Design Wall Monday

I had a very busy week, only being home Tuesday and Friday evening.  Previously during the week I went roller skating two evenings, line dancing on another night, and on Friday I decided a nap was in order.  Tuesday I sewed as I watched television; (anyone like Parenthood). I'm still working on the scrap quilting club's yearlong project.  I got all the setting triangles sewn.


Then I took the units to work and played with the layout; now I need to make the corner units.  On Saturday my sewing group met and I got about 1/2 of the quilt top sewn together but did not take another photo.

Then for a little variety, I starting cutting line dance related t-shirts to make a dance quilt.  I plan to add photos as well, so this will not be the typical t-shirt quilt.  I need to figure out a plan but I need to wait until the weekend when I'll receive a couple more shirts from other groups in the area.

I just realize I forgot to photo the pink and purple bricks that I'd framed.  I don't have a big enough space at home so I'll show it next week.

Design Wall Monday

I've been working on the scrap quilting club's yearlong project as I need to stay a step ahead of the group to coordinate the project.  I finally got all 16 geese blocks made and then made the next 9 blocks needed for the next steps.  For my light patches on the second set of blocks, I made my blocks like our ancestors.  I had pieces left over from cutting frames from strips.  I didn't want to waste them so I sewed them together like I've seen in quilts of old.


I did work on March's project too and almost have the top completed.  These are the blocks but this is not the setting and I don't have updated photo yet.  I made 115 blocks, 10 half blocks, and cut some sashing.  I have all 10 rows pieced but only 6 sewn together.  More on this project later.
