Boy am I on a roll this week! I mentioned on the weekend that I designed a quilt in EQ that I had found on someone’s website. Yesterday I spent some time cleaning up my office so I could get back to work. It took me less than 2 hours and I have a completed table topper (about 22″ x 22″). I found a backing today and got it all pinned so I can quilt it tomorrow. I’m just doing straight line quilting, and I’ll put a black binding on it. I really like how it turned out! It used up 41 2.5″ squares that I already had cut up in the bin. I just needed to cut the long black pieces on the sides, which was pretty quick! The pattern shows a 5 x 5 block quilt. I think just one is perfect for a table topper!
Today I spent a couple of hours and finally quilted my table runner (mentioned here) – again just straight line quilting as it didn’t really need anything more than that. I started hand stitching the binding to the back this evening, when I get finished I’ll post all the details on it.
While I had my tub of batting scraps out today I pulled enough batting pieces to fit my Red, White and Blue Signature quilt. So once I get these 2 quilts done I can work on quilting the signature quilt. It will most likely be straight line quilting too, just because it’s easy and quick!
Alex and I stopped at Joann’s today, I needed to pick up a frame for the wedding gift I finished over the weekend. They have a big sale going on this week and I picked up some fat quarters, a yard or so of white Kona and just over a yard of Cars fabric for a quilt for Alex. Don’t know what design I’ll use yet, but I do have some ideas rolling around in my head. I want to get some of these other projects done before I start making this new one for him.
Looks like this baby wants mama to go to sleep, I never got a nap today and I’m getting to the point that I just can’t keep my eyes open!
