August One Monthly Goal - Great Progress

The goal of working on my quilt rack backlog and 

getting some charity quilting done was a success!

The last of the charity quilts were quilted,

actually only one.



This big beauty proved more than enough 

for my domestic machine.

I graciously bowed out of doing the second 

that was measuring  97"x 97".

The  use of various sizes, widths and changes in direction,

give this quilt a unique eclectic look.

Another success for the charity group!


Two items are off the ladder and on their way  

to the long arm quilter.


One will probably be a keeper for my cozy collection,

and the other is a gift for my DD

 to warm her bed in the winter.

Another cheery twin size quilt,

Hopscotch, is on the table and ready to be pinned.

The top did require an extra bit of work,

as you can see one of the blocks was turned.


I rectified this problem by first 

taking out a block that was correct!


Then I went on to take out the errant block.

Restitching everything and giving it a a press

got it back on the pinning table in a timely fashion.


Two others were finished up

using my favorite quilt binding workhorse machine.


The curved 9 patch was trimmed and bound,

and the last of the Irish chains

was quilted, trimmed and bound.






On to the next challenge! 

Stay Safe and Sew on!

Hopping To It

 The Hopscotch top is finally complete.

It was first finished up a few weeks ago,

but the size was a bit small at a 56" x 64"

so I upped the size by 8" so now it 

measures a nice 63"x 71".

Here it is with the additional top row,


all sides pinned and ready to stitch and,


finally all sides on. A nice press

and it's time to audition some backings.


The organization bug bit me,

I tidied it up a closet and happened 

to find a small bin of yardage for quilt backs.

This Hopscotch is getting a nice green check back

with small baskets of flowers. 


There were enough 3-4 meter pieces 

that 3 more quilts now have backings!

The Sea Glass will get this nice gold

enhanced backing.  

The first of the blue scrap strip quilt is getting 

a muted striped backing that 

mirrors the stripes on the front.


 The multicolor strip quilt will

be backed with a small floral print with a 

black background. 


It turned out to be a very productive start to the week!

Just a Bit

 Wow, sometimes you just can't get going.

I'm having a bit of that now.

So many projects, so little time

and so much of my time allotted already!

It must be spring!

Anywho, I see a project on my design wall

that is just a little bit small.


It is the Hopscotch or two-step pinwheel.



This first rendition has an error so 

it required some redo and now looks like this.


I think a row or two each way

will make it more conducive as a 

great gift quilt for a few I have in mind.

I have two sets of Outlaws

that haven't gotten a quilt and

two engaged couples who haven't gotten quilts.

Everyone should have at least one quilt to start them out

so I really need to get going.

I think I'll make blocks for the Hopscotch

and get some stitching done on a 

bright beautiful spring day.

Wow that sounds like a good name for a quilt!

Stay safe and so on.
