WIPs Be Gone Week 2

My first week is over of making WIPs Be Gone. And I am happy to report I have some progress to show you.  After moving the blocks on my Design Wall all over the place, I came up with a design I liked, cut one block down to fit, and made one block I needed to fill it all in. So here is the center of Two WIPs in One:

Measures 34" square.  Now I have to figure out a border - think 2 more borders will do it.  Can you figure out which block I cut down? You'll have to look at last Monday's post for clues.  First one to comment with the right answer gets enough 3/4" hexagon papers to make 5 hexagon flowers.

How did you do with your WIP progress? I'd so like to see what you did - even if it was only a little bit.  Linky below.  It ends Monday, midnight.  So looking forward to seeing your steps forward.

I'm linking to Amanda's Finish it Up Friday and Sarah's Can I get a Whoop, Whoop? See you there.
On one last thing.  To see my Hexie progress or summary (actually) go here.

Design Wall Monday

For my first WIP Be Gone I put these blocks from two different BOMs on my design wall. One was the Just Takes Two BOM of 4 years ago and my local guild's BOM from last year.  Both I got in over my head with all the rest I had to do. I'll be taking what I made and combining them to get to Done.

Question is will I count this as two WIPs done or one?

I'm linking to Judy's Design Wall Monday, Lyn's BOMs Away, and Esther's WOW (See sidebar, right). Don't miss them.

WIPS Be Gone

A Recap:  Looking back on posts for 2014, I found more and more, quilting was interrupted by life's demands. Certainly, my mother's recent health issues were a wake up call. I need to spend more time with family and less on the computer. It can be such a pit of sedentary activity. So change is coming to this blog. I want to take this opportunity to thank every one who ever linked to Hexie Weekend. My plans were to work on hexies during the week and show them off on the weekend. More and more that didn't happen, and I kept finding other lovely bloggers who also had linky parties for hexies. So much eye candy there! I will still be doing hexies, but I'll be linking over at the more dedicated hexagon bloggers.

 I still would like to see what you are doing. It is very inspiring and educational to see what quilters are creating. My goal for 2015 is to make it the Year of the WIP. I have so many - do you? So starting this week, Hexie Weekend has morphed to WIPs Be Gone. I'll be hosting a linky party each Friday for your WIP projects, either a blog post or additions to your photostream. If you have neither you can also tell me about your WIP progress in a comment.  Be sure you're not a "no reply on Blogger" so I can answer back.  I hope you will share with me and the other readers. It's so much fun to see what you're bringing to life. Who knows I may even have a giveaway now and then.

I made a button.  If you'd like to put it on your blog as a reminder to come by on Fridays, that would be so nice.  You'll find the code on the right sidebar.

Lastly, I'll be listing my finished WIPs.  Let's see how many I can do in 2015. You can check the tab above by the same name for any finishes.
