I have been flat out at work this week, with the goal of finishing everything so that I can enjoy our vacation next week.
I have managed to make some progress on the scrap-bee-licious blocks, finishing up this star block.
I have also finished all the pieces for one of the flying triangle blocks as well.
Only 3 more to go. I am linking up with Amanda Jean over at Crazy Mom Quilts.
Go over and check out Spoonflower’s blog today, as the 2nd block tutorial for my sample quilt has been posted. It covers methods for Half Square Triangles and pressing seam tips.
What do you take on vacation with you?? I am not really a beach person though the rest of my family are, so I always try to take my sewing with me.
So next week, we are off to the beach for the week….and I am taking with me a few of my WiPs. This week, is all about getting packed and preparing the projects.
First up, Phased Circles: Background fabric selected
The plan is to balance the color, so I am using Kona Pepper, with black, white and grey Carolyn Friedlander fabrics.
Project 2: Spoonflower Class – Row 3 blocks, plan is to finish row 3 and minimally finish the quilt top.
Last night, I spent some time cutting out all the pieces of that 3rd row.
Project 3: Jungle Ave Quilt. Fabrics arrived and are beautiful, so I will start to plan and cut the quilt top.
Project 4: Of course, you need to keep a 4 1/2 hour drive interesting…so you guessed, it the hexagon quilt is coming with us.
So, that is my plan for next week…the rest of the week is prepping and cutting. Linking up with Lee over at Freshly Pieced for WiP Wednesday.
