Progress

Our Bedroom Quilts (take 2)


Recent Progress: Top 1 is finished, Top 2 is finished
Yet to do: Make 1 back, baste, quilt, bind,
I have a lead on the second back, so these might be at the dreaded baste point. I have no idea when I'll have a chance to work on something so massive though.

Scrappy X Plus Blocks / Quilt

Recent Progress: -- re ironed after finding it!
Yet to Do: MAKE A BACK! (how did that fall off the list? did I have a plan I've forgotten? I should have been more organized but I had no idea how scattered I would be now) baste, quilt, bind, wash
Actually, I think I found some fabric for the back of this one -- although as I'm thinking on where this one might be headed, I might decide to go with something cozier like fleece after all this time. I had thought this one was a keeper for me, but at the moment, it is on the short list for one of the many babies who will be entering the world this fall/winter... so I might want to warm it up a little bit.

Half-Square Triangle Quilts (Saturated/Black and Muted/Brown)


Recent Progress: Ha, this has looked exactly the same for over 2 years.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the brown one at this point, but there's a 50% chance the black and bold will end up as one of this year's Welcome Baby quilts.
Yet to do: Cut solids (half done), piece tops, make backs, baste, quilt, bind, wash

CQG Joy of Quilting Starburst 2016 Quilt

Recent Progress: finished 1 starburst block
Yet To Do: complete top, make back, baste, quilt, bind
I really want to add another border to this one before I call the top finished, but I don't think I have the time to play around any longer. I made no progress on it at the last meeting because I couldn't decide and I just couldn't bring myself to start in on the next set of blocks if I wasn't certain. I think that no progress might just mean it is time to call this top completed and move on. The back is probably going to be conversation hearts on black, though it'll need a little work to make the yardage fit, so it might get a scrappy little surprise too. Hmm... I have a lot of red or pink options that could work if the black + conversation hearts doesn't, so it's just a matter of sitting down and doing something.

Modern Baby Quilt

Recent Progress: completed top (I think), ordered backing fabric
Yet to Do: all the hard work
This is the one that got my attention at the last meeting (which realistically is the only time I accomplish things anymore). I think I'm going to bind it in one of the coordinating yellow prints (though not the boldest one, simply because I couldn't get it). I don't remember now which fabric I ordered for the backing... so it'll be fun to be surprised when the package gets here! I was hoping for the darkest purple, but I don't think that's what I wound up going with. I think it might be one of the multi color prints. Well, I'll be almost as surprised as you will be once it's here. I think this one should come together really quickly. Quilting wise, I'm thinking simple straight lines (probably echoing the ditch, at least in the center patchwork) with minimal work in a multi color thread in the outer borders. I won't do much, so I don't need to go bold (though I do have that as an option), but I'm not sure I want to go too safe (grey/dark grey/black) either.

Waiting to Start:
  • Possibly: Modern Neutral Baby Quilt
  • Possibly: Arrows/Chevron/Fish Baby Quilt for Baby (identifying letter coming later)
