I am sure we have all had those weeks. You know when you have no idea when you will get back to your hobbies (i.e. quilting) or blogging. That has been my last month at work.
Good news though, I was able to go on our Modern Quilt Guild’s retreat this weekend, jump starting a couple of projects. It was great to spend time with friends and so many great projects were created/worked on!!
One of my biggest successes this weekend, was I finally started quilting Phased Circles, choosing matchstick quilting. I love how the first block has turned out, however I could be in trouble for finishing this up Nov 30th for quiltcon….the one block took at least 12 hours….5 more to go.

The other project I have made progress on over the last week is my next Sew Mama Sew Project, which is a circular project. I am thinking of changing up the standard circular quilting and creating a maze quilt pattern such as this:

The matchstick quilting looks great, and I really love the maze idea! Good luck getting Phased Circles done in time for the QuiltCon deadline!
That maze pattern looks like a bear to quilt but SO awesome. Great idea!
amazing matchstick quilting 🙂
12 hours! Oh man that is quite a time commitment, though the results are pretty cool!
That quilting 😍😍😍
That’s some crazycakes time commitment for quilting that quilt…. but it’s going to be AMAZING when it’s finished.
