Finishing!

So this weekend was all about finishing up.  I had 2 huge quilts to be finished and the goal was to finish them both this weekend.  Which I did, unfortunately I have no pictures to show for it.    The first was my humanitarian quilt that in my haste to get it to the church Saturday night, I forgot to take a picture of it completed.  Arrrghhh!!  The second quilt to finish was a "baking" project.  And so of course, I'm not showing that picture either.

So now that those two huge quilts are finished I am going back to finishing up the border on my Chubby Stars Quilt.  Also, since that won't take me long to finish and I can't leave you without a picture, here are some of the fabric combos I'll be using for some upcoming projects that I have in mind.  Happy Quilting!!

My Brown Bag Arrived!!

I am so excited!!!!  Aren't these prints just wonderfully amazing!!!  I love polka-dots!!!  How did Glen know??  Glen even sent me the wonderful appliqué book in the back, how nice is that!!

I have already pulled 3 or 4 prints that I have in my stash that match so perfectly, and they are polka-dot too!!  Well I won't sleep much the next few nights just pondering on how to piece this together.  It's gonna be fun!

90 x 90

So Remember those selvages that I gave you a peek of on Friday.  Remember how I said I had cut them out that morning.  We'll they didn't stay in pieces for long.  Friday was the Father and Sons camp out so Jacob took the boys for the night.  Jessi, Kami, and I had a Barbie Movie Marathon and then after they went to bed I started sewing.  When I went to bed (at 2 am) this is what I had completed.  Now I just need to get it tied and bound and ready to be shipped off to the Humanitarian Center.  90 x 90 is big!!

What I'm Working On - Sneak Peek

I wrote down a list of all the quilts I have going on in different stages.  Most are just designs with fabric plans in my head, some are on-line groups I have joined, and  a few are in different stages of being completed.  It really helps to have a  list.  I won't tell you how many quilts are listed but I will say it is in double digits.  I know, obsessed much!!  So here is a little peek at two of the newer ones that are being  worked on.  These are making it so that the border on my chubby stars quilt is going to have to wait a week longer :)  

This is a part of my next "Baking" project.  It is going to be Twin sized when it is done.  I am super excited about it, it is looking amazing!! 

I just cut this quilt out this morning.  These are the selvages.  I was going for muted tones in the cool colors all from my stash.   I'm making this for Church Humanitarian needs and it will be 90 x 90 when it is done.  Stay tuned.  

No More Holes :)

I got the holes that I created filled in.  It wasn't that bad but I sure procrastinated it.  I kind of got wrapped up in another quilt.  Unfortunately, piecing those holes didn't sound that fun so it just kept putting it aside.  But now it is done and I am so excited to get this quilt finished up.  I have to make 20 more 4 patches and then just put the border together with the star points I unpick-ed.  Stay tuned for the completed top.  I am toying with the idea of adding a leaf appliqué to each of the large snowball blocks.  What do you think???
