Design Wall

This week on the design wall will be sewing together the units for Dawbs Early Light. Pinwheels and Triangles are done and will be sewn to the string units made earlier.

Below are 16 blocks that will be put together to make one big block. I will need to make 9 on the big blocks for the center of the quilt and then all the borders. 

This is definately one involved project, but I know I will love the results. Enjoy your week and Happy Sewing!

 Hope you are enjoying your Labor Day! We are spending the day getting ready to leave on a road trip tomorrow to Montana. My Dawns Early light will be coming with me and hope to make some progress on all the units that need to be completed.

Dawn's Early Light- Bonnie Hunter

I hope to get this quilt completed by the end of September, before the next UFO is called. I have 3 more to go for this year.

We will be taking our time, so I hope to hit a few quilt shops on the way. Looking for a couple of backings, and some cat fabrics for Sandi- check out the Cat project she is working on here.

Have a great week!

Sunday Stash Report

Happy Labor day Weekend!

It is a hot weekend here in AZ, with temps reaching around 110. Glad we will be heading out of town on Tuesday for cooler temps!

 I was able to get the Snowflake Mystery finished this week. There were a couple of options for the center block: a sawtooth star block, a ninepatch, or to just leave it a plain block. I opted for the star in the center and added 2.5" strips for the borders. I am calling this one done and I like the way it turned out. The best thing is all the fabrics are from my Stash.

Thank you Sue for hosting this one and I am looking forward to seeing how others in our group finished this one. 

Usage is getting better. Hope to hit 100 yards by the end of the year, and not add too much more to the stash,

Used this week: 7.5 yards

Used YTD: 154.0 yards.

Purchased this week: 0 yards

Purchased YTD:  76.5 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 77.5 yards.

Enjoy your holiday tomorrow!

Design Wall Monday

 Stings and lots of strings this week! Working on all the string blocks for Dawns Early light. Hope to get everything prepped to take along on our trip to Whitefish Montana next week. Will be bringing the Janome on this trip to sew together the units and blocks.

Neutral Strings.

String Blocks

Also on my plate for this week are cutting the rest of the blue half square triangles. This quilt takes a lot of cutting and prep work, but it will be worth it in the end.

Strips ready to cut.

I hope to also find time to finish up the Snowflake Mystery quilt this week. It will be nice to have a finish for the Stash report.

Have a great week!

Lot's of cutting going on this week. I have 500 red/neutral half sqaure triangles for Dawns Early Light, and still need about 140 more.

These are most of the pieces for the friendship star blocks. More cutting to come with 216 blue/neutral half square triangle needed.

Pieces are also cut and ready to sew for the 3rd installment of Snowflake Mystery quilt. Clue 4 will relase on Friday.
