Deadline Ahead

 Lots of things to do but the most pressing

is the Rainbow Triangle Strings I need 

for a wedding next month. 

Since I have a whole set of  extra blocks 

pinned to the complete top sections, some

quick sewing is needed to get both projects moving. 

This is the bottom portion of the quilt and 

here is the top, so here we go!!!

Label, unpin, stack and stitch!

Row one done and now only twelve more to go. 

There is some strange power in the universe and 

I always end up with extra blocks for this pattern!

This is my own fault too, because I change a 

feature colour or placement.  That cascades into 

a few blocks being excess. So.. with these two tops

I consolidated the extra blocks as I was sewing and split 

them in half to make the needed blocks. All in all I only ended 

up with one extra blue and pink block!!  Yay me!  

Almost done!

The work table is empty. I cleared it off when family 

was coming so they think I am more tidy than I am!  

Recently I purchased 2 rolls of batting so I am all set 

to layer and quilt these two tops as soon as they are stitched! 

We will all find out if I can keep my focus that long!  

Wish me luck. I do work well with a deadline!!

Here are the tops completed midafternoon. 

I had a lovely 32 degree photo shoot!

No change in stash numbers but look at 

those finished tops!

 All the blocks were ready for the Rainbow String tops, 

so of course it is time to check out a different work in progress. 

The "To Be Quilted", pile is calling and doing  up  a crazy 

log cabin or two sounds like a great adventure.

    The black background lends itself nicely to some allover

quilting designs in multicolored thread. Usually, I sew myself 

into a corner, panic and drive off the quilt. Then I begin again, 

and do the same thing again.  It always seems to work out in the

end so I will get stuck in  and start sewing. 

There are three crazy log cabins in the pile.  So three 

different free motion designs will keep the quilting interesting 

for the recipients and give the sewer variety !

I think I will chose from these designs suggested in 

Joan Statz's Free Motion Quilting . 

Not too many things to fall off my tables after 

last night's clean up 

so I can jump in and start stitching!

Update!  Well some great fun was 

had and I have a nearly finished quilt.

The quilting design I used for the first of the 

crazy logs was none of the above!!

I ended up with this one. 

Here is my paper practice, 

and here is some quilting!

I managed to get all the way to the victory lap before the 

sunshine called and a new grand daughter needed visiting. 

The evening even saw a nice trim and fold.

Now all it needs is a saucy colored binding and 

I can adjust my stash report!
