Broken Dishes Assembly & En Provence Step 1

I have SO MANY broken dishes in the 4.5 inch size so I have decided to start assembling them.  I have a feeling I will be needing a new leader enter project soon.  I also made broken dishes in the 3.5 inch size and there are MANY as well.

I also worked on step 1 of En Provence.  I'm using lots of fun neutral fabrics.  I have 40 trimmed and a pile more for sliver trimming. Linking to Quiltville  Enjoy!

QOV Fun

I quilted my latest made QOV top this morning.  Quilted with organic wavy lines like the wind blowing.  Enjoy!

Merry Christmas to me

I finished quilt my Christmas Quilt this morning after fighting the machine.  The binding fabric was selected, made and sewn on.  Now there will be some slow stitching in the evenings while I snuggle under it.

My New Christmas Flimsy

As promised I finished the Christmas top today.  I'm tickled pink with it.  Even hubs said it looked good with the funky border.  The border was in one of my donated scrap bags.

It all started innocent enough.  Looking in a bin to see what was in there.  Hmmmm a bag of nine patches, more fabric.  Fabrics were speckled white and a nice green fabric.  Hmmm I need a Christmas quilt.  So that was where I started.  All I can say is that I had a great time creating my Christmas quilt.  My room is a disaster but that is normal..  I will finish tomorrow.

My Weekend

I found this block tutorial on this http://sewpreetiquilts.blogspot.com/ A good simple idea and used it to start making blocks for a quilt of valor. I had fun experimenting with color and reversing the darks and lights. I even substituted string blocks too as a test. It all works.

Another love top from the closet.  Love this quilt design.

And the back.  Pieced with some very fun fabrics.

Log cabin experiment

These blocks www assembled from the string bags. Mostly blacks and neutrals in all different widths. Here is the progression of assembling this flimsy. The last picture will show where I am currently. I intend to add a border of some sort. I see that the top and bottom can be matched up.

 Now the side columns need to be matched up.

Now I think that the blocks can be joined together.

The result, different and glad I got this out of my mind. I will add a border and quilt it up for a love quilt.
