Join us for a Virtual Quilt Weekend
 

I had asked if we were having a Virtual Quilt Day on another thread and there was interest in having one. So hopefully, I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by doing this... But consider this your invitation to join in on Virtual Quilt Weekend. There aren't any rules, work on what you want when you can. Post pictures if possible and let us know what you're working on.

I haven't been able to quilt in over 2 weeks as I've had company so first thing I need to do is figure out where I am on the projects I'm working on!

See you later.....

I'd love to join in. I plan to put the blocks together to finish my honey, honey quilt, make 120 HST'S for a new project, bind a couple of quilts, and get some table mats layered.

I'll join in, as I was planning to work on grandson #3 (grandchild #4) quilt. Had to piece 190+ flying geese, but am through with that and am sewing blocks now. I have 18 out of 48 done, and should get the other 30 done tomorrow. Then comes the laying out so that no like colors touch. Here are the first 8 blocks.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]414035[/ATTACH]I would like to join this. I have a top done that was an ugly fabric challenge and it's still pretty ugly,but I need to practice my FMQ on something bigger than a mug rug and thought this would be a good one to do that with. I plan on getting it sandwiched today and quilt it this weekend. Problem is half of Sat will be eaten up with a meeting I have to attend...we never get out of there until after noon....and then there is the Mariners game, but I'm going to try and get a healthy start on this quilt!

What time are we starting please?

Any time you want to start :)

I just finished quilts for my twin grandaughters..Want to cut out and start a disappearing 9 for my dd...I als[ATTACH=CONFIG]414059[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]414060[/ATTACH]o have a QAYG to finish off for someone- her grandmother started it and passed..so---I get the fun of trying to figure out what direction she was going in and finish it

I feel comfortable to "really" start this quilt for a friend (in exchange for her to do some LA ing for me). I made several blocks from my own scraps before even thinking of cutting into her fabric. I have her fabric washed and starched so can start cutting tomorrow.

Pretty quilt mckwilter. I even like the "ugly" quilt by shadowirish.

I'm joining you now for the weekend. I have a D9P that needs borders and quilting. If I finish that, there's a baby quilt to be quilted, then a postage stamp quilt, then the UFOs.

I will be getting back to my hand quilting this weekend. Unfortunately I do have to do some work at fil's house tomorrow and then there's sil's lawn to mow. I hate spring outdoor work. I will be checking back over the weekend

Woohoo! I got it sandwiched....with Elmers. Will be dry for tomorrow! Had picked out backing material but ended up having to piece it. Used some orphan blocks I had made out of leftovers and learned the perils of bias edges....we will see how it quilts up. Hopefully it will be not too bad.

sounds like we're off to a good start. See you in the am.

Just finished cutting a D9P for a new project..I also have cut the pieces for 2 bow tuck bags, requested by my DD and DGD...matching! I used the smaller size for DD and scaled it down some for GD..Will begin tomorrow cutting the batting for the Bow tucks..See ya'll in the A.M.

I'm looking forward to it! I'll check in with y'all sometime in the morning on Sunday. If it isn't raining I might go for take out breakfast first. I guess I have Saturday to decide what I'm going to work on and maybe figure out how to use my webcam to take a picture of whatever that will be. :)

Hope I can join in. Been alternating between my string blocks and my crumb blocks so hoping to get some more of those finished.

I will have to see if I can join in too.

Good morning! I plan to sandwich two quilts today so I can quilt them next week

Up and back from garage sale!! Went to try to find a wheelchair, for the times my walking is limited, but no success. Now on to cutting the batting for 2 Bow Tucks, and work on them..Also cut the pieces last night fer a D9P..hoping to get work done on that tomorrow..Have company coming tomorrow but should be only for the morning...Then back to work!

Looking forward to seeing more pictures later, hope to get my BOM done for this forum and BOM for aurifil at some point.

Put together some of my string quilt this morning, just have to figure out if I have enough to finish it as a qaug and decide what to use as backing.

I have sat for 3 hours although. It felt like all day undoing 2 blocks I had sandwiched and quilted in order to put new tops on tomorrow. I had used a fancy stitch and it was so difficult even my eyes have had enough.see ya all 2morrow.

