Whoop! Whoop! 6.1.2018

Amazing...

another week has passed. My days seem to fly by...

I dove into my stash of 6.5 inch cut novelty squares. Sometimes I have a lot of repeats of a pattern so I like to arrange them in a diagonal set. This time I focused on mainly boyish prints (but a few ice cream cones snuck in!). I chose grey as the backgrounds in an effort to use the stash.

pattern info: tilted squares using the method from Sharyn Craig

pants info: Square Spiral

Out of the Woodwork...

What would draw me out of the woodwork, you ask?

Well, it’s time to link up with Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict and her H2H quilt drive. Here is a little quilt I made to donate, not sure which one of the sponsored charities I will send it to yet. I have until June 1st to make a decision!

Well...I thought I would take my green and blue 3.5 inch strips and make something fun and easy.

Two color rail fence was the first pattern that came to mind

and well--

It didn't really work as I envisioned.

(sad face)







I am continuing on as I am sure someone will fall in love with it and adore it for all it's

un-unified-ness!    (is that a word?!)

Whoop! Whoop! 7.28.2017

I have a finish to share with you!

The brown/cream strip tube ruler quilt is done!

Quilt stats:

pattern: Simplicity

panto: popcorn

size (before quilting): 57 x 76





destination: Oconomowoc Quilt Guild/Jefferson County Foster Care kids

Here is the red/tan/blue strip tube ruler quilt in progress.

I really wanted to set it in the off center barn raising, but when I started to sew it together - well, the seams were definitely NOT matching up! bummer, right?!

So I settled on what I have named - Hanging Diamonds. I staggered the rows for added interest. I'm sure this has a proper name but I just sorta put the blocks on the design wall and the quilt formed itself with very little input from me!

(smiley face)



I was also able to quilt it down today.
