Design Wall Monday 2/21/11

They've asked me to make a siggie quilt for a professor.  Here is the first block I've made.  I haven't sewn the units together because I may make it more scrappy and will have to mix the 48 units.

They'll be signing on the white and tan strips.  Block is 12" square finished.  Quilt will come out to about 51" square.  I designed it with EQ4.

Stash report 2/20/11

Was busy all week with fabric, but not anything to report about.  Finished another secret block, but it only took about 1/8 yard of pieces from my stash so the numbers haven't changed much.  At least I didn't add to the pile!
Used/Donated this week: .13 yards

Used/Donated Yr to date: 11.72 yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: -3.5 yards
-------------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Used 8.37 yards.
Over at PatchworkTimes, Judy has posted the state of her stash and let others also do so. Check it out.

A Bump in the Road.

There has been a bump in the road to moving forward in the Quilt-Along.  DH wants the federal tax info by Mar 1 so I'm going to have to set the next step on the back burner while I get that Schedule C done.  Hope sooner than later. For those who may need to get their QAYG done now, adding borders is the same as adding a row, but I add all four before I quilt them.  It's easy as they are on the edge.  Then I bind by cutting off the excess batting and bringing the backing forward and folding in half and sewing it down as the binding.  Pictures to come.

In the meantime - I won the blocks at our Guild for the Scrappy Orphan Posie Block!  Now I have 13 of them to play with - another UFO!  LOL.
