A Little Progress

I am making a little progress in the Quilt Studio.

This is the last Quilt of Valor and it is on the HQ. I have started the quilting but I don't have time right now to finish the quilting this week. I had a busy weekend planned but that has changed now so I may get some time to finish up this quilt and move on to a grand daughters birthday quilt. Time will tell.

This quilt is on the design wall but has not progressed in the sense that you can see the progress by looking at the design wall.

These are the unit that are getting ready for the quilt on the design wall and soon I will get these blocks all together.

I have a bunch of 4 patches ready to be sewn and then I will make the blocks for this quilt.

I will keep plodding away.

Some Stuff that is Going on in the Quilt Studio

I have several things going on in the Quilt Studio at this time.

On the design wall is half of the blocks for a new quilt that was started in May.  It is for a special project and I am loving how it is turning out. The quilt is from Bonnie Hunter and is called Floribunda. I have loved this quilt ever since Bonnie showed us an antique quilt she had found and she replicated it. I didn't have time to do this then but I really wanted to use this pattern for this project.

This is the Grand Illusion mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter and I am almost done with the outside pieced borders. This is a beautiful quilt and will be for someone special.

On my cutting table are pieces from the Floribunda quilt and also another new start which I haven't discussed on the blog yet. It is another special project and is from Jenny Doan. It is called Chevron and I think it will be great looking when I start getting it together. I am using recycled shirts and fabric from my stash only.

Well, enough for today.

Two More Completions

I have completed the two baby charity quilts that I had on the HQ.

These two quilt have the same main blocks with different spacer blocks.  The above one has green spacer blocks.

This one has white spacer blocks.  I used up the last of the fleece that I had bought a few years ago at a garage sale.

They are about 40 X 40 and I used the spiral squares pantogram. I think they will be very cuddly and will go as a boy or girl quilt.  Green and yellow are great for either boys or girls.

I will write about some more stuff going on in the Quilt Studio in another post.

Keep on Scrappin!

So What is Happening at Scrap Quilt Heaven?

I am happy to say I have been working very hard to finish blocks up that I have been using as Leader N Enders this last winter. I am tired of looking at and working on them so I finished up a bunch.

This is the blue flannel backing that I have ready to sew together for the last Quilt of Valor that is ready for quilting.  I will show this quilt when it has been completed.

This is my empty design wall. I just finished putting together the last block for a sampler quilt I was working on last winter and I put the top together yesterday. I will show it when I decide how I am going to do the borders to make it bigger.

This is my empty cutting table.

But I think I will work on cutting up these scraps today and get them into the correct bins.

These are the next three sets of blocks I am going to use as Leaders N Enders for the next few months. I talked about these in a previous post. I am getting excited to work on these new projects.

I have finished all of these blocks and have two tops together for 2 baby quilts. I have more of these blocks made but I will put them away for now and I will probably end up putting the extras into an orphan block quilt down the road.

These are the last units for the Grand Illusion quilt. I will now put the sashings on the blocks that I have all completed. This quilt is finally making some progress.

This is all I have this week but I am sure I will have some finished quilts to show soon.
Take care and Keep on Scrappin!

Grandson's Quilt is Done!

I have finished the quilt I was showing in the last post. All that is left is a label.

This is the first time I have made a fully pieced quilt for a grandson..Leif is the last grandson to get a quilt. He is the youngest grandson.

I didn't have the extra money to buy a center piece of fabric with matching borders this time.

I also just love this pattern. I have used it many times for a Quilt of Valor quilt.

The brown stars are left over from my Smith Mountain quilt and I think the orange rails look great.

This is all I have for this week. It has been a busy week!

This is what else I have going in the Quilt Studio

I have a few other things going on in the Quilt Studio to update on.

This is my grandson's quilt on the HQ. I have two rows left to quilt and then it will be done.

This was on my design wall but it is now all sewn together and is now waiting to be pressed and measured for the borders. Almost finished. Yeah!

This is Floribunda from Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville. I started this just before I went to the Quilt Walk. It will also be a full to queen sized quilt.

And last but not least is my Grand Illusion blocks. I have 3/4s of these blocks finished but it has been on the back burner because of more urgent quilts that needed attention.

This is all I have for this week. I will Keep on Scrappin!

New Quilts Started at Quilt Walk

I am back from the Quilt Walk in Panquitch, UT.

I started two new quilts with the two classes I took there. This first quilt class was all day from 8:30 in the morning until 5:00 in the afternoon. Needless to say I left at 4:00pm. I was so tired from working all day.

This picture is not very good for the pattern but it is called Granny Squares from Moda. Each block ends up making 2 blocks if that makes sense. I made 4 blocks.

I have cut out a ton of fabric. I hope this is all the cutting I will need to do for this quilt. I want it to be between a full and queen size quilt.

This quilt is called Stain Glass. I have 2 sets of 9 blocks ready. This is the first set.

This is the second set but it is not showing very well in this picture. But I do have 9 12 1/2 inch squares ready for the final cuts. I will then put them together the same as I did for the first set but the cuts will be different so this set will look a bit different.  Confusing, huh?!
Anyway the blocks end up around 12 inches finished. I want to make a full to queen size quilt out of this block also.

This is all I have for this post.