Me too. I'm finishing a bow tuck UFO and hope to start covers for my sewing machines.

I will be joining you tomorrow, I will be finish cutting out the fabric for a throw and then hope to piece it all tomorrow, see you all bright and early (hopefully I will get a couple of hours in before you all get up lol)

I cut out the templates For the A, B, C, D, E pieces of the diamonds. I cut the fabric for the A,B,C pieces. Yikes -- that was it for almost 3 hours work. Oh well... It takes what it takes. Will try to do more tomorrow.

Two bow tucks are in progress. cut the batting this morning and got all the way to creating the corners and sewing the liner to the outside..Hoping to be done in the next hour or so....will try to post pics when done..

Just finished the borders on my latest scrappy quilt. I have some ideas on how to quilt it, but haven't decided for sure. Guess I should take a break and sit and stare at it and let my mind wander for a while. Sometimes that gives me ideas! All, enjoy your quilting time this weekend and don't forget the pictures!

Oh my, were we starting TODAY, Saturday? I've been so lazy, thought I had the day off 'til tomorrow, oops:o

I'll gather my things and plan to get down to it in the morning. I love the scrappy quilt in the post above mine!!

Jan in VA, it was start and stop when you wanted! Open door policy :)

I haven't gotten as much done as I wanted. Just haven't been able to get motivated. I did sign up for a quilt class our guild is offering in a couple weeks with Darlene Zimmerman. And I thought about the next projects I want to work on. I started sewing a bow tuck purse this afternoon. I really hope my motivation comes back tomorrow!

Got 2 Bow Tucks done..just need to get buttons...That will make my DD and DGD happy for now. After that sat with my foot up for a while, because it is swollen beyond recognition..(a combination of blood clot issues and meds I have been on since my hospital stay a few days ago) If I get any relief, I want to start piecing a D9P for another DD...

Love the scrappy quilt! Those are my favorites!! Been saving scraps of various sizes to do one!

One done purse size and then one scaled down to a child!

Thank you for the compliments on my scrappy quilt! The pattern is called "Floral Garden Charm" and is available for free on the RJR Fabrics website (www.rjrfabrics.com) under the Free Patterns -> All Patterns pull-down. It's a very easy and straightforward pattern and a great one for using lots of scraps! Enjoy - Boscobd

Ready to stop for the night. Have a family gathering here in the early AM. Will be back by 12 when they all get on the road...Finished the 2 Bow Tucks bags, and assembled the base blocks for a D9P..Tommorrow I hope to recut these blocks and sew the rest of the top together. Then I have some border choices to make...

Now time to finish that or leave for later and cut out number 2.
Come back later.

I did actually join in yesterday (Saturday) even though I thought we were starting today.:o I have 3 more rows of 10 HSTs to sew together then seam the rows. Three sets of rows are seamed in the photo. Once I get the last 3 rows seamed I can put them all together and start adding borders.

have been joined by my quilting buddy so managed to finish cutting out the pieces whilst I waited for my buddy to join me. Had a coffee and ready to start stitiching, QB is going to cut out a block for a giant pin wheel. Will post later hopefully with pics.

I had wanted to work on this yesterday, but ended up spending the day with my DD and GKs. We had a great time. This is a friendship braid quilt I'm making using a jelly roll. Just need to stitch the last group together and then add the borders. Hopefully I will have time to start FMQ on it.

Yay!! I was hoping there's be some kind of extra motivation for me today - I have to baste and start quilting a baby quilt that has to be done by end of May, and another project for a reservist soldier from work - need to sew a sheet to his blanket and kind of "quilt" them together. Getting on them in a minute!! Be watching to see everyone's "stuff"!! And, maybe most importantly, I have cookies for snacking later!! Have fun all!

Sunnie - love the colors you are using in your HST quilt!

Thank you KLGLS, they are my favorite colors and this quilt is for ME!!!

I will be quilting on my Longarm a Grandmother's fan that I started several years ago, and just did not like at the time. I got it out last week and looked it over again. I like it again and hope I can finish it this week.
