I'm making progress

I started and/or finished a few quilt tops this past week. I wish I  could say that I  completed a few, but that would have involved using Mo'e but that hasn't been happening.
I did finish the quilt top using the 'leftover' triangles from the 'Buzzsaw' quilt top, but apparently I've forgotten to take a pic.  Maybe later.
Next up was one I've been wanting to do for several months.


That's all there is to it...five inch blocks.  The colored ones were from 2 charm packs, but I had to cut the white blocks from yardage and that was what was holding me back from doing it.  It wasn't as bad/boring as I'd told myself it would be.


and it's  grasshopper approved!  Btw that's the first grasshopper I've seen this year- kinda weird. 


Next up was this project...which had also been on my 'wanting to do' list for several months.  I'm not sure I'm done with it yet, though.  I'm thinking about adding a black border - maybe 3" - all around; it needs to be a bit larger than it is right now.
OOPS!!  I just noticed that I posted the wrong pic above... I saw the mis-sewn block as I was taking the photo and took the top down and corrected it immediately then took another photo, which is what I THOUGHT I posted.  

Yesterday, before going to our family reunion, I dug into my Orange scraps and made my Aug. RSC2022. 
Then, it was on to working on another 'want to do someday' quilt...one that I've been wanting to do for YEARS.

I bought a couple of fat quarter bundles from The Quilt Show that were perfect to use in this quilt.


There are 9 fqs in the bundle but I only need 8... and only need one of the bundles so I'll have them for another project.


Here's what I did after I came home from the reunion.  Only the faces have been appliqued down - will wait to do the eyes and noses after I finish the other four blocks so I don't have to keep changing threads.

And I guess that's it for now. I have a couple other non-quilting projects in the works, but nothing in the 'ready to share' phase yet.

Take care
Stay dry

  1. The heart quilt, though simple, is really pretty. And I love the backgrounds for the snowmen - perfect wintry scenery! As for the gnomes, maybe a skinny white border first?

Not much to report

I still have Uncle Sam to finish before I can move on to the next block but I got so frustrated that I needed longer to calm down before try...
