WIP 10/06/2015
There hasn't been a lot of sewing going on here lately, but there has been some cutting. I am still torn on the Greek cross quilt. However, I am leaning towards adding a border after all. I am hoping to get the back for the snails trail quilt pieced this week.I have no idea how I am going to quilt it though.
In the meantime I have moved onto another project from the no progress list. The Classic Paint box quilt I started with the Bee Creative Bee.
These are the blocks that I have from the ladies of Bee Creative and Bee's helping bee's. Which means I have to make 52 more blocks to get the 80 I need to complete the quilt.

2015 Sewing Mission Statement
In order to try and get some UFO's done this year I am going to try and keep my current to do list small and just work on one thing at a time. I am going to try and not start anything "new" but instead take one thing off of my no progress list each month.

Thanks for stopping by
Cutting can seem to take forever but it is well worth getting it out of the way. Whenever I "take a break" to sew on some of the project before it is all cut out, I always regret when I run out of pieces to sew. Plus it is always helpful to know if you have too little of a fabric or, if you are going to slip up while cutting, to know before it is too late to recover.
ReplyDeleteYour turquoise, fuschia, and leopard-y gold color combo has a rather exotic jeweled jungle feel to it. It make me think of Jasmine in the movie Aladdin.
Those are some pretty strips you have cut out for your blocks. Nice compliment to the ones you received!
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous! I love having things cut up that I can just sit down and sew. Very fun colours.
