WIP Wednesday

I've been sewing as much as possible lately, in between all the usual household/family stuff. I feel like I've made a lot of progress, although there is not an actual finish to report.

Ongoing:Polka Dot Swap- Eighty dotted charm squares arrived in the mail on Saturday, and by Sunday night, I had the blocks done! I think it is a little busy, so I'm thinking about adding some solid sashing. One color, two alternating colors, multiple colors? Straight, on point, twisted? Decisions, decisions.

Wedding Ring Star- Oh, yes, progress is a good thing! This is my priority this week while Julia and Pete are at Jazz Camp (days only). 16 blocks done, many more to go. This is a Judy Niemeyer pattern that I have used before. It's so soft and pretty in Kate Spain's Fandango!

Girl Scout Quilt- Catherine completed her block on Tuesday. Love that bit of red in the center.


Kaleidoscope Quilt Along- I finished the top late Sunday night, in anticipation of spending the week with the wedding quilt. Now I'm thinking about borders, but will probably skip them.


New Projects:
I drew up this red & white kaleidoscope in the layout I wish I had used for the purple one. It will be the second in my series of red & white minis. It will be paper-pieced 2" squares. It's all cut out, ready and waiting.


For the Love of Solids Swap- I jumped in on this one this morning, after telling Julia last night that I had decided to pass. But all the cool kids are doing it! What was I thinking? Don't tell my mother!

On Hold (temporarily):
4 X 5 Modern Quilt Bee- Pulling fabric and thinking about block designs.
Teeny Weeny PP Bee- all done for this month.
Rockin Robin Quilt Along- I thought Julia would do this one, but she hasn't started yet.
Nonna's Garden- I'll get back to this one soon.
Brownie Heartstrings & Tony's QOV- Really, why can't we just get these out of the house?!
Red & White Fabric Swap- We may be sorting with Karen this weekend. Yay!
