It's amazing how much you can get done when you decide to sew every day! Thank you, Pat Sloan, for issuing the challenge.
Actively in Progress:
Star Crazy Plan B is almost done. It needs a batik border to make it a decent lap quilt size. I will shop for that soon.
Ninnie Niner is a completed top. Most of the 9-patches were collected in the Ninigret Quilters' 9-patch swap. The layout is Thimble Blossoms' Niner quilt. I need to find a backing for this one.
Sew Every Day 16: I got the rest of the fabric cut for Pete's album quilt while he was volunteering at Cub Scout camp. (There are stacks of white background pieces, too.)
I only managed to sew together one block. Now that all the fabric is cut, whenever I have a few minutes, I can piece a block. I have 13 of 40 blocks needed for this quilt. Ten of them were made by my friends in the Modern Stash Bee.
Coming soon: My nephew and his wife announced last night (at a Reveal Party!) that they are expecting a baby girl in November! This will be the fifth great granddaughter for my mother- no boys! I started a Baby Quilts Pinterest board last night, with fabric and pattern ideas. What is your go-to baby quilt pattern?
Back burner:
Tops to be quilted:
Vintage Modern- needs backing
Chevron & On- needs backing
Magenta Crayon Challenge- ready to baste
Swap Soup- ready to baste
3X3 Swap- quilt by check after furlough
Bears in the Farmhouse- needs a border and backing
Blocks to Assemble: 4X5 Modern Bee
Have fun visiting other WIP Wednesday posts!

ReplyDeleteGreat work. Love the 9 patch quilt. Finishing is so rewarding!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been busy! Congratulations on fitting in a little sewing each day.
ReplyDeleteHello ... I just wandered in via the Quilts for Boston flicker group and have been reading back through many of your posts. I really like your improve star block and wanted to see it closer. I may be improving something like this on my own soon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and best wishes to the recent grad, Eagle Scout and new Marine.
How nice that you and your daughter were able to get to Boston to see the banner flag exhibit at the MFA.
You make beautiful quilts ... :) Pat
Great scrappy feel on the Ninnie Niner. Can not wait to see it all finished.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy looking at your quilts! What are your plans for the Ninnie Niner? The pops of green in it are jumping out at me, but I have been having this thing for green lately. Also, thanks for responding when comment.
ReplyDeleteWonderful work.
