Design Wall Monday

It appears that nothing much has changed.  I have made a few more QST and another block for my design curtain quilt

Stash report

My stash report is nothing has changed.


Between school activities before school starts, parental activities because of health and birthday parties, I have not finished anything.

I've done a little sewing, but no completing

Design Wall Monday

I had a busy morning and now DD needs to go to the doctor again for her knee.  Wish I had some experience to know what to do.  Rest does not seem to matter one way or another.

Anyway, I didn't get much done this weekend, but here is my design wall with the quilt coming together.  I do like the way the blocks are lining up.

 Here are the design curtains.  I have 4 more blocks to make for the center of this quilt.  Then to making more blocks with smaller hst.  I have lots of bonus triangles I'm using.

My to Do List

If I don't get stuck elsewhere, I think I could get much of this list done.  That's a big IF, so this might go into next week.  LOL

1.  Sew numbers in Corbett Band Pants
2.  Mend some Clemens Band Pants
3.  Make Prototype Music holder
4.  Continue with testing blocks
5.  Make 2 Hayes Corner blocks
6.  Make QST for batik quilt
7.  Keep going through files on my computer to delete duplicates and not needed anymore
8.  Continue cutting baby clothing, and maybe even sew some together?

My son says I'm reaching the capacity on this hard drive.  The computer is only about 11 years old, so that is not surprising.  LOL

I really want to get some of these done so I can focus on the baby clothing quilt and get it done.  My hands hurt from cutting all those little pieces and I tend to only do a little at a time.

Finish

This is my BOW quilt where all the blocks have flower names.  I just loved the blocks, and the setting The Sampler Society came up with.  This is a large quilt.  My finger is sore from binding it.  We took a ride yesterday and I was able to finish the binding.  Not one of my UFOs, but I love it.  It came completely from stash!

Slow day

Started my off with parent duty, then came the prep day for school. I have a high schooler -- first class per-AP Physics.  Yikes!!!  Won't be able to help there.

I did start loading this quilt.  Need to reroll it, but now I need to figure out what color of thread to use.  It keeps changing its mind with me.

so, you've seen the design curtain quilt changing over time.  It can be seen in the photo above too, but the sun in shining through the curtains and washing it out.  Anyway, I was using bonus hst to work through to see what could be made.  I made an ocean waves with the batch and still had leftovers, so I started this one and this is what is left.  I have one block hung to copy off of for placement.  I have one I've just finished sewing the rows together as a leader/ender project, I have one laid out to be sewn when I can and then this is enough for another block.  To even out my rows, I need 4 more blocks.  I have them.  This might not be as big as I might wish, but it is a good use of 2.5" hst and they will soon be GONE!!  Amazing, I never thought that would happen.  I do have more that will end up being pressed and trimmed, but they are not done at this point.  

I have been thinking about how I could actually make this larger.  I want to try and see if I can use my 2" hst to make this quilt larger.  Think I can?  Should I use the same design and just make it larger?  Time will tell.
