Progress Report

I'm still working on the magazines.

I only have a few more to go.

Then I have these "idea" pages I need to go through and decide if I want to keep them. 

T-shirt quilt has one more column to sew together.

Lots of shirts, lots of memories.

I will be putting a cotton border on it for stability in quilting. 

Baby clothing squares.

I am still working on them as leader/enders.

They are going down and I'm feeling good about this.

I still have more to cut out.

It takes a whole day 10 - 3 of cutting to get one gallon baggie half full.

Lots of time went into this one.

I think I finally thought of a good setting.

I had the idea of courthouse steps.

I have done too many of them and decided I didn't want to do them again.

I thought about double irish chain.

Decided it was too fussy.

I had a pattern for a star with the embroidery in the center and pinwheels as alternate blocks.

No, too fussy.

I am just going to border a nickle charm with scrappy 2.5" strips.

I think I want each block to be the same fabric, but other than that, anything brown goes.

I used this horseshoe fabric in a table runner that I use in the family room.

I think this is going to be my quilt for the family room recliner.

I'm excited and love the idea.

Now to cut 7 more center squares.

T-shirt progress

I have two more smaller pieces to get to a 12" piece.

Next will be to determine how to adjust for the length.

I might be about 1.5" off.

It is getting closer.

The washed black and bright.

It's a fun quilt.

Design wall Monday

Check out Judy's sites for other inspiration.

This is actually my Lovely Year of Finishes too.

I think I found the setting blocks looking through old magazines. 

T-shirt quilt is coming along.

All pieces have been stabilized. 

These 3 need to be stitched on a larger piece.

The shirts were cut before I got them to wear as tank tops.

I can't get a square of any size out of them.

So, my solution will be to stitch them to another piece of stabilized t-shirt material.

Now the fun begins to figure out how they all go together.

I need to space out the blues more.

T-shirt quilt

Here are the pieces all cut out.

I have 3 that need some special handling to get them into a square.

Now the fun begins.

I think I will measure them again and draw things out to see how to place them with all the blue dispersed.

Sunday

WE had REALLY bad thunderstorms today.

Wish I'd taken a photo of the

Still working on the T-shirt quilt.

Making progress. 

Went to Guadalupe State Park.

It's about an hour away and there was no sign of rain. 

Water was nice. 

Sunset on the way home.

I love these colors. 

I finished the binding on the black and bright.

I wonder why I made it that long???

It is ready to be washed and will get a better photo at that time.

This was the Prairie Moon Procrastination Challenge for April.

Only a few months late.

Green Floral

Another UFO

I had the last border to finish from my border marathon.

I like how this one turned out.

I think I'll bind it in green.

Not sure when it will get quilted, but it needs a backing.
