I didn't get a lot of quilting done this week, as I was cleaning for company.
Tangerine and Teal was finished last Wednesday. Read more about it here.
I finally cut out the pieces for the wedding ring arcs. The new Judy Neimeyer pattern has instructions for strip piecing the arcs. I tried it, but didn't enjoy it. I'd rather piece with rectangles. It took about 2 hours to cut out 1280 rectangles- enough for 160 arcs! I think I'll try working on 20 at a time.
I'm not sure what will become of these fussy cut hexies. I think they look like gears.
In a never-ending attempt to get organized, my husband helped me hang some decorative shelves in our bedroom. I thought I wanted a ladder in this corner, but I can put a lot more quilts on these shelves.
I had to snap a pic of the dining room table cleared off. It lasted only 3 days and things are piling up already.
Have a fun Wednesday!
(Linkup is on vacation today.)
Strip piecing is not my favorite thing to do either...made me laugh on those hexies looking like gears...you should go with that theme in a quilt!
ReplyDeleteyikes RE: your latest quilt! I made one ONCE but thankfully it had solid arcs. but still. Good for you! And love your quilt shelves!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular table runner! 💗
ReplyDeleteWow-o, that's amazing! I love the blue and orange.
ReplyDeleteI have a Judy Neimeyer pattern that was making me bonkers until I just said - forget it, I'm doing it my way! I think she has amazing pattern patterns and designs but is for a totally different personality type than me. :)
Great quilt!
ReplyDelete... but it's those hexes as gears that really grabbed my imagination :-)
