WIP#19

Hello. Today I am linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced.
 I have way more projects going on than I have photographed,plus some are for gifts so I better keep under wraps.
First I have seen these little baskets all over the internet and finally decided to make a few. I found the tutorial at Pink Penguin. They are so cute and easy to make.

I have  been seeing the puddle jumping quilt by Camille Roskelly in Instagram and just had to use up some of hoarded Valentines Day fabrics for it.

This block is going a lot faster than my lone star of paradise, which has been packed away until after the holiday sewing and events... too many pieces to risk getting lost in the shuffle.

 Thank you for stopping by, have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

Works in Progress

Hello! I must say I have quite a few works in progress. I see so many projects on Instagram and Pinterest
that I just have to start new quilts. Slowly but surely I am working them to finished stage.
First up I had to start a rolling diamond quilt.

All that lacks are the final borders.

Next I just had to to try a hexagon star quilt using 60' triangle method.

I am loving this method. so much easier than sewing triangles onto the hexies.

After seeing all the random star quilts, I just had to pull out some squares I had cut for another quilt 5 years ago.. YES!! 5 years these squares were waiting to be sewn back together.

And last but not least, I have been in love with the giant churn dash block. I found the block on Moda Size Matters Blog Hop. 

This block is bigger than my sewing machine! I am really liking the idea of getting a baby quilt done in a few hours.

 I am delighted to know I am not the only one with more than 1 W.I.P. If you hop over to freshlypieced. There are many more great projects in the works. Thank you for visiting. Amy

Lazy Monday

Today is dreary and slow. I have been wanting to try a kaleidoscope and today seemed like the day to try. While the grand baby was napping I got to cutting and piecing. When my grand daughter woke up from her nap saying "pretty Staws-stars" ... I think this will be her throw quilt.

Thank you for stopping by,Amy

March Wip's

Good day! I know this is April, but I am finishing up WIP's for March. I am linking up at Freshly Pieced. I have found a lot of inspiration from the projects the ladies have going on. Plus it helps me realize I am not the only one with more than 3-8 projects going at once.
 I must tell you the last few weeks I have been sucked in by triangles and hexagons. The best way for me to try out something new is a baby quilt. The first quilt is my half hexagons done out of 2.5" strips. One of my daughter's friends is expecting and will find out today if boy or girl, If she is having a girl she will get this..

I decided to make another triangle quilt. This time I pulled a good bit of my Easter fabrics and pastels.

My daughters are fabric enablers.. I took one of my daughters with me to LQS and she picked these fabrics for a second quilt for herself.

I am also working on another hexagon quilt. The pattern is Natures Gem on Moda Bake Shop.

Thank you for stopping by. And stop over and see some great WIP's. have a great day! Amy

Straight Line Quilting

I have decided it is time to get this quilted. I started it last year and left it sitting to get other things done. I was trying the one seam flying geese tutorial.

I can not wait to wash it and get it all crinkly. All I have left to do is the binding,which will probably be tomorrow.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a  great weekend.Amy

WIP#13

Today I am linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced. I am working on 2 hexagon quilts. For some reason I am addicted to 60' triangles and hexagons.

I am also planning a triangle quilt for a little boy.

I have been seeing all the triangle quilts and just love the simple piecing of them. I have also managed to get 2 borders on my Vintage Modern quilt.

Thank you for stopping by. Happy stitching,Amy

I am also working slowly on my hexagon quilt.
