Ongoing projects
Zakka Style Sew-Along project #15 - I'm doing my own thing this week, but I have my bookmark ready to sew up.
4x5 Quilt - Boy, this modern sampler really needs a name before all is said and done. Meanwhile, I got that pieced back done - nothing too exciting, except the main fabric, of course - one of my current favs, Dear Stella's Gridlock.

The blocks' framing is all quilted up quite simply, and now I'm slow but sure, quilting the blocks - some straight-line, some free-motion, something a little different in each block. I've gotten 5 of 20 blocks done so far. It'll be a while.
Storytime Squares baby quilt - The top is done. I didn't find a good backing in my stash, so am waiting for one to arrive - a Vintage Modern floral.
*Picture-Perfect* Polaroid Block Swap NEW - Not sure what I was thinking when I impulsively started a swap last weekend!
the blocks that started it all - 1 untrimmed & 1 trimmed
But things are hopping, and I've got lots of 2 1/2" squares cut out to make my own polaroid blocks to swap and keep.

Nice quilting! You're really stepping out of the comfort zone there. Very adventurous! Love that backing fabric too.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are turning out great! Love the colors... Now about that swap project, how many squares did you cut??? I like your To DO list - mine is pretty bleak right now: PACK entire house to move before the end of the month. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks great! And look at all those polaroids! You won't need to swap, you have plenty of your own!
ReplyDeleteThe polaroid blocks are going to be so cute! That's an impressive amount of squares you've cut!

ReplyDeleteAn impressive list of projects as usual! Wow!
ReplyDeleteLove all those tiny squares! And your 4X5 quilt is going to be amazing!
I'm using that same fabric for my next quilt back! :) It's so fun, isn't it? I waited a little too long to order it after seeing it and had to get a few separate pieces from various Etsy sources. :)
ReplyDeleteLots of great stuff going on! I don't know what you were thinking on the swap, either. ;) Love the Gridlock backing.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are beautiful! I always love your quilts, etc!

ReplyDeletewow, Debbie, that quilting looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love that 4x5 quilt -- which fabric is that main grayish one? It looks fantastic with the orange!
ReplyDeleteI, too, have a Storytime Squares quilt in progress. I don't remember which blog I obtained the pattern from but the math wasn't correct. I like the pattern though so I'll revamp accordingly. Don't you just love finishes?
ReplyDeleteOh cool, love what you're doing with the 4x5 quilt. Those polaroids are going to be fun too :o)
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your tangerine and grey quilt. It's going to be so great when it's finished. I'm so impressed you have kept up with the Zakka projects. That's a lot of work!
