Nothing like some motivation to get a lot of sewing done! Two of my classes ended (I still have one more this semester) and it seemed to open a huge block of time! Add to that my Dad came for a visit and so JW was interested in Grandpa so I was able to nab time here and there to sew and I really finished a lot over the past week and a half.
I posted about my postage stamp quilt a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been working on this since January! I started the quilt along when it was posted but one thing I did was made the mistake of buying yardage for my neutral. For some crazy reason, I thought it would be easier! Ha! After cutting it into strips, I took a break rather then getting started sewing. Once I finished the blocks, the top came together so quickly. This joins my quilt stack now, I don’t have any plans of when I can finish it and I have other projects I want to get done before the holiday season.
I am thinking of quilting in a diagonal, to go against the squares.
I also put together a quick and easy Halloween table runner. This was super simple, I used the fabrics from a previous W.I.P. post and they are all fat quarters. I cut varying widths on the 18″ side of the fat quarter. The one on the top is my original table runner, and the bottom is intended for the back. I wanted to use up the fabric and this way I can have a reversible table runner. I don’t have any plans to quilt it anytime soon, but when I do I want to use glow in the dark thread.
A little hand snuck in the picture! Table pictures are always terrible, so I’m sorry for that. I need to figure out a better way to take pictures, I live in Washington state where it rains a lot so I can’t do many outside pictures in the winter!
A late W.I.P. but it’s still Wednesday where I am! 🙂
I LOVE the postage stamp quilt! It’s beautiful!
That postage stamp quilt is amazing. I can’t even imagine tackling that. My MIL quilts but I plan on waiting a good many years to give it a try. I just don’t think adding a new hobby would make hubby very happy lol
Ha! i am beginning to think you might be addicted to making the tops! I can understand! The next steps are, in my opinion, a pain! But I hope you finish the halloween table runner before next year! I especially love the top. what a great idea – varying width strips! I just happen to think Halloween fabrics make the cutest small quilt projects. And this is no exception!
