I pieced all 27 of the Crazy About Hearts and Stars blocks.
I then realized I only need 10 more quilts for friends/family so I went shopping to get theme fabrics. My nephew like basketball and my great nephew like writing lyrics and setting them to music. So I cut and pieced 2 sliding bricks tops. I have the backings pieced and the batting cut to size from yardage.
Then, I decided to work on some heart blocks that I won in a guild raffle. Of course, none of the blocks were the same size, so I added a frame to them first. Then I added some text I typed into my embroidery machine as the center white areas were plain, plain, plain and that just wasn't going to work. I then squared them all to the same size.
My goals for the week are:
(1) baste and quilt the music quilt
(2) sew the heart blocks into a top (minus the border for now as not sure what size I want the quilt to be)
and (3) sew the crazy stars/hearts into rows (still haven't decided on borders yet)
To see what others are working on go here for Quiltathon or here for Design Wall Monday.

Love these quilts. The Stars and Hearts looks like a fun quilt as does the sliding bricks. You sure are one busy lady. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHave a super great day!
You really took the quiltathon to heart. Good work!!
ReplyDeleteYou did get a lot done - that's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at your machine embroidery projects. They are really impressive. I also enjoy machine embroidery, but have never attempted anything as large or complicated as your redwork snowman quilt or your winter wall hangings. I wish I lived close enough to take one of your classes.
ReplyDeleteYou sure had a great quiltathon weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove your idea to stitch words inside the hearts. Hugs
