Quilt-as-you-go reversable quilt

Continuing on with the post of Thursday, about tackling the orphan blocks.  By the time I sorted all the orphan blocks in the container and other bits and pieces in the other containers, I had a total of 18 items, primarily quilts, to add to my list of "works in progress".  However, when I was cleaning out some more, I came across 5 small drawers of miscellaneous panels and bits and bobs, that are waiting to be turned into something.  

Now I have to add yet another 19 more items to my list of "works in progress".  If I keep this up, I will be buried under a mountain of quilts, table runners, etc.  I'm still waiting for some of them to speak to me, about what they want to be when they grow up....lol.  In the meantime, I'll work on the stuff that I feel confident, can be put together relatively quickly.  Get them out of the way, as my brain works out what to do with the rest.  I am hoping there are no more hiding places for these things, as I am now at a two page list and that to me is a bit daunting...

The first thing from the newly added items was the houses that I spoke about yesturday.  The second item from these newly added items is this reversable quilt.  I call it quilt-as-you-go, because the blocks are already quilted, and now I am going to assemble it, in the quilt-as-you-go method, with the binding type sashing to attach the blocks from both sides at the same time. 

It looks plain right now, as it does not have the sashing on yet.  I'm hoping to cheer it up a bit with the green fabric on the left side, as the sashing for the top, and a medium solid blue for the sashing on the backside.  The sashing will form a grid on both sides.

This was laid on the "design floor" on Tuesday when I needed a break from sorting stuff.  I had these squares for a while.  They are from my samples that I make for quilting patterns.  For whatever reason, these ones were rejected, maybe due to size not fitting right, or it was a trial pattern.  Rather than throw these out in the garbage, as they're really not good for anything else, I decided to cut out all the good parts into small 4 1/2" squares and make a mosaic pattern of various quilting designs.  They are cut small enough that you don't see the whole design, so they become more of abstract art.

Below are the two separate sides.  I finished the top on Wednesday and Thursday and finalized to binding yesturday/Friday.  This quilt measures 40" x 40" and is being donated to Project Linus.  It didn't turn out too bad.  Simple, but nice.  I am sure some child will love it, to snuggle up to!

One completed of the 37 newly added items......36 more to go......lol.

Today, my sister is coming over to help me paint the ceilings in the sewing space and longarm area.  Once that is done, I can get on with things and start catching up on quilting.  It's going to be a busy day with moving furniture from here to there, so that she can paint, then back again for the second coat.

Take care everyone.
