Back to the work week. The weather sure has been wonderful which makes it hard to spend 9 hour days indoors :(! I've got two things scheduled this week one is the dentist for a cleaning (not too bad) and the other is the April Sunshine Monthly Meeting.
This month we made a pretty block for the BOM. Done in purple, white, and a supplied yellow. It's called a butterfly block. I suppose the four patches on point are the butterflies. I'm anxious to see all the other purples being used.
I'm continuing on Autumn Rush. I've got seven more pink blocks to assemble. There is a white pieced inner border, the piecing will be with more gray/white HSTs. It appears that I got a little carried away making pink/white and teal/white HSTs...of well there is always another project that will use them.
I'll be checking my mail for a package from Keepsake Quilting this week as I'm expecting the background fabric to be delivered for my April UFO (Indigo). I'll need to get going on this one right away...April is slipping right by.
Happy Easter!
It's been a productive day for my Autumn Rush project. I have been working through the week on all the components. Trimming and Spinning the Seam... Took quite a bit of time, but I think its been time well spent. I have seven more pink blocks to finish, a small inner border and then it gets a piano key border.
Unfortunately that didn't get Klunky Korners (Chunky Churndashes project) off the wall. This means that nothing to show as used this week.
I've ordered the background fabric that I'll need for my April UFO (Indigo). I'm hoping to get both the Autumn Rush and Klunky Korners projects finished before it arrives.
I did get two quilts back from Kerry. Kontinuum (Connect the Dots) and Komplikated (Patches and Pinwheels) are ready for binding, sleeve and label. The quilting is just beautiful. I'll share how the blue thread on the deep green of Kontinuum appear to glow when I'm a little further along with the binding.
So here's my report for this beautiful day.
Used this week: 0 yards
Used YTD: 86 yards
Purchased this week: 0 yards
Purchased YTD: 28.25 yards
Net Fabric Used in 2012: 57.75 yards
Here's my third block in Jo's Country Junction's Quilt Square Quilt Along. It looks pretty good with the other two made so far. I brought in the green from the second block and added three other colors; blue, red, and teal. These designs are from Lori Smith's Quilt Squares #1 pattern. Next we will be working on Lori Smith's Quilt Squares #4 pattern. Don't know which one we'll be stitching up first, but I'm anxious to find out!
I have lots of components done on Autumn Rush that is a design by Myra Mahy. These are the first blocks in the project to finish. There are only two block designs in the project. The gray makes a chain throughout the top. The border is a piano key design that uses the leftovers. I'll be full steam on this one until I can find the fabrics for my April UFO with Patchwork Times.
Finally a big thank you to Gail for gifting me this nice FQ bundle. Gail was in Virginia recently and stopped by Jinny Beyer Studio in Great Falls. She was so sweet to think of me. She didn't have any idea what fabrics I'd be excited to receive so she said she went with what she liked. What's not to like with this selection? Hmm wonder if she's giving me a hint?
