I've been working on the big neutral quilt, determined to get it finished so I can move to something more exciting. Yesterday, that happened! Six hours of quilting was all it took to finally see the finish line on this one. I had to quit at 6:00, but took the photos anyway. I will trim it and apply the binding today. Yippee!!
I started a week ago, making these blocks on Sunday and Monday
This block took a full day to finish while quilting other projects
Thursday and Friday's progress
Three sections were completed by Saturday night
Yesterday, I finished the last blocks and assembled the quilt sections.
All finished and quilted.
Panto: Amethyst
I bought the wide backing in Cumming.
Meanwhile, I quilted and bound these charity quilts for the day guild.
Number one
Panto: Paisley swirl
I like the contrast with the backing
Number two
Panto: Frisky Feathers
Pink and green; so pretty
Number three, plaid hearts
Panto: PS I Love you
More pink backing
Number four; Pretty Chinese coins
Panto: Basketweave
Oops! Sideways pink backing
Number five; some floral stars
Panto: Rows of feathers
Oh shoot! Sideways again. Creamy white with a blush of pink
I am so happy to get onto something colorful for the next quilt. It took all afternoon just to cut out the pieces for the background of the blocks. I imagine it will be slow going as there are 24 blocks, and I intend to use 12 color combinations for them. I'll cut two and sew those before moving on. I'm excited to see how they look. It's always a surprise and a bit of a mystery when beginning a new project. Let's get started!!
Backing cut and bits labeled, colors stacked up and ready to sew
A couple of unrelated pictures for you to enjoy. The last of the Summer blooms on the back porch, Penny finally using her bed for its real purpose, and a tidbit I found on-line. Happy sewing!
