WIP-Wednesday's

Block 11 - "Quatra Star" of the "Sew Happy QAL".
One more block to go - " Dresden Block", then it will be assembly time. Yahoo!  I just love it when it starts to all come together.

I'm still working on Hearts Desire.  I put the wrong leaves on part of my border that I had made to go into the center of the quilt.  So have been removing them and replacing them with the correct ones.  I'm way behind on getting this quilt done, but will keep working on it day by day even if it takes me another couple months to finish the top.  

  Finished another block for Just Take 2's Mystery QAL.  This has to be the hardest block I have ever done to date.  But I'm happy with my progress in this QAL so far.  

Orca Bay now has it's borders added.  It's Queen size, and I kind of wanted it a bit bigger for more overhang, so I may add another black border of a couple inches wide all the way around just to give it that little extra size needed.  

That's it for my WIP's today.  Go on over to Esther's Blog to see what everyone else has been up to.

My Works In Progress This Wednesday....




Hello Everyone,  It's Wednesday again and time to show you what I've been working on.

First I have two blocks done for the Sew Happy QAL going on over at Sew Happy Geek.  I decided to go somewhat bright and bold.

Next I worked on my Peaceful Pathway's border blocks.  I am putting two hearts up at the top, and then two of each sea-shell embroidery designs on sides and bottom border.

 I ran out of my white background so have to run to town sometime after all this snow melts and pick me up a little bit.

Peaceful Pathways is designed by  Esther Aliu.  Love Love Love the quilt and can't wait to show you all the finished top.

I'm still stitching along on my Hearts Desire Quilt.
It's another of Esther's designs. Gotta love them all, she does such wonderful work. If you would like to see more of what is going on over at Esther Aliu's then visit her blog Here.

I Finally have the little scalloped borders stitched down and am now starting the leaves. (they are just pinned in the area of stitch down for now, so I know if I need to make more).

I absolutely love this quilt and it doesn't bother me a bit to take my time with it.  I relax in the evenings and try to do about an hour or two most every night while I watch tv.

 I finished up my group of Disappearing 9-Patch blocks and they are ready to ship for the swap going on over at Malt Designs.

There is still time to join in and take part in the swap if you'd like.
It's an easy block and I cut and finished all mine in one afternoon.

And Lastly, I have Orca Bay's Center put together and

am now deciding on if I want to add another row of block to increase the size, 

or just an additional border or two.

Orca Bay is a designed by Bonnie Hunter over at Quiltville.

She hosts a mystery every year using all scraps.

These are great fun, lots of work, but I have done two now 

and enjoyed the results of both.  Well worth the time and I plan on doing

her next one fall/winter of 2012.
