Design Wall Monday 3-11-2013

I haven't been posting lately for one reason or another, BUT I have been sewing.

I viewed a tutorial by Missouri Star Quilts a while back and decided to make the quilt. It's called Periwinkle. I used some leftover batiks.

I like it so far but cutting the triangle with their papers looked easy.  Putting the triangles together doesn't work so well.  I'm also looking at the squares and they didn't allow for  a quarter inch seam allowance on the points.  I think all my points will be cut off.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do at this point.

Still working on my Get It Done projects.  DW jean quilt is ready to tie.  I need to look up on Google how to tie a square knot.

Jana's Bears In the Farmhouse quilt is on the longarm.  I'm getting there but the weather has been so lovely the last few days, I been spending it outdoors....with the chickens.

Not much going on on My Design Wall.  These are Crown Royal Bags that will be the quilt back of my son's Jean Quilt.  I have several of them taken apart but aren't ready for sewing into rows yet.  The pattern is laying by the side of the bags.  The white space will be made out of purple flannel.  I hope to get some of the blocks trimmed and sewed together.

I have a couple days off during Thanksgiving and plan of getting my grandson's quilt quilted.  It's on the longarm and I've picked my thread.  That's the trouble, my tension isn't right.  I keep breaking the top thread.    It was late enough in the day Sunday to just quit and start up fresh maybe tomorrow.

This is a Color Palette Challenge  I did with Judy in May.  She named her's Sweet Tart and I'm calling  my Skittles.  It's also a stashbuster.  I didn't purchase a single fat quarter, remant or yard.  

I hope to get it done my Monday next.  Then I can handsew the binding at night while watching tv.

Design Wall 2-13-12

It's been a good week.  Since I signed up for Judy's UFO project and started posting What's on My Design wall at Patchwork Times, I've been sewing more.  It feels so good to get old projects out of the way and not feel guilty about starting new ones.  I posted the start of my son's quilt on Judy's website, last week.  Since then, I have only been able to sew on the weekends.  My nights after coming home from work don't allow any time.  But his quilt is started and there are more parts on the ironing board.

This is how I originally thought I would layout his quilt.

But when I started putting the squares on my design wall, I saw this design.  I like it.

Since I took the picture this morning, I have 7 rows and 12 columns completed.  My finished design, so far is 14x16 with a 2 in border.
