Battle Axe, positively love the sampler you are working on. I went to Quiltfox design on Etsy (or was it Craftsy??) and could not find it. I did find a sampler BOM but the blocks didn't look the same as what you are working on.

This weekend I am longarming a Toni Whitney Blue Heron wall hanging for a client. I am giving it a trapunto type treatment where I quilt the details in the heron with just the top and batting loaded. Then I trim away all the extra batting and sandwich as normal and quilt in all the background. I completed the trapunto part so now I just have to sandwich and reload.
Then I have another quilt to start marking to get loaded. Practically salivating over this one because I have a very solid game plan for it and can't wait to sink my teeth into it. This is also a client quilt and seems every top I get from her gets my creative juices flowing like crazy. Love working on her tops! Very optimistic I will get it loaded by sunday. As I have Monday off and nothing on my agenda except a vet appointment first thing in the AM, I should be able to quilt all day on Monday. Happy dance!

Finally, I have to finish up piecing a backing for one of my own. Backing isn't the right word as this is a reversible quilt and the "backing" is more complex than the "top" and has taken twice as long. But I will be loading this as the backing so that is why I refer to it as such. All the quilting is going to be dictated by the top as that has a lot of applique. I already have most of it pieced together so only have one long joining seam then borders.

Fun seeing all the pictures, especially the autumn colors, battleax. I will be celebrating an anniversary this weekend but may get some sewing done.

Yay for progress on your projects!

Time Check here to keep me on track with all of you. This is the start of the first 20 blocks. I may add more blocks or wide borders to make up the size. The quilter is still taking quilts for Christmas so I want to get this one to them quickly.

Here is a sneak peek at the fabrics and a little progress. I can already see that some of the blocks are turned the wrong way.

Due to timing issues, I'm not sure if it will become the Disappearing Hourglass.

Keep Stitching!

Sewing but not quilt related, alas. I'm making pleated valances for bedroom windows....and making it up as I go along, so I hope they work.

Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow, have a sinus infection so started antibiotics today. I really want to make more progress on my arrow quilt. Finally got my fabric mostly unpacked and came up with hopefully enough to finish. Did have to go and buy another piece of blue. It doesn’t match all the rest but will do.[ATTACH=CONFIG]603724[/ATTACH]

Love the projects you are working on. The colors are wonderful. I’m hoping to get this lap quilt quilted this weekend. It’s a “see if you’ve forgotten how to piece” project. I was bummed the points are all cut off until I reviewed the pattern. It’s a MSQC Prairie Flower and they’re supposed to be snowballed. I have it on the Little foot frame and plan to try my hand at a pantograph. My cat loves it so we have to keep our fur babies happy.

Beautiful quilts in progress being shared this weekend! I can't see myself getting much sewing time in this weekend, but I'll be watching.

Feline Fanatic, I found the pattern. $12.90 for a download. The picture is not the same as I got in 2015 but it is the same pattern. It is Judit Hajdu and I don't know where she is from. I think there are two Quilt Fox people because the other one called herself Louise and did not remember this pattern at all.

You have to scroll down quilt a bit to get it but just put Autumn Sampler in the search box and it comes up.

I’m in, I was hoping to actually get an entire quilt done, and started cutting everything early this morning but unfortunately after just cutting everything out, I realized that my math was way off, and I only cut enough for half of the 4 patches I needed, and unfortunately I didn’t order enough fabric. So, I ordered the fabric and I hope to at least get 3/4 of it done this weekend. I have not sat at the sewing machine for a few months now, so thanks for hosting VQW, it’s really what the doctor ordered! I will post pictures once I have a few more blocks together, I only managed to get 4 done today.

Oh this is fun. A virtual quilt retreat is a great idea! I will be quilting, of course. But I am in the process of cutting our a quilt that I am going to publish as a pattern. So I want to start getting it sewn up. But I am also working on tons of wild & goosey blocks for a scrap quilt project. I will share pics of my progress tomorrow. I can't wait to see how Battle Axe's sampler turns out....it's beautiful!
