Here's a quick peak at what's on my design wall this morning. The wall actually went through several variations over the weekend, some of which I forgot to take a picture of. On the left side of this photo is a block for a new quilt I'm thinking about. It didn't work out too well - lots of tucks - so I'll try again and see if I can figure out what went wrong, other than the fact that it's a circle.
I worked on my Border Creek Station mystery on Saturday, and finally finished up the March clue. Just in time for next month. I pulled out my guild mystery yesterday, determined to fix my mistake from the month before. Apparently reading is a challenge and rather than making 12 blocks (leaving me with the bits to make 9 alternate blocks last month), I made 21 all the same. So I had to unstitch and redo 9 blocks before I could get started on this month's clue. That is all done, but unfortunately I folded it all up and put it away before thinking to get the camera out. So photos will have to wait until next month.
Then, I pulled some fabric that's been sitting around, and put together some baby quilts. First, a design from Batik Gems. Done in oriental fabrics instead of batiks, and it's a little baby one. I can't quite call it a miniature, but it's about 1/6 size of the original design. Now that I know what I'm doing, I have fabric for a larger version in batiks.
Then I took 4 blocks from one of my BOM projects, and decided to turn them into a quiltie. It's a bit odd, but hopefully someone will like the cheerful colours.
And the final pieces of my charm pack that I made 2 quilties from last month. I have now put together this nickel brick quilt, thus satisfying 3 goals in one project - finish the charm pack, make a quiltie for next month's guild meeting, and make a nickel brick quilt.

Wow, what a lot of projects. And they are all so different: love it! You can't get bored in your quilting room, can you?
ReplyDeleteYou are one busy lady with lots of ideas! Great work.
ReplyDeleteI have been in your shoes many times...reading too quickly, unsewing and sighing a lot but in the end, things work out. Hope you have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteGreat variety. And, wow! Kudos for getting so much worked on. Is Nickel Bricks from the Nickel book? I think I have both and I love how easy that looks to do. Great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteNice variety of projects!
ReplyDeleteAll your projects are looking good. I especially like the charm pack, brick one for a baby quilt. So many quilts and too little time. Have fun with yours.
