Petite Plaid quilt

 I started this quilt a few weeks ago but hit a little bump in the road because I couldn’t seem to understand the directions.  After a few videos were watched I finally got it!  How stupid of me… so here is the first block, 15 more to go. Oh my so many seams to match!  From a distance the lines look straight, but not really!  The eye expects to see a straight line…   I’ve made some ironing errors and the seams are supposed to be pressed open  this is definitely a test of my patience.

 

Penny top is complete

 Just finished sewing rows together.. I need to stay stitch around the edges since a lot of bias pieces. I really like it!

Penny quilt

 I finished all 24 blocks, sweet production line assembly. Now the hard part, laying it out. Nearly impossible not to have similar fabrics close, but I’m still switching blocks around. The cat messed my layout a bit…

Some more blocks

 This is half the needed blocks. I should be able to finish the last 12 blocks by sewing them all at one time, assembly line fashion…

August already!

 I have been doing some cleaning up and finishing old projects, (pot holders). Now have started a new project, a quilt called “Penny”a real easy project once I  figured out what I was supposed to do as the instructions were vague. Here is a picture and here is what I done so far.  It’s fun and I’ll probably make another one with a pack of 12 fat quarters

Homecoming is quilted and bound

 I’m not happy with the quilting but it’s done and is cozy. I ended up following the lines which are diagonal. I went one way following the lines but didn’t repeat going the other way. Maybe I should have…

Strip cocktail is finished! Oops this is Frida!

 I really Like how this turned out. I have one more to quilt the homecoming quilt, then I’ll be at a point to start something new. I have quite a few on my want to do list. Since I gave all my fabric away and then bought new fabric I think I think I need to stop buying anymore and use Up what I have!
