WIPs Be Gone Again

I do have a small finish:

This is block #61 of the Splendid Sampler. Think I now have 41 of these blocks. You can still join up - 59 to go - you can make as many as you want or all.

I'm mostly working on the commission quilt. It has 49 blocks and it's taking me awhile.  But I did finally decide on what to do with my Gwennie medallion. Thank you so much for all your suggestions.  They helped a lot.

So I made more flowers: 

I'll talk about that process in a later post. Did some more cutting of fabric, and came up with this:

Made the white round smaller with the narrow strips of the corner fabric and that tied it together for me. It also made the flowers fit.  I have two more sides to complete in between working on that commission quilt. Slow progress forward is progress.

The winner of last week's paper pieces is Kathy E.  I've sent her an email.  Thanks to all 28 who participated.  This week's giveaway is a mystery quilt book - that means if you win I'll ask you what you like to make as a quilter and I'll provide three titles that fit (as close as I can from my pile) for you to chose from. Usual guidelines apply:   Leave me a comment for one chance.  Link your eye candy for another (link button below). Follow me and let me know for a third. Remember if you don't have a blog, you can always post a photo from a photo hosting service.  Please be sure there is some way for me to contact you. Ends next Thursday, midnight. I'll be linking to several parties including:

Design Wall Monday

My wonky stars now inhabit corners of my Gwennie quilt - more later. Their absence is the only change to my design wall except the addition of a few more sawtooth stars and hourglasses.  You can see they are pinned in bunches in places.

Those blocks are growing slowly as leaders and enders.  In fact I'll have to take a few minutes to cut a few more before long.  Giveaway still open - see top, sidebar for more info. Blessings!

Slow Sunday Stitching and More

I now have a plan for my Gwennie Medallion and am working on that, but not ready to show.  Also working on another SS block, but also not much to show. I'm going to go sit down and finish a couple of motifs on my ancient WIP while I listen to Schubert.  After that, it's time to sandwich a neonatal quilt.  This is officially a WIP as I made the top in March.  Time for it to be finished and given.

This will measure 30" square when done.

I fell in love with this darling Michael Miller Retro Rocket Rascals print.

A reminder: the giveaway is open - see top right sidebar, click on title to learn more. Closes Thursday, midnight.
