On My Design Wall

I should have been cleaning  and cooking yesterday - we're having an Welcome House for two sets of new neighbors, yet spontaneous combustion kept compelling me to get into the sewing room and finish the next round - thus the offset hearts (from the usual in the corners).  At first the size of the hearts didn't look in proportion to the center, yet on they went. Upon reflection, I'm okay with it. Aren't mothers often in the background supporting us silently?  Setting it on my neutral flannel design wall tells me the next round should be dark.  I'll  see.

Off to clean and cook after I link to Judy at Patchwork Times  and Oh Scrap and a couple of other linky parties you can find in tab above under header.
Would you like a fat quarter - giveaway still open - see top, sidebar.  Blessings!

Some of This; Some of That

My daughter came over and raided my stash - a good thing - lol.  Helped with my numbers for this weeks stash report. She's clearing out her sewing room/computer corner to make room for an addition to her family. You can read about it here. She found fabric for two backs and took 2.40 yards.  I used .6 yd for my crumb blocks, .5 for my Madonna SC, .25 yd for a pieced block for my UFO challenge, and another .5 yd for another teal block.

That brings my YTD total to 21.86 yds destashed.

I've finished hand quilting my third side of the last border on the ancient one. I've learned so much since I started it in 1987. And one thing is how to space quilting motifs in a border.  This last row has (ahem) a bit more space between the last two motifs.  But that is the way it is. Placement should be better on the upcoming hand quilting.

And that center motif should have been lower - I was alternating them up and down to fill the space.

What are you up to?  It's an overcast and gray day here - just right for a walk in the park and then some hand stitching while watching The Crown.  I'm linking to some parties that you'll find under my tab "Linky Parties" above.  Blessings on this Lord's Day.

A Winner and a Find

Last week's WIPs Be Gone winner is June D.  I've sent her an email and asked her in which color family she wants her fat quarter.  Congrats to June.

Now as to my 17 UFOs in 2017 challenge, I was suppose to start work on my crumb blocks.  Can't find them!  But I did find a different set, so I guess that's the one I'll be working on.

There are 25 of them.  I'm going to use 16 and make a modern neonatal quilt which will measure 30" square.  Finally, I can start on this one.  Now I wonder where that other set is???

I hope you get to quilt today.
