after looking at the calendar, I don't need it until the following Wednesday. After talking with some quilting buddies, I decided to make a smaller class sample and then bring in my full size quilt the day of the class. I went through my stash and pulled out fabric. Even got it cut out as a break in sewing the current project.

It's done!!! At least the top is 100% completed for Hugs and Kisses. I am very pleased with how it came out. This will be the last time it will appear on Design Wall Monday. The first picture is with out the borders. It was to long to fit on my design wall, so part is folded over the top.


This is the bottom corner showing with the three borders.

Design Wall Monday

It's Monday and although my design wall still has the same quilt on it, it's grown. I now have 16 out of the 24 blocks sewn and even the first two rows sewn as rows. There was even a mistake in one of the blocks that has now been fixed.

Design Wall Monday (on Tuesday)

Long time no blog. I've been busy working on thread catchers and not this quilt. Figured I'd start back so I can get it done and work on something new. I finally have made enough progress I felt I could post a photo. I have to make 24 block and I've made 10. All the units are made so just need to make the blocks. My goal is to be half way there by nights end.


Update: I did make my goal of getting the two blocks made and also made all the center row of the block. Now off to make the first and third rows and make more blocks.
