Design Wall Monday

Here is what is up on my design wall, they are blocks I am doing as a scrap buster challenge.  It's definitely helped me cut into my scraps!

 

I am trying not to finish this all at once, I am not using it as a leader/ender, but every once in a while I make a few blocks.  I think I will make a total of 120 blocks and then finish the quilt.  I am 1/10th of the way there with 13 blocks!

Here's hoping this one doesn't turn into a UFO by the end of the year ;)

Design Wall Monday

Design Wall Monday! Is a very old quilt.  It's one I started in 2010.

My journey with this quilt is here.  I think the last time I really touched it was in 2014.

I thought I only had one more seam to sew this together, the two on point halves.  I was quite wrong. I did have to sew the two halves together, but I also had to add the cornerstones, and I figured out why I hadn't added those. 

I didn't have enough fabric!  I had to piece them, which turned out fine, but I think that is why it slowed me down.

Now the top is done! I do want to add borders because this quilt ended up square, and I while I don't mind square quilts I prefer rectangular ones.

Alphabet quilt

I did not have enough of the fabric that I used as background to do sashing, so I have some of fabric that is similar, I know it's hard to see in the picture, but the background is black with grey music notes.  The sashing is black with white music notes.

I decided to just do a 2.5" sashing, since that is what many of the blocks used.  

It actually came together really fast.  I am mad at myself for not doing this sooner!

Alphabet quilt

It's spring break! which means lots of time for sewing! I have been going through some of my WIPs (works in progress) and I found this one!  

I realized I never shared any pictures of it!  I shared a few on my instagram, but never all of them.

Here are all the blocks finished and on my design wall.

I started this quilt in 2016! When we were first moved into our new house.  

They are spell it with moda alphabet blocks.  I used a different fabric for each letter.

I started this for a friend that had twins, but the twins are 4, so I think they each need their own! (I'll share those in a bit).

These blocks were found on Moda's website.

I enjoyed making the blocks, they were straight forward.  I would love to use them again to spell something out, but I also like just making it as an alphabet quilt.

Churn dash quilt

Well I finished the blocks I needed for my churn dash quilt.  But I felt like it needed something, there was only one yellow block.  So it felt, I don't know, kind of "heavy".

So I made two more yellow blocks, another pink, and a purple.  But now I am not happy with the size, it's SO much longer.

So I think I am going to do something I have never done, I am going to make it square, currently it's 6 blocks by 4 blocks, I am going to make it 5 by 5, which means I need one more block, but I think I will enjoy the size quite a bit more.

I am excited to finish this quilt! I have had it too long! (I started it in 2014!)  That's one of the good things about cleaning and organizing my sewing room, I am able to get to some of these projects that have been hiding.

Design Wall Monday

It is a design wall Monday!! And I have something newish to share.  Newish only because I haven't done anything with it in FOREVER.  Not sure if there is a reason why, but I spent sometime over the weekend cleaning up my sewing room and found it.  And decided it needs to be finished!

I realized I never shared a picture of this while I was working on it.

These are fabrics I have had for YEARS.  I have used these HST in another project, I decided to use them here in a pinwheel design.

Design wall Monday

Sorry for my absence over the past few weeks.  With Christmas coming up, I was so busy crafting (not just sewing!) that I didn't have time to post, but now I will have plenty of posts coming up!

I started this a few years ago, for the rainbow scrap challenge.  I want to get it done! Looks like I only need to make two more blocks.  Maybe a yellow and an orange?

Dog Quilt - design wall

I am sure I sound like a broken record when I talk about my design wall.  But I just love it so much!  We have lived in our house almost 3 years now, and I still love my design wall (and don't know how I lived without it!

This quilt is all dog fabric.  It's for my birthday swap I did (three years ago! I know!) I was having a hard time trying to decide what I was going to make, and then I thought, she has dogs, why not use some of this dog fabric I have, and make her a quilt!

I used a variety of fabrics, so it was hard to make a set design, but I tried to space out the lights and the darks.

Disappearing nine patch on the design wall

 

Here are my disappearing nine patch blocks on my design wall.  They sure do work up fast!!

I think I have enough blocks done! Now I just need to sew them into rows.  I am still trying to decide how I will quilt it, I am going to do this one on my home machine.

Design wall

I am SO excited!!! I showed pictures of my new shelves.  Well I was thinking about it, and I could use some velcro and a flannel backed table cloth and VIOLA! I have a design wall!! I chose Velcro so that I take it down if I need it.

I started putting up bow tie blocks. I LOVE these little blocks.  I have decided to start sewing them into twosies and foursies!!

Design wall

One of the things I was so excited about Saturday was their HUGE design wall! I wish I had room in my house for one!! Course I loved that I could see it straight from where I was sitting, so I could put something up and just look at it!

I am linking up with design wall Monday.

I started these in the spring. I loved doing scrappy but in color.  I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted to may it out, I had thought about a design like this, but wasn't sure how it would work, and now that I see it laid out I LOVE IT!! And I cannot wait to get it finished! As you can see I have a few more blocks to finish up, but this lets me see them laid out to know how many more I need :)
