QOV #57 done

It took me 30 minutes per row to do these little mazes, but they are done. I think it turned out well. The template worked well, and I got better at arranging it.

The front is very pretty.



The back shows the quilting best.



I have one more QOV to finish (they were actually December QOVs that I had a hard time getting to). Patty said not to worry, so I focused on other things.

Sunday update

It is Sunday again, and I found that I forgot to report last week. So, if you want to see other reports, got to Judy's site to see what folks are doing.

What I've done so far this year includes quilting a QOV and working on the 2 others from the Patty.

I caught up on the Carolina Crossroads Part #2, Part #3, Part #4, Part #5 and am anxiously awaiting Bonnie's next installment to the mystery.

I have to tell you what I did the week before (that I forgot to report on). LOL

I made a beautiful star block for a love quilt.
I did Part #1 of Carolina Crossroads.
I was making pillows. LOL A baseball pillow, a pink leopard pillow, and 2 minke pillows (what a mess minke makes).
I also made some towels for neighbors.

I'm happy to report that everything I did (including the towels) were done from stash. Yeah!!

I didn't even go to the store that is closing, so I didn't buy anything this week.

Thanks for keeping me accountable.

QOV #56 quilted

I got the quilt loaded and quilted vines with leaves all over in a random pattern.

I now have 2 more from the same lady. She does incredible piecing. You never have to worry about things being flat.

I think I know what I want to do on this one. I think I'll do a meander with the geometic design as a basic pattern. Well, I changed my mind on the design - this happens all too often. LOL I found a template by EZ quilts (I think that is who made these) and decided to use it. I've only done 4 of the blocks and 2 half blocks, so it is not a quick process. I think I figured out there are 24 blocks and 4 half blocks to do. This is all for tonight. Time to call it a night.

But this third one is baffling me. I am not one to do feathers yet, so I don't want to attempt that at this point. The border has some butterflies, but Ithink that centering them would not work well, so they would need to be random around the quilt. Then, I think about duplicating the pieced block in the solid blocks. But, I'm not sure that is a doable task. Any suggestions?

Finished Clue #5

Finally got into the sewing mood and finished up the 100 QST. :)

So, I'm ready for the next clue.

In the meantime, I need to get these QOVs and QWLs completed.

As soon as this is posted, I'm going to load my next QOV.

more Carolina Crossroads

Well, I tried to find my companion ruler today. No luck. But, I tried to get another ruler to work, but I didn't figure out the correct size of the strips. So, I just used the trusty way of making hourglass blocks of using 2 squares into hst and then into qst.
I got 30 made and pieces done for others.
Cleaned up the sewing area some. Did some housework. Played with DD and had a relaxing day.
I go in to my follow up on the blood pressure medicines tomorrow morning.

Carolina Crossings

Clue #4 is finished. I had fun with these triangles. Now that Clue #5 has been loaded, I'll be working on it tomorrow. I hope to be caught up then. Bonnie has been making this mystery fun.

Thanks, Bonnie.

Carolina Crossings

Clue #3 is complete. I'm on to Clue #4. All the pieces are cut out and I started sewing. Then, it was time for fireworks.
Tomorrow I can finish Clue #4 and I'll be caught up.
Have a GREAT 2008!
