The B Side

4 Replies

I suffer a little from Quilting ADHD… I really do. As I mentioned before I really like working on the tops and then I typically loose interest. So this week, I have refocused on getting some of my backs (the B Side) finished so I can get to the quilting stage.

The second of the two backs are underway…it is the one for my Jungle Ave Tapa Quilt. Not overly complicated….I am using the ladder design also on the back with the fantastic elephant print. I love this print.

Also, I have finished the top and back (the second of the B sides this week) for the Cherie Quilt…which is going to be named “Cheri d’amour”. Here is a sneak peak…tutorial is on its way.

If anyone, has recommendations for a quilter, I am going to send at least one of these two quilts out for quilting (60 x 60″ or 60 x 70″). I have ideas for the Cheri d’Amour quilt but am struggling to come up with something for the Jungle Ave Tapa (design is here)…quilting suggestions are also welcome.

This week, I am trying to be super diligent in focusing on only two projects:

  • Cherie Quilt top is in the process of being pieced
    CherieQuilt_unfinished
  • Phased Circles Quilt is being quilted.
    Phased Circles Outside

I say this as I am thinking of about 3 other projects I could be starting but not on my list for this month ;-).

My updated list for this month, does not have anything new but for some reason feels a little daunting….probably due to the fact 3 of these quilts are 60″ x 60″ or bigger.

I have another finish to celebrate today….it is the “Mod Squares”. The design and tutorial can be found over at Sew Mama Sew. It is my new Fall/Autumn lap sized quilt, that I will be using for my sofa using low-volumes, neutrals and Indelible prints. My favorite part….I have a couple of stripes of some FMQ!!Mod_Squares_Finished_800

The rest of my projects, are coming along nicely too.  This list and deadlines have been keeping me on top of things for once, SUCCESS!!

I am on a last-minute vacation in the mountains this week. I am, however, trying to focus on the Cherie quilt top, now that two of the other quilts are complete. I managed to cut out all 182 pieces…I think that is the first time I cut out all the pieces (more or less) before starting the actual quilt. I usually cut, sew and then repeat.

So, now onto piecing all of these…my favorite part. Linking up with Lee over @ Freshly Pieced for WiP Wednesday (see button on the right).
