Wow, time keeps on ticking, ticking into the future!
No spring here yet , still cold and snowy.
Lots on my list to.
First up , finish stitching up backs.
Two are ready and hanging in the vault.
One more to go and I can start layering.
I keep changing my process. I sew all the rows
then press, or press between each row, or only press
after they are completely together ( not ideal).
The best process seems to be pressing after
all the rows are stitched, but before the rows
are joined. Always learning!
First to layer is the pair of Rainbow strips.
The recipient, sweet little Adylyn ,
arrived 2 weeks early! Her folks will
get the matching big one. I will have to
start another one for myself. I really like the pattern!
Then on to finish the corners for the
APQ sew along Many Strips.
I have quite a few units left
so it should be just assembly.
I had to square up the center with some
wider seams and creative pressing but it is
laying nice and flat now,
ready to join up with the borders.
Border work took up a lot
of Monday but zoom meetings make the
work go smoothly.
Stay safe and sew on !

You've been busy! Your snow and cold doesn't sound like fun. It is supposed to be 70 here today. I like your Rainbow strips - lucky little Adylyn. I look forward to seeing the big one of that pattern. Many Strips is very pretty. "Creative pressing" is something I understand. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with To Do Tuesday!
Ahhhh....your little robin square is so pretty! It caught my eye and I actually smiled when I saw it. So pretty. "The Vault." Such a cute name to store those quilts in waiting. Your many strips is so pretty! That was a lot of work, but wow! The end result is stunning!
ReplyDeleteYou've definitely been a busy girl! All that scrappy-ness looks terrific - can't wait to see the quilts in full.
ReplyDeleteThat certainly sounds like enough to keep you busy, Deb!!
ReplyDeleteYou've got so many lovely projects on the go! Time ticked on too fast for me this week, which is why I am so late in commenting! Thank you for linking with Monday This and That! xx
ReplyDeleteI do like that stripey border what a great idea! Another great idea of yours is to make matching quilts for both the baby and parents, I'm sure they will be delighted with your gift.
ReplyDeleteYour scrappy quilts are so pretty! Congratulations on having so many quilts closer to finished! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
