Progress on my scraps and a little finish.

Good morning all,

Hope you in the States are getting some Spring. Things here are starting to bloom, bringing allergies with it. But the sun, when it comes out, is nice. We are typically pretty wet this time of year, with pops of sun here and there.

I've been working with my 2" squares. Getting a lot of mileage out of them ;) I started out wanting to make the Scrap Jar Stars quilt. Here are my stars:

If you look closely, you'll see that I did the corners wrong! So I wanted to do a sashing or something between blocks and when I was looking at more scraps quilts, I found the Calico Rose quilt pattern.

Perfect to use with my scrappy stars. I have the middle of the alternate blocks done, but  I need to get some more background fabric before I can continue.

Then I pulled out these colors for a boy quilt.



Here is my progress on that. I need background fabric for it too.

I decided against making the spools quilt I had thought of doing. And instead, used up some small 1" wide fabrics for these Golden gate blocks. You can see that post here.



And this is the finished wall hanging that came of those.

Here is the progress on my Cornerstones quilt I am making for my middle son. This one won't have the same layout as the previous one, I'm doing it  a bit different. Need more fabric though, before I continue.

Block one, all but two of them will have different animal prints.

Block 2:

I also have my Bear quilt sandwhiched. I started quilting on it yesterday... just to find a bunch of snarls and mess with the bobbin... sigh~


So today I will look at my machine and figure out the issue. At least I can see I've made some progress from last month though.

Have a great day all!

Doing some quilting for a change

Hello All,

I made this Irish chain quilt a few years (at least!) ago. I just love the flower pattern, and Irish chain patterns are one of my favorites.

It's just been sitting in my UFO pile. I needed a nice lap quilt though, to send to my Aunt. She's losing her battle with cancer :( And I wanted to send her something to wrap her in love and comfort.

It's 60x60 and I'm doing a bit of straight line quilting with my walking foot (on both diagonal's in the tannish squares) and I'll do some FMQing in the big flower squares. So it shouldn't take me too very long. (My new table is AWESOME!!)

Before I pulled this out, I was getting some more Cornerstone blocks made.

I so enjoy working with these colors, there are many more to do, this is just a small part of it. Lots more colors to work with :)

Linking up with Lorna and her Lets Bee Social linky. And Lee with her WIP linky.Thanks Ladies.
