Design Wall Monday

I've been very busy this week, completing a few quilt centers and even starting another project.  First up is my Zigzag 9 which is part of scrap quilting club.  This top is due at the April meeting and I actually got it ready 3 weeks early.  Last week I sewed the blocks into rows.  This week I pressed the rows, make a few corrections (ripping) and now have a quilt top.  I do plan to add a couple of borders although not required by the pattern.

Then I pin basted the quilt I would like to have completed by the end of the month.

The majority of my time this week was spent machine embroidering the blocks needed to finish Bloomin' Flowers.  I even have the entire center sewn and the 2nd pieced border is ready.  I selected fabrics as I made blocks and am so happy with my UNplanned quilt.

I was blessed this week and received 3 Accuquilt GO! dies in the mail! They are Dresden Plate, Double Wedding Ring, and Robbing Peter to Pay Paul.

Of course I couldn't let them all sit in the packages.  I decided to make the sample project included with the die, four rings, to test the die cutting accuracy (see if I need to use paper or not) and ease of piecing.  I got a few units cut and laid out on the design wall.  Hopefully I can get this top sewn this week.
