The addiction returns!!!

The day was NOT full of quilting; I was out of the house by 7:45 am and didn't return until 4:30 pm. However, by 6:00 pm, I was heading downstairs after dinner while the girls were relaxing with The Bee Movie.

The outcome -- Pinwheels and Prairie Points top finished (my rename of A Pinwheel Baby quilt, Moda Bake Shop.)


This pattern is AQF!!!!!
ADORABLE and QUICK and FUN!

I did not put binding on Candace's Stars yet, so no "final finish" for June.

However, my goals for tomorrow:
  • Bind Candace's Stars (My FIRST planned July finish)
  • Sandwich, quilt and bind Pinwheels and Prairie Points (My SECOND planned July finish)
  • Finish quilting the middle section of DWR
  • Finish quilting the 2nd Pillow Sham for DWR (My sorta THIRD planned July finish)
  • Sandwich the final section of DWR

    and THEN....if I still have time and if my patience caves, I'll see about tackling the first step of Lynne's Celtic Knot Mystery :0)

    Happy Tuesday!

    A Celtic Knot mystery

    Photo copied from Lynne's blog


    I'm not sure how many of you read emai postings from the Quiltville Yahoo group, but one lady (Lynne) has sent an invite out to the group regarding a Celtic Knot mystery that she is beginning on July 1 (RIGHT around the corner)!
    I have been eyeing up some of her sneaky-peek blocks, and the schedule of the mystery seems do-able; two blocks a week.
    If you are interested, read over what total pieces will be need (Total squares count post), and follow her "label" of celtic knotwork mystery to other posts she's teased us with.
    Lynne threw out the idea to use this as a Leaders-n-Enders project since it's just sewing squares together in a distinct pattern.

    Final size: depends on your size of squares. The overall design is 43x43 squares. She throws some math our way if you want the easy way out and don't want to do your own calculations (read more...)

    I fell in love with the sneaky peek blocks she shared... her choice of greens, purples and black won me over! I never would have used green and purple together! Now to just find the right black....

    Okay, off I go to work on Granny's Stars so I can join in this mystery with less guilt :0)
