On My Design Wall 8/12/13

I've added another row of blocks and sashing to the charity top:

One more row of blocks to go!  This will measure 36" square.  The charity tops I make for St. Anne's are that size for two reasons - big enough to snuggle a newborn and small enough to later use to sit on, and as baby gets older use in stroller or car seat.

What's on your design wall?  I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away.  See you there.

Stash Report 8/11/13 & Reveal

Almost the same as last week, but this past week I didn't even have the mere scraps that I would have appliqued. And all the hexie fabric has been accounted for earlier.  I did have to donate a yard of white to the St. Anne's charity quilt - that's all the busting I've done.  Here are my numbers:

in 0.0 yds.; out 1.0 yds.

Stash YTD: in 8.5 yds., out 94.43 yds.

Donated YTD: 41.96 yds

Net for 2013: out 85.93 yds

 

Also, I can finally show those two quilts for the twins as their party was yesterday.  Happy First Birthday Daniela and Elena! 

Here they are - front and back.

 

These were a disappearing nine patch with sashing.

Wavy line down one diagonal and then SID around other block pieces.

Gave it a nice serendipitous four block design.

In an earlier post of last week I showed Elena's name on her quilt.  Here is Daniela's:


I was personalizing without standing out too much.

Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times to see how others did this past week in de-stashing.



It's Hexie Friday!

and I got my second block done. Yeah!  I was afraid the last hexie flower wouldn't go with the other two, but it does. Now I can start the next set of three and work on LE - my busiest part of the month is done.

Do you have a hexie project you're working on ( I wonder how Billie will showcase her lovelies this week), one you've finished or one you've seen lately that you could share?  Any eye candy is great.  Linky below.
And for more wonderful eye candy, I'm linking to Finish it up Friday, so go see Amanda's post!
