W.i.P. Wednesday

I don't have much to show this week for W.i.P. Wednesday.  O motivation, where are you?

Completed projects
Zakka Style Sew-Along project #14: Water Bottle Holder {full post}

Tutorial for pieced binding - I've been meaning to write this for ages. So now the secret's out about how easy it really is!

Ongoing projects
4x5 Quilt - Just finished sewing the top together - whew! I wasn't going to put a border on this one, but once the framing was done, well it just needed it. And now it's bigger than I anticipated, and you know what that means - pieced back! Love them, but don't like making them, especially on larger projects, but oh well. That's what needs to happen next.

Baby quilt - I'm revisiting the Storytime Squares Quilt pattern that I made for 100 Quilts for Kids last year {here}. By Rae Hoekstra of made by RAE, I remember this being a fun little quilt to stitch up. I'm pleased to have found a couple of charm packs of Marmalade by Bonnie & Camille, which it just what a certain baby's mama ordered. I've got the layout settled, now just need to start sewing.

A {secret} Finish

So I finished my For the Love of Solids2 large project this weekend. This involved finishing the quilting,

my first try at corner hangers,

inaugurating my new quilt labels(!),

and quite a few hours spent on pieced binding - time-consuming, but I thought it was worth it with this mini's design.

The final reveal  remains pending . . .

Linking up with {sew} Modern Monday, Fabric Tuesday, and Finish It Up Friday.
