This week I have a finish! The Blue Trees Quilt, which is also my August UFO, is finished and now in the quilting que. Now, I will get back to the July UFO, which is still waiting for me. I did have a couple of purchases this week- needed a few more blues to finish up the Blue Trees, and also found a great neutral for a future project.

All in all the numbers are not too terrible.

Used this week:13.0 yards
Used YTD: 195.25 yards.
Purchased this week: 5 yards
Purchased YTD: 62.0 yards.
Net fabric used in 2011:133.25 yards.

Have a great week!

This week I am finally getting to my August UFO. It is called Blue Trees. I thought this one would be a nice to have hanging on the wall in January and February, as it is not so holiday looking. What do your think? 

This one should go pretty fast as I already have the trees and pieces cut out for the blocks, just need some undisturbed time at the sewing machine to get it all together. Hope to post my progress later this week.

Have a great week!

Happy Monday to All!

This week I will be helping Sandi to put together the San Diego Humane Society Quilt. Below is the block that I am working on. All the pinwheel centers are finished, just need to do the outer flying geese to finish this up. There are 36 of these blocks and they finish at 4 inches. Yes, very small blocks!

What are you working on this week?

Design Wall Monday July 25, 2011

This week along with trying to find time to work on my July UFO, I have the quilt below on my wall. It is called What goes Around and was started in the class taken at Quilt in a Day.  I have a few more blocks to put together and then will sew all the rows together. I have a couple of different borders in mind and will make a choice once the top is together.

This was a fun project and did go together very fast. Looking forward to finishing this up by the end of the month.
