Design Wall Monday

 

On the design wall this week are more of the blocks for O say can you see, along with sewing together all the red/white strips for the American Quilters blocks.

Here is what the finished block will look like after sewing all the strips together.

I have been working with a lot of Red/white/blue fabrics this past month and will be ready for something different when these projects are done.

This week I am on my way to Alaska, so not much will be happening in my sewing room. But, left on my design wall are the first nine of twenty blocks for the American Stitchers Quilt along by Primitive Gatherings. This stitch along was from last year and is one of my UFO's I hope to get back to it when I return next monday from our trip.

Have a great week!

Design Wall Monday

 

Clue 1

Clue #1 for Oh say can you sew was completed and I will be working on Clue 2. My version will be sort of scrappy, but a bit more controlled. I have been able to cut all the units needed with my Accquilt. It sure does speed up the process.

Clue 2

Here is the start of Clue 2, a lot of hourglass units! My goal is to "catch up" before the september clue is released. I will be sewing these, in between finishing up putting my Wedding ring top together. Busy week for me ahead, how about you?

Sunday Stash Report

Still no finishes to report, but no additons either. Flowers for my wedding ring is getting closer. Will be sewing rows, adding the flying geese border and one more mitered border this week. Maybe a finish by next report?

Sandi over at Kwiltnkats, got me thinking about this sew along. Month 5 was just released and I have all the the clues. So thought I might get started on this one. Will be using fabrics from Fat Quarter Liberty Box and agumenting with fabric from my stash. Check back on tomorrow and see if I have made any progress.

Used this week: 0 yards.

Used YTD: 83 yards.

Purchased this week: 0 yards.

Purchased YTD:  75.5 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 7.5 yards.

Enjoy your Sunday!

 Progress is happening! All the blocks are together, boy it was alot of work. This week hope to get the rows together and then the flying geese border and lastly a big outer border that will have applique at a later date. Once the top is together on this one, I will put it away for a bit and start prepping the applique. It may end up on the UFO list for next near! 

On the longarm this week is one of three charity quilts that I will be quilting. Not sure how far I will get.

Hope you have a fun project going for the week!
