Where were we?
I feel like it has been forever since I've sat still and thought about what I'm working on, even though it has only been two weeks. We've been on vacation, started pre-school, and started soccer all in the last couple weeks and I'm just barely starting to get things organized again.

Finishes:
So far I have gotten 3 of 4 items finished for the Goodie Swap, with two weeks left until shipping.
Making Progress:
I am nearly caught up on my Across the Sea quilt, just have to get the front borders on then I can start the back. I haven't decided yet if I will completely follow along with the planned backing or not. I had planned on using Christmas fabrics for this, then changed my mind to using my Hometown Layer Cake, but in the end I decided to make it a bright, multicolored quilt for a child. I was getting a little antsy about getting this quilt done so I could get started on another quilt for Kate's 100 Quilts for Kids, but then I realized that I should just use this one instead. Two birds, meet one stone.
I also decided on my palette for the Dead Simple QAL, just need to get a couple more solids ordered and finalize my plan.
No Progress:
Sadly, no progress has been made on my kaleidoscope quilt. I love this quilt and can't wait to get back to it. I had intended it to be a quilt for Fall, so I really need to get on that, don't I?
As always, a big thanks to Lee of Freshly Pieced for hosting the party!
Love your finishes! That last one that looks sort of like a pinwheel is adorable! Your crosses quilt is going to be beautiful! I know how it feels to have one that kind of got away for a while. I thought I was never going to get back to my charm pack quilt, but it is next on the list of 'to be quilted!'
ReplyDeleteI really like those colour choices for the Dead Simple QAL and that kaleidoscope quilt is really gorgeous. My next project will be for my mum and step dad (when I've finished the 3 I'm working on!!) and I would love to use a pattern like that - do you have any links to the pattern you're using? It looks a little advanced for me but I might give it a shot!
ReplyDeleteLove this! - I reallyyy can't wait to see your dead simple quilt -- any choices for pattern so far?? I'm living vicariously through you on this one! haha
ReplyDeleteI don't remember if I saw this kaleidoscope quilt before, but it is gorgeous! I hope you get a chance to work on it again soon. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are great! Everything is so bright and fresh! The Kaleidoscope is turning out great, I'll be starting one here in the next few weeks too! Thanks for sharing your WIP!
ReplyDeleteNice finishes! Love your cross quilt & its 'dual' purpose. Also looove your kaleidoscope. Nice all around!!
ReplyDeleteOooh I need to put borders on my ATS Quilt. Another on the To Do list. I can't wait for you to get your Dead Simple fabric!!! Will you do a dance like I did??? Hahahhaaa....
ReplyDeleteAll your wip's look great, but I really like the kaleidoscope quilt!
ReplyDeleteI think your QAL quilt would be an amazing quilt for a child, and I love your mug rugs! Your kaleidoscope quilt is incredible and yes, you must finish it for fall!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the ATS QAL. I still have to put the border on mine, and I can't cut the back till I see how it'll work out, as I have 60" wide fabric, not 44", and my top is 3 1/2" smaller all round... (that's my excuse for bumping another couple of projects up, and I'm sticking to it lol)
ReplyDeleteOh it's all looking lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove your crosses and I think your Dead Simple color choices are great. My ATS quilt is on hold...till I can get some room for it by clearing out a few other projects! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour Across the Sea quilt is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove your crosses, so very pretty. Whomever ends up with your lovely quilt will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteyour crosses are beautiful, i love the oranges. the border pulls everything together really well, on all these that i have seen.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are lovely! I think the kaleidoscope is perfect for fall (and winter too).
