W.i.P. Wednesday

Life at our house is turning topsy-turvy this week in the form of emptying out rooms, the word "demolition" added to our vocabulary, and the anticipation of new flooring. W.i.P. Wednesday seemed a good way to keep track of what I'm up to project-wise, just in case the chance to sew vaporizes for a bit.

 Current projects
City Sampler Quilt Along - so far so good at keeping up with the 3 blocks a week and hoping that can continue.

Mini Quilt Swap project - this is what I've been working on the last several days. Fabric is cut for a pieced backing, and a new-to-me technique is niggling in my mind to finish it up. At this point, the mini quilt top has been a very colorful journey, not without some self-doubt. But I'm pretty excited about it now and anxious to get quilting on it. Oh and my scrap basket has taken a serious hit, which is a good thing!
ROYGBIV mini quilt top, triple churn-dash, 23"

Riley Blake challenge - I have a tentative plan using my Mango block and have just begun cutting and piecing.

Upcoming projects - I have fabric and pattern all set for several of these - just need to put in the time.
* pillows for mom
* more City Sampler blocks
* 'For Pleat's Sake' Tote
* Binary quilt challenge for SMQG
* Polaroid Quilt
* pillow for grandgirl
* another scrappy quilt
* URHere round 2
* a Nora Clutch

Linking up with W.i.P. Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.

    I'm also loving your churn dash for the mini quilt swap. I can't wait to see it finished. I love seeing your city sampler blocks too. I don't know how you get it all done. I'm so envious.

    Wow, I love that the churn dash takes a bit to surface, like a hidden message. And the colors are gorgeous! Beautiful work. :D

    Good luck with the flooring - nothing like upheaval to get you organized right? Can't wait to see where you're headed with the Binary challenge

    Your little mini is wonderful even if it did come with some self doubt . . . always leads to self discovery along the way. As for the demo, I've lived through 3 major remodels and know it's no fun but always worth it in the end. You'll make it.
