This week I did have a BIG finish...my first quilt! Also, I did a couple of small projects that I showed yesterday...so, now it's almost like starting new!
Today, Liz, Chad, and I narrowed down a quilt pattern for Liz's quilt...I think we have finally decided on this one...
Liz actually said she liked this one better...but she's three...so, I'm going to make the executive decision and add the sashing! Now that we have a pattern, I can start cutting fabric...ooohh!
(Edited to add this picture of the fabric
picked out for the Postage Stamp quilt...)
I'm still stalled on Liz's Season's quiet book...haven't touched it in months, except to move it! Christmas is coming quickly...I'll have to get it out again soon!
There has been little progress on the 60 degree Diamond Fall Table Topper...but I think I did get another star section done since this last photo in August.
For the afternoon I'm going to sort through scrapbook paper for the kids to use for their Christmas cards for the Soldiers (see yesterday's post for more details or click the Operation Christmas card button on my right side bar). I'm also going to start working on a few cards to contribute.
TO wrap it up...
Finished projects: 1 (Amber's quilt)
New projects: 2 (Postage stamp quilt, Christmas cards)
Continued projects: 2 (EPP Diamonds, Season's quiet book)
Total WIP projects: 4

Aww...make her the one without sashing mom! lol I'm sure it will look fantastic whichever way you go ;) My mom told me about a cards for soldiers program, I think that's really awesome that you're getting the kids involved making some too.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are making the executive decision. It made me laugh. The postage stamp quilt is great quilt with or without the sashing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletei hit up that sale at joanne too last week! how could we resist?! haha good luck with your project!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt choice!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics for Liz's quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool design and I bet it will look lovely in the fabrics you have pulled out!
ReplyDeleteI love all the bright colors you used! And congrats on finishing your first quilt :)
ReplyDeletenice stars :)
ReplyDeleteIt is always so nice to have the fabrics pulled and a pattern chosen, I hope you enjoy making your quilt.

That's your first quilt?!?!?!? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try the diamonds some day...they are always so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe diamonds looks good. I recently finished a quilt like that - only with diamond and hexies to make some space between the stars. Although I really think my hand piecing quota for this year is used my fingers are itching to start a new one soon.
ReplyDeleteI went over to see your first quilt and it is BEAUTIFUL!! So glad you have caught the quilting bug too.
ReplyDeleteIt`s a great feeling to finish your first quilt isn`t it? And it`s a beauty!
ReplyDeleteA postage stamp quilt looks like fun. And way to be bold about the Gospel!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your postage stamp! I keep thinking I should try, but I might be too chicken lol
ReplyDeleteIt'll be a lovely quilt when it's done. And I'm sure Liz will love it - sashing or no sashing!
ReplyDeleteThe table topper looks like it'll be fantastic when it's done! (I'm very impressed by paper templating projects!)
That table topper looks like it's going to be amazing!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great! Can't wait to see that table topper!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of adding the sashing to the postage stamp quilt! I also like that each block is random so if there is a color placement issue it's not a big deal; probably could use more scraps that way too.
