Design Wall Monday, August 1, 2016


Sunday I spent time working on Kalvery.  I am very close to a finish on this project.

I have two large and six small blocks yet to stitch.  I have the pieces all cut out now.  My plan for tonight is to sew them up.  It would be nice to have Kalvery done before I start August's UFO.  There is a parade today of finishes at 52Quilts.com if you have time to see who was able to get their July UFO finished.  This is also the announcement of what August's UFO will be.

Over the weekend I got a quilt back from Kerry's Quilting.  Katchaklaus has been trimmed down from excess back and batting.  The sleeve has been readied.  Next will be selecting a binding fabric.  I hope to find something in my stash; keep your fingers crossed for me :)!

Let me close with a Happy Birthday to my brother, Steve.  He's been looking over us from above for several years now.  We all miss him each and every day.

See more projects today at both 52Quilts.com and PatchworkTimes.com.

I do miss my brother who now resides with the angels. You're really progressing in all your projects.

Thinking of you and your bro today, Sandi. Hope you found the perfect binding fabric in your stash -- if not, come look through mine!

Kalvery looks great - hope that good memories of your brother make this a happy day.

Yes, it is a sad day, Steve was a great guy, full of love and happiness.
Kalvery is shaping up just fine. You will have it done in no time.

I love the way the blocks in Kalvery share a common border design but each one is different in the center. It is going to be a handsome quilt!
I hope the good memories of your brother will ease some of the heartache.

Steve will always be in your heart and memories, and no matter how many years, he leaves a huge gap that will never be filled. Loving those blocks, hoping some quilty times will be there for the heartache.
