Design Wall Monday

Best laid plans of mice and men was to have the top completed. So how life gets in the way as did having the stomach flu. So here are two picture of progress. I am happy with the way it is turning out. This is with the half square triangles laid out around some of the edges.

This photo shows it about half sewn together. Still need to sew some rows together but I wanted to see what it looks like.

I can not believe I have something different on my design wall. This pattern is something I've wanted to make for a while. When Judy over at Patchwork Times post her monochromatic challenge for July it was blue. I figured this would be perfect to do it blues. The pattern I am using is Simple Tricks by Laura Nownes and Diane McClun. Laura is going to be our speaker at next months quilt guilt so my goal is to have the top completed. It worked on it last night and it should be quick. I also know someone who is having a baby boy in August so this quilt will go to him.

Design Wall Monday

Long time no blog or post for that matter. It's been a while since I've actually had some thing to post. These are blocks from a Block of the Month I have been taking at Quilt Fans in Alameda. It's been a mystery so far but we have completed all the blocks and will find out in a few weeks how to finish it. I do know it's on point and the blocks will having sashing around them and setting triangles. This is just one of many ways it could be laid out. I'm decided there will be no right or wrong way.

Design Wall Tuesday

Once again I'm late in posting. Is this a completed top for a class sample for a class I am teaching in August.

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.

Design Wall Monday

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.
