I just finished another pieced top yesterday.

 

It was made from swap fabric that the Gals and I on the Q&N swapped last year.

That means that I now have 25 ....yes 25!!! quilt tops that need to be quilted.

YIKES!!

Guess I should get started, huh?!  :)

PS, don't forget to drop me a comment (or send me an email) and leave me your name, if you're a wantobe quilter! LOTS of prizes you could win over at the Stash, come August.

Bits and pieces

 It's the bits and pieces that make up the quilt. I am working on a new pattern.  Want to see the bits and pieces?

They all need a good session with the iron....of course. LOL

And I wish now that I would of gone with a solid or TonT instead of the light blue/flowers. It's a bit busy for my taste.

 BUT, all the pieces are coming out just like I wanted them too :) I had my birthday yellow fabrics (the Kaufman and Fig tree ones) in mind, when I made this. I just don't have enough of those to make it with. So, I will buy more, and make it in those pretty, soft yellows and pinks also.


See this?? Isn't it darling!? It is only a few inches tall, from bottom of cabinet to top of machine. And not much wider.

It was a birthday gift from my 16yr son :) I just love it! He has been having fun messing with some casting of various metals. And he loves to work with wood.

Hope you enjoyed the bits and pieces, I'll show more when it's finished.

What are you working on?


Thanks for stopping by Dorian

HST's...or half square triangles.

 A pile of HST's, made with Lily & Will, from Anne Sutton.

Mixed with a little  Hydrangea.

I think they go lovely together...

Of course, there is ALWAYS a pile of this when I do HST's..

 Is the trimming worth it??! Oh yes! It makes your squares nice and pretty, so they can sew together beautifully..

The Hydrangea fabric is what I am using for our "It's too pretty to cut challenge", going on at the Q&N forum. So I wont be showing you more of this project, till sometime in July. Our projects are due by July 31st. Then they'll be judged. These challenges are always fun.

What have you been working on?

Have a great day, and...
