The two quilts I’m working on got some progress this week:
(1) Collection for a Cause - Community is on the design wall, or at least 1/2 of it. The blocks are now all adjusted to the same size, and here are all the solid diamonds for it. I put the darks and lights into vertical rows. Next, when they are all sewn, I’ll put up the four-patch diamonds into the blank spots.

As I am working on this quilt, I realized that since I cut all the diamonds shorter and fatter than the instructions, the quilt will probably be shorter and fatter too…..but, since the cutting mistake gave me extra fabric left over from the kit, I am making more diamonds to add three more rows to make the final quilt longer. I will have to see what size it turns out, as I am thinking it should be fairly close in size compared to the original pattern. We shall see. This quilt is certainly an adventure. (2). The Cousin’s Walk quilt borders are coming along. Two borders are finished, and the last two borders are now 1/2 finished. I had set a goal of having the borders completed by the end of January, but that may realistically be the end of February. I am a slow appliquér. But it is not a race, right? Here’s a picture of the two side borders as they are right now:  How are your projects coming along. Please update us by joining our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below. Thanks! I really enjoy seeing your progress and seeing your pictures. |
