Update
Okay, define finished? Picnic is a flimsy...
The bazillion half squares were all squared up, sewed into broken dishes block, then sewed into stars, then all sewed together. I LOVE HOW THIS TURNED OUT.
I made a quilt and two table runners from the jelly roll...this is all that is left...I'm trying to let it go.
I do NOT have to use up every little bit right now...but I really really want to. What could I make with that little bit?
The rows to Day Break are sewn together. I added background pieces the ends to square it up so I don't have to make bias binding or deal with the innie corners.
Got the binding hand sewn on the civil war BOW...that one I can confidently say is finished.
And the poor rose quilt got put back in the pile. Do you remember the very large log cabin quilt I bought at a garage sale a couple of years ago? Well, I did cut it up into four smaller quilts. I got the first one quilted and another is currently loaded on the frame.
The top has everything in it and is not very cuddly. I used some of the flannel squares I made up a few years go for the back. Very bright, but soft and cuddly. Hopefully it makes up for the top.
I have friends coming over to sew next weekend and the following weekend...so I should finish all four soon.
Maybe not finishes, but I think I've definitely made progress.
Great "finishes". I love the HST quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteThe progress is inspiring and lovely. Your civil war BOM is wonderful! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the Picnic quilt top! I think I've mentioned a million times that I want to make this one. I have fabric set aside and everything! Congrats on getting so much done.
ReplyDeleteOh, my you have been so busy. I don't even know where to begin...I just love everything you have done. Yes, I remember the log cabin you bought..I bet it becomes more cuddly with a few washings. I am still loving that Picnic...really, really like it. It would be a good use for some of my scraps.
ReplyDeleteI am still collecting batiks for daughter's Lotus quilt. Have 74 or 75 blocks made. And just got fabrics my daughter ordered and had sent here...plus some i have bought, plus more she bought herself and sent this way. One of these days I will get to finish it.
