Periwinkle Quilt Top....DONE !

I spent a few days last week piecing together 

all of the Periwinkle blocks... 

Here is the top laying on the work table...

These are all hand cut pieces...

not paper pieced

With all of the bias cut edges,

this was challenging to line up 

all of the pieces and make them fit...

I pawed through the fabric cupboards

and auditioned border fabrics...

I am going with the yellow inner border

and the Marcia Brady Flower Power outer border.

The yellow inner border is on...

It is ready for the outer border...

Here I am at the big board

pressing the first outer border...

The Flower Power fabric is just right...

This is a good winter project...

it looks like Spring !

I pawed through the fabric cupboards

in search of backing fabrics and came up

empty handed...

I found a mint green 108 inch backing online...

I will have to be patient and wait until

the mail arrives.

Periwinkle Quilt...Progress

 

I am making progress on the Periwinkle Quilt

102 Star Blocks pieced together...

Ready to trim the blocks to 6 inches...

This Bias Square ruler is my very favorite

for trimming up blocks...

I also use the revolving mat

to make the trimming go faster...

102 blocks all trimmed up and ready for

the design wall...

First two rows up on the wall...

8 rows up on the wall...

I have admired this quilt design for years

and it is finally a reality...

42 dark star blocks left...

I am placing the dark stars around the

outside as a border treatment...

That's all for now....more to come !

Calving season begins in 8 weeks

The heifers are getting round !

Quilters Project Bag

I have packed several quilt projects around

in this bag since I made it 2 years ago...

This is what I have stored in the bag now:

Periwinkle Quilt Project

Everything I need for the projects fits

nicely in this bag including all of the fabrics,

pattern, templates and blocks pieced so far...

Periwinkle Quilt Block

made with 5 inch charm squares...

My work table today...

Wool press mat, cutting mat, clapper, 

pattern pieces all cut and ready to go !

Assembly Line Piecing...

all of the pieced units piling up

behind the back of the sewing machine.

Assembly Line Pressing...

This is a very efficient and enjoyable

way to work...

Loving this traditional little

Periwinkle Block

aka Kite Quilt

The center pieces are shaped like a kite

The blocks are piling up quickly...

The more I make,

the more I like them !

I have to move on to another project,

so I will put all of this back in the

project storage bag for another day...
