Now that that is done one of my design walls is (was) empty. This morning I pulled out the FCQ Equilter's Komen quilt to finally finish off. As I've made blocks for the 1800's Quilt I've also made some of the blocks for this quilt. I only need one more block to start to put this together. I sure hope I have my math right and everything actually goes together nicely. This is NOT the true color. This looks - yucko! But it will look great once done. I've put in the golden coping fabric that I will need a small bit of to make all the 9" blocks go together. Anyone have some opinions on how (what order) I should put this together? I'm thinking sew the side blocks together and then figure out how big the coping strip needs to be and do both sides the same. Then sew the top and bottom rows into strips and see what size strip would then be needed?
Here's what I got done on my weekly goals last week. Not bad considering my motivation was, um, zero!

This is actually a short list or so it seems to me but I need to focus on finishing the quilting on a few things. Will see how I do.
My computer is giving me a little grief trying to get on the internet so I wasn't able to post this earlier today. One of these days I'll figure out if I need to replace something or other on it.
Don't forget to visit Patchwork Times to visit blogs across the internet.
Happy Quilting All!
Thats a huge to do list!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the little pooh quilt! I am not good with coping strips so I have to measure when all the other parts are put together....
Wow, you've really made great progress on the women quilt! Love the floral print you've used in some of the blocks. It really sparkles in the pictures. You are right, some child will absolutely adore that winnie the pooh quilt. Clever idea to use the book panels for blocks.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! That Pooh quilt is just going to be some small child's "snuggly", you can tell!!! I have had so little time in the sewing room since March, I am living vicariously through your progress!
ReplyDeleteThe purple does stand out, but I actually like it, and a dark binding, maybe purple also, would make it blend more. Maybe a couple of purple butterflies appliqued on corners of the lighter materials. But, as you say, someone will love it as is.
ReplyDeleteYou asked on another blog about where to get the printable solvy stuff for embroidery. Bird Brain Designs would be the place to go. =) Sign up for their newsletter and get a free redwork design each month. Archives are available for past years, too.
