8:00 pm update
The Class Act-Baby quilt is finished. I am once again offering my Beginner's Quilting course via our school's Community Education program, so I needed a sample for the Class Act. I didn't include all the borders; this will be donated to Zion Lutheran's baptismal quilts once my class is complete.
7:30 pm -- it was just a wee bit early to hang up my quilting supplies for the day, so I pressed the 4-patches and HST's that I have been sewing as my leaders-n-enders. Do you recall Bonnie Hunter's Jan/Feb '08 article in Quiltmaker? Her Blue Ridge Beauty? I've finally started the leaders-n-enders for that one. Hmmm.....when do I predict the finish? How does June sound? July latest? Let's see....I dug into my magazine pile to find the pattern....it calls for 448 4-patches and 448 HST's. Okay.....I have 42 4-patches completed and 28 HST's.....but who's counting????Happy Saturday!
Looks like a fabulous me day! You got more done than I did...I did a cute tiny little bag for a Valentine's Day swap and am halfway done with a second one. Has the whole day gone? That is ALL I have really done!
ReplyDeletenice work! i love your pinwheel and pineapple blocks. are you going to be assembling that top tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the bottle of wine, I immediately thought that all those pieces drove you to drink . . . but you must remember not to drink and quilt!
ReplyDeleteExcellent days work. I just love bonus squares! What could be more fun than that. When is the next quilt class coming up? It looks like you should be all set.
ReplyDeleteI really like your Class Act-Baby. Is that your own pattern?? I think it would be a fun easy pattern for a Project Linus quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow - That is really great progress. I am impressed!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the time lapse photography! You accomplished a lot!
