WIPS

Have you ever looked around and seen multiple pile of projects that only need a little work to get them to the flimsy stage?  How did I get so many?

There are quite a few that will move to the ready to be quilted hanger.  I added some scrappy blocks around this one.

My tulip garden is growing slowly.

I now have a double design wall and love it.

I have designed a fall couch cover/quilt. Think candy corn and beautiful leaf colors.

Assembly of quilt tops

I have been assembling tops lately. The hexi blocks are all together now.  I have an idea of a border treatment that involves more hexi blocks using up all those odd pieces of warm brown fabric.

It was time to put together the circa 1880 blocks as I had to order additional fabric for the plain blocks.  No excuse now!  I decided to complete mine with a light fabric versus a tan fabric.  I wanted a light airy quilt.  There are many more blocks and this is for a queen sized bed.  So far I love it.

Borders

I got borders attached on two tops yesterday.  Each top got a pressing with starch and hung on the to be quilted rack.  I seriously need to quilt some as it is SO FULL!  I am slowly catching up.

Those are cows in the border below.  Fun!

Next Steps with Hexi Blocks

I am closing in on having enough blocks for my hexi flowers.  I have started to trim them all to 7.25 and make a four patch the same size. I am loving how this is turning out.  The colors are truer in the first photo.  It seems very soothing and just as I pictured in my mind.
