Fabric Story 11/15/11

Here's the back of the quilt from the previous post.  If you enlarge it you can see that I've quilted it. Off to bind it and I'll be able to take it to the guild meeting tonight.  What I liked best about these last two charity quilts is I was able to use up a bag of batting strips.  Using fusible interfacing I pieced two 32" squares of batting for part of the sandwich for each of them.  Something else out of my quilting room!

Design Wall Monday 11/14/11

Well the two charity quilts I had on the wall are much closer to being complete.  The St. Anne ladies sandwiched and tied one and took the other home to sandwich.  I'll be binding one soon.  In the meantime, I put together another one that needs to be sandwiched and quilted.  I'll be doing this one as there was a left over block and I want to use it in the back.  Here it is:

Sometimes I like to make one that is really more for mom.  A sister guild member gave me these blocks and I've put them together for a neonatal quilt. Have to piece the batting and then sandwich.  It's sitting on the back piece.

Stash Report 11/13/11

Working on charity quilts in the few minutes I had last week.  Tried to put in some time each day - some days no more than 15, but next week should be better.  No major events other than volunteer work, another dental appointment, a board meeting and watching Alan for a couple of hours - never a chore!  So used scraps, fabric for backings and blocks and a border.  Here is one of the CQs I'm working on - kind of weird, but I don't think baby will mind.  Four blocks I was experimenting with.  I call it around with cobblestones.  Need to sandwich and quilt.

And here are my numbers: 

Used/Donated this week:    2.99 yards

Used/Donated Yr to date: 95.12yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: - 12 yards
-----------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Used:      83.12 yards

Somehow I have to use/donate 17 yards before 12/31.  Will I make it?  Go over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see how others are working on their stashes.  Enjoy.
