Virtual Quilt Weekend--9/12 to 9/14 Edition
#22
Quilted and bound a UFO today--I'll try to get a picture tomorrow. Will work on my coin quilt and maybe finish tying my stepson' s wagga tomorrow. I got my son's quilt sandwiched yesterday--how did it get so big?
I might start quilting it Sunday--it's going to take a lot of wrestling!

I have 5 quilts that I have made from the "Cut to the Quick" pattern and I am at the progress of pinning, sandwiching and creating binding, sewing it on and then hand sewing the binding. Here is picture #1 - hope to get this one finished this evening and then get #2 going tomorrow. I made the binding for the other 3 today and pinned #3. Will finish pinning the sandwiches and pinning on the binding of the other 2. They all are about 54" x 68". Whew.

Donac....do you have a pattern to share for the needle cases - or a photo? Would love to see how you're doing them.
Working on my quilt - keep having to take breaks to rest my hands. Lots of great things being talked about here !!

Well, I'm done for the night. I finished 2 presents this afternoon. A chalkboard thing for my 5 year old niece and a cupcake purse for her also. And I did an autumn panel wall hanging for us. Everything is packed for the Sew-In tomorrow. I have several tops to work on; hopefully I'll get a couple pieced at least. They're pretty simple patterns. I'll pop in in the am before I leave to see what everyone has been up to.
quilt addict--I wouldn't want to quilt in 100 degree weather either!

I am sorting through a donation of fabric and arts/crafts supplies so I can deliver it tomorrow to a charity. I'm having lots of fun looking at and feeling the different prints/textures. I hope to get some sewing done on Sunday.

Tapper, I really like the green sashing, it really makes the block I think. The white is nice too-- I think the green just feels warmer to me.
Sewnoma-- can't wait to see your finished quilt, I love the blue and brown.
SewExtremeSeams-- those mugrugs are great!
QuiltingHaven, Love what you've done there! Esp the striped border.
So, here's what I've been up to today:

This is the Halloween quilt. I'm having a really hard time with it. It's WAY too busy for my taste-- how was this lost on me when I decided to use all of these fabrics together?!? I had planned on more quilting for the chevrons but have since decided to just SITD. Which I'm terrible at. And it's not making me love this quilt more! The thing is, my son helped me lay out the blocks. Otherwise I would just pull it off the frame and move on. I just love the feeling I had when he surprised me by wanting to help. So I'll finish it and hopefully that's what I'll remember about this one. :-P I have another whole top that I made with the remainder of the fabrics that didn't find a place in this one. Definitely waiting til next year to quilt that one.
Here's the D9P. I have so many other projects to finish before Christmas, I really have no business working on this but I needed something I could enjoy for a few minutes.

Heading out now to run errands. Not sure if I'll make it back to the sewing room this evening.

Sweet! I'm finishing up a simple quilt for a client, but then hope to make some good progress on my flowers & ladybugs quilt. Plus, I've had my niece's quilt finished for a bit, but they're finally coming up north this weekend & I get to deliver it to her (she just turned one!).

Quilting Haven...love your color choices, especially the white dotted background.
AllyStitches.. I like your Halloween quilt although I know what you mean by it being too busy.
I did a similar type for my nephew...using a sports theme.
I didn't like piecing and joining the blocks but it was one of my favorites once the quilting was done on it.
