WIP Wednesday

Well, this past week had a very different rhythm to it than the previous week or two, but I still managed to check a few things off the list (some expected, and some completely not!)

Completed
The Hopman baby quilt:

I got the binding finished up on a very slow and slightly snowy day at the quilt shop.

FMQ pot holders:


Throw quilt from YEARS ago:

Silly little table topper:
A few of these were simply a matter of bindings, but that counts as completed, right??

Some Progress
Summertime Stars quilt top:
Quilt top is pieced and on the shelf of tops awaiting quilting... it may be there a while;-)

Test block for Friends + Fabric bee:
I still have a fair amount of work on this one before it's ready for the next stage.

No Progress
Encapsulated
Trip Around the World
November Bliss top
Nubees quilt top
Warm/Cool QAL
place mats already cut out

This week's tally:
New - 2
Completed - 4
In Progress - 8

Here's to a great week ahead, kids!!

Venturing into the vault of UFOs

Today I decided to revisit an old project... and I mean an OLD project.

Okay, maybe not THAT old! Nearly two years ago I bought the Fig Tree Quilts pattern "Summertime Stars" and that stack of fat quarters of Amy Butler's "Love" with coordinating solids.

I started working on it almost immediately, making one stack of 10 blocks.


And then other things took over (as Other Things are wont to do). These blocks got stowed away in a wire basket along with the untouched fat quarters... until today!!


Until THIS

becomes THIS

Now, is it dangerous that I left the step of piecing the blocks together into a finished quilt top until another day? Days DO sometimes become years in my world. But I'm trying to change that. Here's to moving forward!
