Today I’m bindng the little quilts from Lori’s Steppin’ Out Class.

I’m using that leftover ugly binding on the red one.

I’m not happy with the quilting on the red and white one, but I learned a lot doing it. I’ll share the finishes soon.

Before I go, check out this gorgeous cactus!

And yes, I did stop the truck on the side of the road and run across a couple lanes of traffic to snap these pics!

Have a great day!

Lori from Humble Quilts had a Zoom class last Tuesday. It was so fun! We recreated a small vintage doll quilt. Of course, I cut too many pieces.

Hers was red and white. I came across the blue and black prints and decided to include those in mine.

I had plenty of pieces leftover, so I made another little top!

The class was only $10 and included the pattern. Participants were from Oregon, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. It was very relaxed and Lori is such a great teacher! I’m looking forward to her next class.

Have a great day!

I’m so late to the party! But I had to tell you about this amazing deal!

Once I started working on this, I didn’t want to stop!

I got a small piece of this red and black fabric in a scrap bag and it set the course for the rest of the quilt.

I decided it would be the center and I would build it out Courthouse Steps style.

I’m loving it so far! Have a great day!

When my friend Zenia and I went to QuiltCon, we both loved this quilt.

We decided to make our own quilts inspired by this piece. It took me a long time to get started because I didn’t feel like I had quite the right scraps to work with. Then I went to a yard sale and picked up these.

Just what I needed to get inspired! I sorted the scraps by size.

They were a big too chunky so I randomly sliced them down the middle.

Once I had a pile, I started sewing them into twosies.

I stopped and pressed here because these were pretty skinny. I knew pressing here would make sewing these together easier.

I made long strips of random bits.

It’s a good start!

Have a great day!

I dug through all the fabric that I have here and came up with one strip of yellow. Not a perfect match by any stretch, but I decided it will do.

Now I’m auditioning borders. The pink strips I had originally planned to use seem too narrow to me.

I’m not sold on any of these. For a little quilt, this is taking an awfully long time.

Have a great day!

This is some REAL slow stitching!

It’s the only fan I have done so far! Here’s hoping I make some progress today.

And I had an “oops!” In my post yesterday! I mentioned a book and the photo didn’t post. Here it is.

Have a good one!
