I was so hoping to have this finished this week, but my penchant for making huge projects has foiled me. I have gone through my stash and have nothing to use for a backing or binding. I don’t even have batting wide enough.

But a finished top is still progress, right? This is a queen sized bed so you can see how huge it is.

I have no place big enough to lay this out and get a full photo. Here is a quarter of it.

I have ordered fabric for backing and binding. I haven’t decided on batting yet. I’m bummed that this isn’t finished, but it is what it is. I’m very glad the monotonous piecing is behind me.

Have a great weekend!

I participated in a doll quilt swap on Instagram. I sent off the quilt I made a while back and yesterday, I received mine in the mail. It came all the way from Jayne in the UK.

How gorgeous is this? I was seriously giddy when I opened it! Those Hexies are tiny.

It is all hand pieced and quilted.

Isn’t this label pretty?

I feel very fortunate indeed to have received this beauty.

This is the quilt I sent to my partner.

If you have never done a swap, jump in when you see one going on. Such great fun!

Have a great day!

The blocks are done!

Honestly, they got a bit boring to sew. A good audio book or three, helped. My design wall was too small to lay these out.

And I had plenty of help.

But the top is now in one piece. I’m not sure I have anything to use for backing or binding now so this may get set aside for a bit. I’ll do some digging in my stash before I put it away.

Have a great day’

No matter what is going on in the world today, it doesn’t change the fact that Jesus is risen. That changed everything! Happy Easter from our house to yours.

I’m making slow progress on this old UFO. The squaring off is nearly done on this end.

I will add another row of green hexies so none of the flowers touch the binding.

I counted out how many more hexies I needed and got to cutting. This turning mat was helpful.

We’ve had some really beautiful weather this past week and I took advantage of it.

It sure doesn’t feel like Easter weekend, but I thinking changing things up a bit isn’t all bad. We will have a drive in church service. The mister is cooking for us, and there will be plenty of time today for quiet contemplation on what Easter really is.

Have a great day!

The days all seem to run together lately.

I have been sewing masks, like everyone else. Here’s my dear son in law modeling one I made for my daughter. I think he needs his own! Lol!

I enjoyed this quirky book while I stitched.

Willy and Winslow have been enjoying walks.

Mr. Wonderful 3D printed a cookie cutter and made me cookies!

I love jigsaw puzzles. I’ve done this one before, but I’m about to start it again.

Big L made a robot!

Oh, Willy! Silly boy.

Have a great day!

I’m still working on these blocks.

I considered buying another jelly roll, but Bluprint has closed their warehouse for now. I ended up scrounging around in my stash for enough to make this the size I wanted. I sorted all my strips into sets so I could distribute the different shades.

This is what 16 blocks look like. I have 20 more to go.

I hope I don’t hate this when I’m all done. Ah well, I shall carry on.

Have a great day!
