Quilt cam

Bonnie Hunter does a quilt cam randomly at night (and occasionally on the weekends).  Tonight I was able to watch.  I like watching because I feel like I am sewing with someone else.  Since I don't have a lot of people to sew with.

Here is my set up.  I am working on a string quilt and the wonky log cabin.

Once I got a bunch done I moved tables to trim.  Minnie decided she wanted to watch quilt cam with me!

Here are two of my string blocks.  I have a few more finished but I didn't get the paper removed.

I am linking up to Cat patches NewUFO (my string quilt)

Fat cats!

Well I finally did it! I used my fat cats ruler!

This is my first block!  My ears aren't that even.

I had a little bit of a learning curve, similar to putting equilateral triangles together, I want to match up line for line.  But if you don't do it right, this happens:

One side lined up, the other didn't! I trimmed it a little bit, so it was ok. I am making a few others and playing with it still.  I have an idea for a wall hanging that wouldn't necessarily involve quilting but would be cute for a cat lover! And I think I might finally have a use for all the cat fabric I have been hoarding! I can use it for the kitty bodies!  We shall see if that is what I end up doing!

NewFO

So I have a few UFOs, but I have things I want to start, and I don't always start them because I feel guilty about my UFOs, but Barbara at catpatches is hosting NewFO.  So I am going to list projects I would like to start, so that I can come back and keep myself accountable and START them!

1. Fat cats quilt.I got this ruler for Christmas two years ago! I want to make it!  So one of my goals for this year is to get this quilt done!  Just googling fat cat ruler there are SO many cute ideas I could do!

2. Easy Street.  Bonnie Hunter started a mystery this year called Easy street.  I would really like to do it, since I haven't completed a mystery of hers yet!  This one seems like fun, plus it will help me practice flying geese which I am not too fond of.







3. Heart Quilt.  I love heart blocks and I would like to make a quilt full of quilt blocks.  I have already started laying out how my design will be. I even have an idea of who I will give it to ;)
