One Down ,Two To Go

I have  one quilt back from the quilter and have it bound, too!




Label is on too! Perhaps you can see some of the quilting from the back.

 I have two other tops with quilters made  from that 2 1/2" bin of strips. I finished another top with six block squares just finished yesterday, I have pics to share of progression....




                            I just need to piece a back now.

 I thought since valentine's day is almost here I would sew up a small quilt for "Loving Arms" charity for the occasion.


                                 It's only about 26" square.

 I have also picked a new block to make with 2 1/2" strips and some 3 1/2" squares that I have collected. I think I have about 8 squares sewn up now. This may be a small lap quilt. I'm thinking maybe 90 squares total, about 54"  x  60". The block itself is 6 1/2" unfinished. 6" finished.


This is great sewing weather in Minnesota! Chatter later, Martha.

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.
