Yesturday I had the day off work and thought I would tackle some loose ends. I had a lot of stuff all over the place in the studio. But before I got to that stuff, I just could not resist making a block for my Christmas quilt. I have to redo a seam to line it up better, but otherwise I like this simple block. The way this is sewn, it will make a red grid across the quilt and then the green will make another grid in between. When I saw the picture of this quilt, I was inspired.
Eventually I decided that I wanted to finish cutting all the solid fabric strips, so I tackled that pile. This took me a bit longer than I thought it would, but I keep telling myself that it is to be expected, as I was in fact cutting enough to make a few quilts. The 2 1/2" strips were for the Colour Crazy quilt. The 2" strips were for another quilt I have planned. This one is what you see in the bin below. Beside those strips are squares in 2 1/2" and 2" from the leftovers ready to make another quilt, though the squares do not have a pattern just yet.
In this picture below, are the pieces for the Colour Crazy quilt. In this pile there are yellows, oranges, pinks, reds and greens. I am happy to say that I have completed cutting all the solid fabric I need and this took care of three different piles scattered about.
I also found some fabric to use for the binding of the NICU star quilts and I organized all the scraps and fat quarters ready to be ironed. This last part is currently taking up the full length of my longarm, so once I get that done, it will make a huge difference in the room.
I am getting there.....a few more hours should get this place back in order.....minus the projects that are piled on my sewing table waiting for me to work on them.
Take care everyone.
