Well what else is there to do. I am getting so much sewing done I might just be able to finish some of my UFOs this year. Don't know if I will get to the Japanese Fan but that is the ultimate goal for UFO completions. Just saw the new arrangements for disappearing pinwheel on Missouri Star Quilting tutorials. She makes it look so easy but getting a pinwheel measurement which is easily divisible by 3 and more to the point able to be cut into thirds (try cutting 12 and 7/8 inches into three equal sections and btw sewing around the outside of two 10inch squares is not a piece of layer cake either) is not easy. Anyway for better or worse I have made two quilts with the disappearing hour glass and will make two with the new dispin arrangement. I do like the quickness of making the blocks and the look of the quilts. Oh well nothing comes cheaply.
It seems as if I have no control over where the pictures go. Wanted to move them side by side. Oh well. I have finished the red/cream one and am ready for the label. The navy one is a donation quilt. It has been quilted just waiting for binding.
Below acting on its own power is the scrappy Irish chain quilt in blue civil war fabrics with a header of blue Wonky stars. REally like to do these and hard to beat blue and creams. Had 2inch strips left over from BH Smith Mt Morning.
I am going to try to get a picture of the Safe Child quilt. I still have to do the binding.
For some reason this picture did not show the bright colors of the prints. anyway the binding will be in a pretty orange grunge I got at ME's. The grunge is not grey but fuchia. And the quilt is upside down.
Karen finished her baby quilt and it is really cute. I will try to show pics next post.
