Wow another list to do and I love lists!
Checking off this week:
~Sandwich the purple coin quilt X
~Sandwich the pink, 1, 2 and 3! X
~Start a Green braid 1/2 X
I even impressed myself!
Spent a bit of time with child care, since the climbing child is
mountain skiing this week. Then took a whole day to
hang out in the sewing room and ,
"GET THINGS DONE".
First one up was the little pink quilt stack.
There was a yellow crib sized quilt in
the flimsy pile also so it came
in to play for quilting and finishing.
It has a minky-like back and no
batting. Finishes up at 38" x 53".
Next is a pink coin quilt. It is one of three
made with the left overs strips from
my first "Grandchild " quilt!
There are some adorable fabrics in
these quilts . They made it so much fun
to see again while quilting them!
This little one finishes at 40" x 46"
and still needs the final quilting.
I got to use pink ballet slipper flannel
for the back so it is extra cuddly!
Recognize the hearts in one border?
They are the leftover heart blocks from
my first pink quilt. When I started
layering 2 of these pink baby
quilts, they were too narrow.
I used the spare blocks from the
heart quilt to widen them up!
Success all around!
This one is the other using the spare hearts and ballet fabric.
It finishes at 38" x 46". Both ballet flannel quilts have
5 oz poly batting. I used up some large batting
pieces so it was a great spares quilt day.
One more pink strip quilt !
This one finishes at 38" x 43"and has the minky
back and no batting, but lots of cute fabrics!
Last up is the deep pink coin. This has a cotton back
and 5 oz batting. Finishes at 49" x 53".
The back was pieced with darker
colors so it would be okay for a boy too!
So what next? List completed? Nope.
Didn't start the braid but did start a green for RSC 2021.
It is a chevron made of green strips.
I worked on it during a zoom bee group .
So I will take 1/2 check on the list.
I even had some pre-sorted green strips to work with!
List for this week:
~finish ( de thread) the baby quilts~
~Pack and ship quilts~
~more green blocks~
~join backing blocks~
~assemble string stars~
~add crystals to family stockings~
Lots to do but it is my first virtual retreat weekend
so definitely achievable!
Stay safe and sew on !
