Moving Right Along

Posted in Quilting by

In February I posted my Quilty Project Lineup. Here it is in a nutshell along w/my progress.

  1. Barter Project Finished!
  2. Baby Girl Quilt Finished!
  3. Charity Quilt Finished!
  4. Scrappy Trips It’s a Flimsy!
  5. Baby Boy Quilt Finished!
  6. Quilt Meadowland
  7. Piece Patriotic A Tribute to Yoda

First things first, Scrappy Trips. I’ve actually started calling it my Everything Goes Scrappy Trips. Here are pics of 4 of the quadrants.


I didn’t stop there though. I have a king size bed and I want my quilt wider than longer (more drop on sides, because I don’t ever make my bed where the pillows are covered, I just throw the pillows on top). The blocks are 12″ but 8 x 8 (96″ square) wouldn’t work, so I jumped up to 10 x 8 (120″ x 96″). But that was a bit, A LOT overzealous of me because it made the sides WAY too long!

I removed a row of blocks off the longer side and now it’s 9 x 8 (108″ x 96′) and I like it much better. I’m not sure when I will quilt it but I’m ecstatic the top is done!

And then I finished baby boy’s quilt. He’s due in July so I am way ahead of schedule on this project. I wanted it to be a surprise but I inadvertently sent this pic to my niece (instead of my sis) so she already knows what it looks like. But oh well, she loves it. It’s going to look even better after I wash it!

I guess that means I have to start quilting Meadowland and then work up the nerve to quilt my behemoth, Everything Goes Scrappy Trips! But first I think I might make a couple more scrappy trips. Since I started quilting in 2011 I can’t ever remember wanting to immediately make another of the quilt I just finished. But I immensely enjoyed making scrappy trips!

Thanks for stopping by. I’m sure you all are keeping busy too. Stay well, happy stitchin’, and God bless.

Is it too soon to say this year is flying by? Because it is! And I’m keeping up w/it, making steady progress on my Quilty Project Lineup!

First things first, the barter. I love the barter system!

I got this stunning new wreath…

in exchange for these 2 pillow shams and sweetheart pillow. It goes so well w/the other room decor.

I finished baby girl’s quilt. She should be making her debut any day now.

This Quilts Beyond Borders charity quilt has been sent off and my name has been put in the hat for a monthly drawing.

Even though my great niece’s b-day isn’t until the end of April, I couldn’t wait any longer to send this to her. Look at her smile!

Oh! AND baby boy’s quilt is already a flimsy! I really enjoyed working w/Tumblers. They go together so quickly!

Scrappy Trips progress isn’t looking too shabby either. I made 32 more strip sets.

AND…I turned 2 orphan blocks into placemats and made block #4 of the Build-A-Quilt by Quilting Is My Therapy.

I’ve been very productive!

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time. Stay healthy, Happy Stitchin’, and God Bless!
