I have 2 projects going right now. The 1st is Grandmother's Flower Garden using the EPP method - all hand pieced and will be hand quilted. The center is complete and I am starting on the borders. I don't know how big it will be - hopefully queen size. I started this quilt in March when I had to pack up my sewing room because we were moving. This quilt will be for me, it is blue and white, I think I will make pillow shams and dresser scarves to match. I bought the fabric so long ago I don't remember where I got it --- it took all this time to figure out what to do with it.
The 2nd project is actually 2 quilts that I am making for my GDs for Christmas gifts. They are hemmed hexagons (a.k.a. Hickory Nuts) This fabric I purchased a few months ago planning to make the Yellow Brick Road pattern with it. I put one together and hated it ---- so change of plan. LOL. The backing fabric (shell) is the same for both quilts, I'm using 10 different (bright) fabrics for the inside (the nuts) and plan to put the label on the front in one of the hexagons. The labels will have my GD's names on them so they will know which one is theirs. I need about 200 hexagons and have over 100 made. I started this project this week and should finish by next weekend. I needed a break from the GFG project but wanted to do something quick that wouldn't turn into a UFO.
My good old machine that I used to machine quilt broke over the winter. I wanted to buy a good new machine, but our moving expenses took the money I had saved for a machine. I have a basic not-so-hot machine that is ok for piecework so I can do the hemmed hexagons and that way they are already quilted, so problem solved! I see a lot of hemmed hexagon quilts or other quilt as you go projects in my future! LOL.
Thanks for asking --- it was nice to share.
