WIP Wednesday 7/11/12

Made some progress on my 3rd VA quilt.  Am about 3/5ths done.  I call it my plaid quilt.

The picture is dark as I had to take it at night.  Does it look like a plaid to you.  I know, I know - crazy colors, but my husband likes it -so maybe some vet will like it also.

I'm linking to Esther's WOW on her blog.  What are you working on this wednesday?

Fabric Tuesday

The second round of the second Anna's Garden block is appliqued and the third round is glued in place.

Notes on progress - it so easy to place when you have the outline available.  Label each piece as to where it belong - up, down, right, left on the shiny side cuz that's the side you will see.  Using freezer paper for the templates lets me lightly iron onto the front of the fabric and easily cut out the seam allowance.  Also it's way easier to do a few pieces at a time than try to manipulate around all the pieces as I did with the first block.

Design Wall Monday 7/9/12

There are two things new on my design wall.  I've been invited to two baby

showers - one in late July and one in the middle of Aug, so I have to drop everything and make three baby quilts.  Yes, one of them is having twins -both girls, and the other decided not to find out. I'll have to be creative and find something suitable for a boy or girl.  Of course I have to shop for these - LOL.  I just won't count as part of my stash as they are never even going to be part of it.  The fabric is going right from the store to the cutting table.  One mom really likes fall colors, so I got this cute collection call Ten Little Things by Jenn Ski for Moda.  I've decided to sash it in green. Hope she likes it. I love the cute little owls.

Secondly, I've finished my first Anna's Garden block and started prepping the second.  I'm hoping if I do a little each day, I'll be able to make a block a week -praying that's not too great a task.
