September is shaping up to be a varied and
busy month! Lots of change happening everywhere!
The gardens are are winding down, and going dormant
families are falling back into routines with school, and activities.
My September is chugging along with 2 quilts finished
and coming out of the closet.
The first up is a large hourglass quilt inspired by B. H.
but following the RSC colors of the month.
It was sent out for quilting and came back complete and beautiful.
The medium blue binding really frames
it well and sets of the hour glasses perfectly.
It has a single Hobbs 80/20 batt and will be off to a new family
as soon as it is labeled and
the accompanying baby quilt is complete.
Next a lovely small, twin zipper style quilt
went under the needle and
is all stitched up and the binding is complete.
and found it very difficult
to both hold the ruler and guide the quilt!
They may end up to be some very handy
pattern templates but I will try again.
The clamshell design turned turned out very cute
and this will be loved by a little GD I know.
Most of the rectangles in this quilt were from a
friend who overcut and had lots of spares!
Very successful month so far!
Stay safe and sew on.

Your hourglass quilt is really really pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely RSC finish, very pretty. xx
ReplyDeleteOk, your hourglass quilt is so beautiful ... I may have to move that one up on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteThe strip of stars on the zipper quilt is a great addition.
Just want you to know you inspire me with all your scrappy quilts. The hour glass quilt is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love that hour glass quilt!
ReplyDeleteI have tried the quilting templates and found the same thing. They slip, despite the gripper tape on the back. Of course, like everything, practice makes better. :)
ReplyDeleteOh love your scrappy hourglass quilt! Actually, love all of them :) xx
ReplyDeleteThat hourglass quilt is gorgeous, the blues just pop, and I LOVE that postage stamp quilt, it turned out so pretty. That clamshell design is very attractive.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us at To Do Tuesday!
Love the hourglass quilt, and that there is a matching baby one to go with it! You've gotten a lot done!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever with scraps! Two lovely quilt finishes. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!!! I recognized the BH inspired quilt right away. The baby quilt is a cute design. And I LOVE your zipper quilt! I made one several years ago and must get around to making another. Inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your scrappy quilts. I think they're beautiful. I'm inspired to make the BH hourglass quilt for next year's RSC. I made Catching Rainbows this year; still have to quilt and bind it. Thanks for sharing and happing quilting!
