W.i.P. Wednesday

In lieu of a W.i.P. Wednesday post last week, I shared about several small finishes. Since Christmas, the little time I've had in the sewing room has mostly been spent on a few wips that I really want to finish before moving ahead.

Ongoing projects
Quiet Book - This was my Christmas gift to grandgirl, though it was only half done. So I'm working on finishing the remaining pages. It's very like one I made for her mommy years ago.

Binary - I've pulled together the blocks from my month with the Modern Blocks Bee. I'd had no big plan for these blocks, so basically just want to get them sewn into a small quilt. Hope to be able to call this a finish by week's end.

 A stocking for hubby - It was crazy to start this so late in the game, but I do want to finish it so it's ready for next year.

Modern Crosses quilt - I'm embarrassed this isn't already done, and shame on me for setting it aside. But Christmas is over, and it's high on my list!

Scrappy Trip Along - I didn't mean to do it. I mean really, I have the above wips I really want to finish! Call it peer pressure . . . curiosity . . . nostalgia. Block one is done and we'll just see where this goes.

Upcoming projects
* FAITH Circle January "Sparkle" block
* That Stash Bee's January "Birds in the Air" blocks
* Lucky Stars BOM - practice block + January block
* scrappy Metrolink
* Woodland cross-stitch sampler
* plan for FAITH Circle's February quilt
* Polaroid block projects
* placemats

Linking up with W.i.P. Wednesday.

    That quiet book looks lovely! Such a great idea! I don't want to encourage taking up more wips ;) but I really like your scrappy trip along block :)

    "A quiet book"- what a brilliant idea! The Scrappy Tripalong is very addictive, isn't it?

    I like what you are doing with those Binary blocks, Debbie! I very nearly succumbed to the Scrappy Trip-Along, too. Looks fun, but I'll just have to enjoy everyone else's. Yours looks great so far!

    I love those binary blocks - and can't wait to see this one finished! I'm glad to hear that you're working on a stocking, too. I've had it in mind to make stockings for my family for 3 years -- but haven't made it happen. So I've actually been thinking about starting them now!

    The quiet book is adorable. I'm just making binary blocks for INSPIRE, and I really like your color choices -- I found them really addictive to piece, and kind of wish I were making more than two!

    Yay! Your doing the scrappy trip along. You can justify by using the scraps from all the wip's for the blocks! See? Easy ; )

    These are all going to be good. I am looking forward to seeing how binary finishes off. And I too am being sucked into the scrappy trip vortex.

    The scrappy trip along has taken over! I don't have scraps (I haven't been quilting long enough) but I'm thinking about doing it out of a fat quarter set. I like the pattern and your WIPS are great.

    The peer pressure is starting to get to me, too! It's amazing how quickly the scrappy trip along spread.
    I love the hedgehog on the cover of the quiet book!

    Oh the quiet book looks so sweet! And yes don't those things like scrappy trip along just call your name even though you totally don't need another project! HA! I almost joined myself!

    I have no business starting the Scrappy Trip Along but I don't think I can resist it either! Can't wait to see yours!

    I love the quiet book! I had always wanted to do one for my girls but never managed to get it going amidst the other projects :)

    Trying to resist joining in the Scrappy Trip along too as I have other things I would like to finish first.
