W.i.P. Wednesday

W.i.P. Wednesday snuck up on me this week. Going out of town for the weekend was fun, but didn't help the sewing cause!

Completed projects
Shades of Grey  - This little quilt was really fun to make and was easy to take on the road to bind and finish. {more here, including a pic of the pieced back}

Ongoing projects

Cappuccino Bali Pop Quilt - Basting didn't go as planned last week, but at least the top is done, batt measured out, backing pieced, binding made, and some lovely variegated thread ready to go.

Swoon quilt with Terrain - Unfortunately no progress here. sigh.

Dead Simple Quilt Along with Lily's Quilts - No progress here either. The qa was put on hold for a bit.

Wrenly HST quilt started in Katie's class - I put the blocks on the end of the ironing board, so I press a few every time I turn the iron on. Not sure what I'll do for sure, but threw some up on the design wall just to get a feel for what I've got.

Upcoming projects
* Pretty {little} Pouch Swap project. 
* October do.Good Stitches blocks - two Raggedy Bullseye blocks NEW
* Stash quilt - zig zag quilt. 

* Quilts for siblings #2 and #3.

W.i.P. Wednesday

It's been a good week of sewing, and here is is, W.i.P. Wednesday already!

Completed projects
Improv Windows table runner - This was a spur-of-the-moment project, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out, plus it was fun. Here it is again, for you W.i.P. Wednesday readers. If you'd like to hear more about it, see here.

Ongoing projects

Shades of Grey - Top and backing are pieced and basted; binding cut. It's busier than I expected - I'm kind of wishing I'd used less of the contrasting solid, but oh well. Hope to be quilting this tonight and have ready to share by Monday.

Cappuccino Bali Pop Quilt - Yay! I finished piecing this top, binding is cut, and backing discovered in my stash. I'm hoping to get it basted tonight.

Swoon quilt with Terrain - Two blocks down, seven to go!

Dead Simple Quilt Along with Lily's Quilts - No progress here. Trying to finish a couple of the above before I get started.

Upcoming projects
* Pretty {little} Pouch Swap project. NEW
* Wrenly HST quilt started in Katie's class.
* Stash quilt - zig zag quilt. 

* Quilts for siblings #2 and #3.

Head on over to Freshly Pieced to see lots of other great w.i.p.s! It really is inspiring! Have a great day!

W.i.P. Wednesday

Having a staycation last week allowed for a little extra sewing time and a good report for W.i.P. Wednesday!

Completed projects
For the Love of Solids - The swap is over, and what a fun one it was! Challenging as it was, my partner loved what I made her, so that's all that matters. Please go take a glance at my sharing of the process {see here}.

100 Quilts for Kids Quilt Along - I also posted about this quilt last week {see here}, and was able to drop my donations off with Project Linus. (FYI, they also take completed quilt tops, if you have any you aren't interested in finishing and would like to see go to a good cause!)

do.Good Stitches {a Charity Bee} - Swoon block mailed off {see here}.

Here's a quick glance at those three projects, in case you haven't seen them along the way.

Windows Improv table runner - This hopped on the list since last week - a wedding shower gift, that I need to get photos of.

Zip-pouch for mom - Mom's traveling soon and needed a new little pouch. It's the first time I've cut into a bit of Terrain - yum.

Ongoing projects

Cappuccino Bali Pop Quilt - I got all the blocks pieced! Now there's a fair bit of trimming to be done before I can actually sew them together. 

Dead Simple Quilt Along with Lily's Quilts - I showed my palette a few days ago {see here}, but here's a glance at the actual fabrics. Ie. I'm ready to go!

Shades of Grey - Finally have started on these and got 8/12 done. They are quick and fun. These blocks look much better in person - not sure how I'm going to finish this mini-quilt off, so if you have ideas, please share them!

Swoon quilt with Terrain - Fabrics are chosen and paired, but no cutting yet. . . soon, I hope.

Upcoming projects
* Wrenly HST quilt started in Katie's class.
* Stash quilt - zig zag quilt. 

* Quilts for siblings #2 and #3.

On hold
Block-a-palooza quilt along donated to Project Linus.

There's no W.i.P. Wednesday link-up today, as Lee's overwhelmed by the looming deadline for her fabric design. Feel free to check in and encourage her on over at Freshly Pieced! Have a great week!
