Design Wall Monday- July 28, 2025

 Good Morning Quilters!

This week’s progress looks similar to last week’s progress, so I hope I’m not boring you.  There are five more blocks on the design wall in the Jane Stickle quilt.  Here’s a picture:  (new blocks circled)

Only 20 more to go.  Next week, I hope to have the outside triangles up on the design wall, to see how many of them are made, and how many need to be made.  There are 56 triangles and I think I have about 1/3 of them made.

The medallion quilt that was on the floor is now on the design wall, and I am continuing to assemble the third and fourth rounds.  It’s Collection for a Cause - Faith, with some substitutions from my stash of blocks.

Here is a picture of the progress, although it doesn’t look much different than last week.  But there are more seams added and less pins, so progress is being made.

I am excited about both of these projects, so I am happy. 

 How about you?  Your participation in our Design Wall Monday Linky Party is amazing.  Thank you so much.  I appreciate you.  Every week I enjoy looking at your blogs and watching your progress.  Again, thank you.

Design Wall Monday - July 21, 2025

Good Morning Quilters!

Here is my progress on one of my UFOs - the Jane Stickle indigo and shirting project.  Rows G through M are on the design wall, and I have circled the blocks made this week in the picture.

There are 25 blocks left, and last week there were thirty.  It is so gratifying to move closer to the end of this project.  I just realized that last week I said I had thirty left, and now I have twenty-five, which means I made five, but I have six circled.  lol. This project defies math for me.  But I am seeing the end and that excites me.  

I am also working on the pink/brown Collection for a Cause - Faith UFO too.  I have more of the flying geese sewn together, and am still deciding and switching out which of the six inch blocks to use from the other UFO.  Here is a picture taken yesterday:

Someone asked what putting 20 blocks into this quilt does to the plans for the other UFO that I took them from…….the big stack of eighty some six inch blocks……the answer is it doesn’t do anything to the plans for them…….because there are no plans yet!  I’m still waiting to be inspired to do something with them.

Design Wall Monday - July 14, 2025

Good Morning Quilters!

Well, I looked at the two UFOs that I pulled out, and I made progress on one of them, while I’m still thinking about the second one.  Here is the progress:

The UFO is a kit, Collection for a Cause - Faith, pictured here:

I sorted all the fabrics, read all the directions, and looked at what was done previously.  The medallion style starts n the middle, and I added the hourglass blocks around the center part.  The star and pink and tan pieces  were assembled before, and also the hourglass blocks were made previously.

Then I made a lot of flying geese for the next round.  Here they are on my “floor design wall” waiting to be sewn together around the center.  They are not sewn, just put there, overlapping each other as I work on them.

While making the flying geese, I realized I could substitute 20 of the six inch finished size blocks from the other UFO into this UFO, and eliminate making two rounds of the medallion.  Win-win!  So that is where it is at this point - on the floor because the design wall has the Jane Stickle quilt blocks on it.  What do you think about the substitution?

 

 

The design wall has the Jane Stickle quilt on it, and it has three more blocks now. 

Here is a closeup picture of the three…..they are each so cute!  it is a treat to finish one block, and then add it to the wall.

There are only about thirty left, and then I will start on finishing the triangles for the border.  

What are you working on this week?  Or should I say, what are you playing with this week?  Please join our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below, so we can join in your fun.  Thank you all for participating.  I enjoy reading your blogs and looking at your quilts.

Design Wall Monday - July 7, 2025

 Good Morning Quilters!

Happy 4th of July to all of our United States bloggers.  It is hard to believe it is now July!  The year is quickly happening.  My design wall again has my shirting and indigo Jane Stickle quilt on it, and again, I made some progress.  

Here is a picture of the blocks I made in the past two weeks:

It seems like I make about five blocks a week, so I calculate it will take me seven more weeks to fill all the empty spots.  I don’t know that I can keep this project on the design wall for that long……my attention span is fairly short.  

My thoughts on bringing out another UFO to work on……….I have two possibilities that will hold my interest.  One is a stack of six inch blocks, the note on top says there are 86 of them.  All different pieced blocks that were made as part of an internet 365 Days of Quilt Blocks a few years ago.   I am not sure how I will put them together into a quilt.  

The second is a kit -Collection for a Cause….Faith.  I am not sure how much of it is completed.  Pictures of both are below:

I am planning to look at both options this coming week, while getting more Jane Stickle quilt blocks made while I decide.   I suspect I may move forward with both UFOs.  That would be so like me.

What is on your design wall today?  Or what are you thinking about starting?  Or finishing?  Join our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below, and show us.  I really appreciate your faithful participation.  All of your projects are so interesting.
