Design Wall Monday

Still the same quilt top on my design wall but it's now about half way done. I am right on schedule to have it done by the first of December. I just love how it's coming out.

What's on my needles?

This is my first post for this subject. Last year I saw someone making this scarf for a gift. As my sister and brother-in-law are huge SF Giants fan I decided to make one for my sister. As I felt the scarf came out to wide I decided to make them both one. It's easy to do and should be able to make them both by Christmas. I am using Cascade 220 and when done the scarf will have fringe.

I actually have more done on the scarf but no new pictures.

I have been working on a quilt for a friend's daughter who is 7 and loves pink. I forgot to take pictures along the way like I like to do. So today remembering it's DWM, I took pictures. I have not counted the total different picks but I'm thinking close to 35-40. Plus there will be close to 500 2 inch squares of while when all is said and done This picture is all the extra squares that have been cut waiting to go into another quilt.

This picture is progress being made. Some times I get working on it and can not stop making the 9 patches. I have a system of doing this so it's actually going pretty quickly.

This is what it currently looks like. I am trying to do a row or two a day. If I get more done the better.

It's only a few weeks later and a new block is on my design wall. I am still plugging along on two of the projects from last post but I did take a class this past Friday. The class was taught by Linda Ballard and it's her Now You See It, Now You Don't pattern. I want to work on it but really need to finish up a few other things first plus they are closer to being done than have only one block completed. I can get them off the list that way too. I also need to use my design wall and it's covered with other projects. As always I enjoy taking a class from Linda.

Okay I realize it's Tuesday but I was busy yesterday and didn't get this posted. I've been working on class samples and trying to get a top done I started a while ago. Progress has been made on my Nine Patch and Snowball and the Disappearing Nine Patch. The Class sample is done and to the quilt store.

The one on the left are the first 4 rows of the nine patch and snow ball, the middle one is 3 blocks sewn together of the disappearing 9 patch and the next one is a start of another disappearing 9 patch sewn as a class sample.




This is the finished product of the class sample. It's done with a charm pack and 1 yard of dimples.

I have decided I really need to spend time in my sewing room if I every want to finish something. What a concept huh? I thought the sewing elves would help me out but I was wrong. In trying to figure out something new to teach, I decided to do a disappearing nice patch. If all goes well were will be 30 blocks. So far I have 28 cut out but I might be able to get 2 more out of the scraps.

This is the nine patch block all sewn together.



This is after it was cut in half both vertically and horizontally then resewn together.



Well back to sewing I go.

I actually have something to post. While it looks like the top I posted several weeks ago, it's not. That top is finished and was sent to it's new home where my cousin is loving it. Even though scrap quilts are hard for me I decided to make another one. This one has purple in it where the last one did not. A friend was cleaning out her stash and gave me some maroon fabric and I will piece it for the back.
