All people quilt January

Every year All people quilt does a UFO* challenge where you list out 12 UFOs you have, they give you a number each month and you work on that quilt.  I tried to do it in 2021, but moving half way during the year put a damper on getting that done.  I knew I wanted to do it again in 2023.  

So I put together a list of all the quilts I had that still need to be finished.  And January's number was 3, and my number 3 was my pinwheel quilt a long, that I started in 2010.  

I am excited to have the top done.  I knew I wanted to add borders, the issue was, I did not have a lot of the fabrics left.  I like how the borders turns out.

I am not 100% done with it, as I need to quilt it, but I think I have some fabric that will work nicely for the backing, once there's a nice weather day, I think I will be going to the garage to quit this.

* UFO - Unfinished Object - can be a quilt that you started, that you haven't even cut, but it's a project that isn't done!
 

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.

Design Wall Monday

 Here is my design wall Monday, except really it's a design bed Monday!

I actually started this quilt FOUR years ago!! (Read here for more about it).  It's just been sitting in a box.  I don't know WHY I haven't worked on it.  I suppose it's just gotten buried by other things.  I needed a break from some other things I am doing, so I decided to pull it out.  And I laid them out.  I had originally thought about using the two different backgrounds, but I realized I didn't have enough of the blue.  So I decided to lay them out like this.  (I decided a while ago I wanted it on point).  I quite like it.

Now I just have to figure out the sashing and cornerstones.  Then the setting and corner triangles.

Quilt along

I haven't had a chance to post pictures in a while, I didn't get a lot done weekend before last, but I got a few blocks made this past weekend. This weekend is a 4 day weekend, so I hope to get some sewing done tonight, but we will see how busy I end up being.

Here are the blocks I have been working on. I also have a quilt top that is about 70% done, but I don't have any pictures of it. Maybe this weekend :p

This is BY far my favorite block so far! ^ I am not sure if it's the colors or the pattern!


I hope you all are having a good evening!

Quilt along blocks 4

Here are my first two color combinations. I don't like the layout of this block, it basically used flying geese, (but as half square triangles). If you look closely this is almost the same pattern as I posted last week. I liked that better with triangles.And here are all 8 blocks I have finished so far!!

My first quilt along

I have decided to do a quilt a long. I had an LJ friend that was doing this also, so I thought I would join the band wagon :)
