Playing with HSTs

I had these HSTs leftover from this quilt. I had a sliver of an idea and I decided to play a bit.

Too narrow.

Better, now to fill in.

Ewwww…..no.

Again, better. What next?

Hmmm….

I think I’ll leave this on the design wall for now. It may never get finished, but that’s okay too.

Have a great day!

Tiny Nines

I got this far on my borders working as leader/enders and then decided to just finish it already!

I couldn’t find the background fabric I used in the blocks, so I used the same print in this pink colorway for the outside borders. Now I’m certain the brown stuff will show up.

I carefully quilted it all in a one inch grid. But it felt wrong. So instead of taking it off the frame, I took a nap.

When I got up, I knew I’d never be happy if I didn’t double upon the quilting. You can see a bit of the difference in this photo.

It would have taken less time if I’d done this in the first place, but here I am.

Have a great day!

This and That

My sweet sister in law sent me this puzzle for my birthday last month. Isn’t it awesome?

Here is the box, in case you want to find one for yourself.

I thought this was hilarious! Any Gilligan’s Island fans out there?

Also, I laughed way too hard at this!

Here is a book recommendation. I loved this!

And I leave you with a blessing.

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Baby Quilt

This was a fun little finish!

The blocks finish at five inches. So cute!

I had the fabric in my stash for the backing. It’s an oldie!

I found the perfect bit of leftover binding, but it was a titch too short. No worries, I just filled in with a scrap.

This piece finished at 30 by 35 inches.

Have a great day!

Trip Around The World

This behemoth is getting quilted!

I’m keeping things simple here, piano key border, half feather inner border, and continuous curves in the squares.

I have a lot of real estate to cover.

Have a great day!

Progress!

I finished the blocks for my baby quilt and even got it together and quilted! Yes, the mister was gone all day. 😁

Not only that, I got this beast on the frame.

I have lots of quilting to do now. Have a great day!

Charm Square Quilt

I have a gazillion charm packs. The local Project Linus is in need of baby quilts so that was a great excuse to rip one open.

I cut the charms into quarters and also cut 1 1/2” strips of white and navy blue.

After stitching the strips together, I put them crosswise on my strip cutting die to subcut them. I should have taken a picture of this, but I forgot. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I also cut 1 1/2 inch squares. Now I’m ready to sit and piece.

Here is my first finished block.

Have a great day!

Tiny Nine Patches

It’s time to get back to work on this little project.

The next task is to make borders from the leftover squares. I’ve decided to do this as a leader/ender project.

These squares are cut one inch. Tiny!

Have a great day!
