This past week was one where I jumped from project to project with lots of partial progress. Some weeks are like that. Here’s what I mean:
1) The cheddar baskets are sewn into groups of three for sashing and the quilt top is on the design wall right now. I found I had one basket left over. Maybe it will go on the label on the back. Assembly of the quilt top is next.
2) Lori of Humble Quilts (Here) is having a string quilt linkup at the end of every month this year, so when I saw this project in my stash, I added a few blocks to the pile. These are small blocks that measure 4 x 4 inches unfinished. Crazy small, but a friend started me on them, and they are fun to make.....well, fun if a few at a time. I'm making them on muslin, so there are no papers to pull off the back.
3) My postage stamp Valentine larger quilt is away being machine quilted, and I made a small Valentine wall quilt to go with it. This is 14 x 15 in. I like to have a small one to match every large quilt I make. I don't always do it, but that is the plan. It wasn't very hard to make, as all the squares were cut and ready in my 1.5 inch cuts box of squares. I just had to sort through and pick out red ones and shirting ones.
4) I continued making small 1.5 inch half square triangles to sew into broken dishes blocks (4 per block). Here are 400 of them which will make 100 blocks. I am trying to make 100 blocks a week, and they go pretty quickly. This batch will make the count of finished ones 600 out of 1300. Almost half way!
See what I mean about working on several things this week? Hope you were able to get some projects moving along too. It's going to be a snowy Monday here in Grand Rapids (predicted up to 10 inches) so I will continue on with my sewing fun probably stay inside all day.
Please join in the Design Wall Monday photos fun. I love to see your pictures, and read your blogs. As always, please refer back to this particular post somewhere within your blog post.
