Good Morning Quilters!
The week has been a busy one for me, with not much quilting done. But the top border row of triangles is up on the design wall:
There are seven completed and six to go. I hope I am able to complete two more this week. It is making me smile to know the middle 169 blocks are completed. As you can see, I decided to use shirting for the plain triangles stead of indigo. I am curious to see if I have 76 different shirting fabrics to make each one a different print. Oh the games we play while we are cutting plain triangles out of shirting, right?
On the pink and brown medallion quilt (Collection for a Cause - Faith) project, I am still making square within a square blocks for the next round to be added to the center. And the method I’m using is to sew diagonally across a background square onto the center square for each corner…….and then cut off the underlying two pieces. Well, you know I would save the cut off little pieces to make a small quilt someday, as I do like little triangles. Here is a pile of them on the ironing board right now (the middle stack):
I need a little magic fairy to trim them all to the same size, but if she doesn’t come and do it for me, it will probably be me being the fairy at some later date. As you can see, I’m almost finished with making the blocks (left stack and right stack and some others in the other room). They finish at four inches in the medallion quilt. I hope to have this round sewn onto the center by next Monday’s post.
What are you up to this week? It is a busy time of year, with school starting soon, and all the sweet corn, tomatoes, and peaches ripe for the picking right now. I love August, and am looking forward to helping some friend’s children shop for school supplies.
Please join our Design Wall Linky Party below and dazzle us with your design wall……or wherever you are working on your project. No design wall is necessary, but they do help sometimes. Thanks to all who participate - you are my favorite people!
