W.i.P. Wednesday

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

Seems like I've been in a Swoon fog since last week's W.i.P. Wednesday! But I did detour just a bit . . .

Completed projects
Pumpkin Patch Table Topper - Done and just in the nick of time! {see full post here} I really enjoyed this make-decisions-as-you-stitch project.

Ongoing projects
Swoon quilt - Quilting is done. Whew. 11 hours and it wasn't a piece of cake.
Now to make the binding. Since I have alot of Terrain fat-quarters left, I decided to make a scrappy binding using Kati's clever idea for candy cane binding, except I'm using just prints. Since the quilt is so colorful, I'm hoping the scrappy binding is a nice finish.
Wrenly HST quilt - no progress here. Been busy swooning.


Upcoming projects  
* 4th quarter 4x5 Quilt Bee blocks NEW
* do. Good Stitches November blocks NEW
* Ruby charm square quilt NEW
* Scrappy Autumn Lap quilt
* Flannel Christmas star quilt
* Hometown "Wild Thing"

    11 hours! Yikes! It'll be totally worth it though. And the scrappy binding should be a nice touch. :)

    Candy cane binding? I cannot wait to see how great that is going to look. My goodness 11 hours is a big time investment but it looks from the photo that it was worth the effort - your lines look perfect. :)

    Wow, wow and wow! So impressive that you quilted it yourself, so much work, but it is awesome! I think your binding will look fabulous, but I always like scrappy bindings!

    The pumpkins....love them.

    The Swoon, gorgeous. Your photo is just lovely. What a relief for you to be finished the quilting, you're right, it is not a piece of cake! I'm getting there. :) I love the idea of a scrappy binding. I think I would have done the same except that I ordered just enough Hometown for the blocks only.

    I love your swoon quilt! I want to make one very badly. I'm thinking of using Laura Gunn's Poppy line and her Lantern Bloom line.
