braid quilt

Kim challenged us to do this braid quilt. Well, I had winnings from Stashbusters and nothing planned for them. None of them really went with each other, so it was going to have to be 100% scrappy. So, I did add in some extra purples and decided to add purple borders to tie it all together.

I got the backing put together too.

100% from my stash!!! That feels good.

Now to get it quilted.

Judy is having us do the check in again this year. Accountability is a good thing.

This week I completed a dog bed for our animal shelter, and 2 love blocks and a birthday block.

I've been working on a Valentines UFO and a mystery quilt and a braid quilt. Nothing is finished there, but some fabric is being used. Soon, there will be lots of fabric usage in the future.

Love blocks

Seems I'm making lots of love blocks lately.

I like these colors - naturally -- reds of course! I was using this block for a table runner and decided it needed to go elsewhere.

Birthday Block

I finished the inner border on the braid quilt and finished a Birthday block. I love this one.

more sewing

I got to sew again today.
Here are 3 of the blocks for a Valentines wall hanging. Now, question is. Do I use these together, make more, or make 3 smaller wall hangings for teachers???? I had planned them for a wall hanging for us. But, I need some gifts. Better make a decision soon. Valentines Day is coming quick.

I decided not to have the braid quilt 7 wide, and stopped at 5 wide. So, there are leftover pieces. Who knows maybe I'll make a pillow to go with it.

I finally got a photo of the blocks for Glenn's quilt. Aren't they nice? There will be more coming in. I'll be making some more friendship stars to fill in spaces.

sewing today

It feels so good to sew. DD was home, but she was asleep allot of the day. Instead of sleeping with her, I sewed.

I made an extra heart block from a Valentine UFO I am working on. I think it might become one of the love blocks I need to send on. I started on another of the heart blocks.

I also made 3 braids and about half of the 4th. I think there are 7 of these for the center of the quilt. I'll try and get photos tomorrow. The camera is downstairs and I keep forgetting to bring it up.

I still need to quilt some things and finish the top for another love quilt. But, it feels good to sew some today.
