Leftovers

 




I made this from leftover from another large quilt!! I love the brightness. I auditioned several fabrics for the binding and came up with this blue one below.


I sewed it on using my walking foot and it is now ready for some hand-sewing!!!

Have a fabulous week and happy quilting!!!

Charade quilt progress

 


I am working on my blocks for the Charade quilt along. These are the dark blocks. Very bright!!! And below are the medium blocks.


The light blocks are layed out and ready to sew together. Hopefully I will get them done this week and I can then start putting the quilt together. I still have no idea what it is going to look like.
I will share those blocks with you when they are done being sewn together.

This is really a surprise quilt for me, I usually can see the finished quilt in my mind, not this one!!!

Take care and thanks for looking

Charade Quilt Along

Charade Quilt Along is in progress. You can find it in the link!!! This is the quilt, it is so beautiful. I am doing different colors but still debating on them!!! Which is not good as we are in the sewing week, so I need to get my mind made up pronto!!!


So right now I am debating between the choices below. I took the yellow and green out as I did not want to make a rainbow quilt. 




Then I took the gray and black out.




Now the debate is leave the browns in or out????

I think I am overthinking!!!

πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

I have another fabric stack stacked up ready to cut in greens and yellows and wondering if I should switch?
Anyway, hopefully today I can decide and get to the sewing!!!

Have a lovely day and thanks for the visit.
I welcome all comments on the decisions to be made!!!

Distractions are numerous!!!


So this is where I am in my little quilt. Still have a lot of hours left, but it is getting there.


This is what I have been working on mostly, painting and cutting little wooden crosses and doves and tiles for Easter gifts for the class I help teach at church.



I am gluing the tiles to the glass of the frames. 


Hopefully the recipients will enjoy their gifts!!!

I've also been out in the garden and clearing out the pond!!
Lots of things to do these days!!

Take care,
Martha

Whole cloth mini quilt

I started this little quilt several months ago and have finally gotten back to it.



I using three different shades of blue and a very tiny stitch to fill up the background.



Not sure if I am liking the darker blue so time to contemplate my next move!!! I did echo quilting around the butterfly but I don't like it around the corner designs. So ripping that out and will just have to see how I feel about it!!!

Hope you are all well!!
