Green Quilt........Day 3

Day 3

28 more blocks pieced...

I pieced a few smaller blocks.

I am placing the darkest blocks around the outer edges

to create somewhat of a border treatment.

The lighter blocks in the center area.

Lots more blocks yet to piece...

Green Quilt......24 More Blocks

Day 2

24 More Blocks Pieced Today.

It is FUN to see them up on the design wall...

although they won't be set exactly in this way.

30 Blocks completed so far.

We are expecting 80 degree weather here in

Western Oregon tomorrow,

so I will spend the day outdoors working in the

flower beds, mowing the lawn, planting bulbs and doing

most anything to keep me outside in the sunshine!

I will post again on Monday when I get back

to the sewing machine.

Green Quilt.....Day 1

Day 1

I am making a new quilt for my favorite guy!

He likes GREEN

So, for the time being...

let's call this the GREEN Quilt

All of the fabrics came out of the pizza box

to be ironed and cut into blocks...

The fabrics are layered 6 deep:

The block is cut......free style

This was a lot of FUN!

The fabrics are shuffled around:

The first block is by the sewing machine

ready to begin piecing.

The first block is done.

I like the wonky style.

The second block is pieced...

The third block is in the pizza box...

ready to be pieced.

It took no time at all to finish the

first 6 blocks:

This is just the look I was hoping for!

Here are 6 more blocks layered:

This free style cutting is too much FUN!

The layers have been shuffled:

6 more blocks ready to be pieced.

The pizza box works great to keep

all of the block pieces together:

I will post again when I get more blocks done

and up on the design wall.

Wonky Blocks.....Give 'em a Try!

Baby Feathers Quilt......Done

We had a gorgeous sunny day here in Western Oregon!

While I was waiting for the dew to dry off the grass,

so I could mow the lawn...

I ran out to the Thread Shed to put in the

last few stitches on my sister's baby quilt:

I am ready to pass this back to my sister so she can

sew on the binding and label.

I stitched curls into the inner border...

Loops stitched on the final green border...

This was a lot of FUN !

Keeping with the PINK theme...

Look what is blooming just outside the door

of the Thread Shed...

Camellia

After a long and wet winter,

it is finally SPRING and time to MOW the lawn!

No Quilting for me tomorrow...

I am joining my friends for a

Quilt Shop Hop Trip

Baby Quilt......Feathers

I spent the morning cleaning and organizing in

the Thread Shed...

After I finish a big project, I get the room back in order

before I begin the next quilt.

To reward myself for all that hard work,

I decided to quilt this baby quilt for my sister

(she created the quilt top).

I wanted to try out a new method of making

free motion feathers.

Let's see how the afternoon went:

I chalked out a few lines to help with placement

of the feather spine.

I am experimenting with the

"Bump Back" feather method...

I like it...

I haven't decided on a design for the circles or the borders yet.

6pm.....I called it a day.

I will finish this up soon......it is FUN!
