Project Quilting 9.2 Triangulation or something close


After the post I wrote about "just doing" something I was motivated to participate in this weeks Project Quilting 9.2 Challenge at Persimon Dreams. It is nothing to write home to mother about but I want to use some things I have. I found a new package of the Tri-Recs rulers and grabbed a bunch of fabric and Ta-Da!



The challenge was called Triangulation.  So Triangles I did!!
This is approx 39" x 48" which is a great size for a local chapter of Quilts for Kids to accept. Two birds with one stone as they say. 


Simple quilting lines with red violet thread and done. Machine binding went pretty quick. 


I think I should have done more quilting but I washed it already and I like how soft it is. I am sure some little girl that is sick and spending time in a hospital will snuggle with it just fine. 

I intended to get outside and take some kind of fun picture with this newly finished piece but alas.....I have some hot moist heat on my knees right now for some therapy I am trying so it is what it is. Let it go...just do it...Make something!  so yup, I tried. It is all good. 

Linking up with Crazy mom Quilts finish it up friday HERE

So very pretty! It's simple, but so enjoyable to look at and admire! A lucky child will certainly be comforted by it. Bless you (and your knee)!

I like what you did with the color band moving across and down the quilt. It seems to me that you added JUST the right amount of quilting for the purpose! Well done.

Project Quilting Season 5 - #1

Image
  So excited that Kim over at  Persimon Dreams is hosting Project Quilting again this year. It was so fun last year and I accomplished a lot.  This year I had so many ideas for this first Challenge. I wanted to do something more arty but when it came down to it I really need to make lap or baby size quilts for some of the charities I contribute to. I am sure I will do something more artsy before the challenge is over but for today I am going with a version of a scrap quilt.  The Challenge is "String Along with Me" I used the same strip quilt as you go as I did in a quilt I made last Oct following Maureen Cracknell and her Herringbone QAYG quilt tutorial.  This was is called Scrappy II  it is 43 x 45. All scrap strings, scrap batting pieces and scrap binding. It might not be very creative but my scrap box is looking so much better!  (notice the fun fabric I found for the back...lovely dotty diamonds!) Simple quilting since each st...

Mountain High, Valley Low - The improv triangle QAL

Image
"Mountain High, Valley Low"  48" x 38" improv from scraps line quilting in diamond pattern The improv triangle QAL with Nicholas Ball on IG was so much fun. It was just the most glorious distraction for me. I was able to sit down and make a few blocks at a time and didn't have to worry about measurements and sizes. It was just what I needed during my waiting game with my health issues.  The back piece was something I hand dyed a while back. I think it worked pretty great for this back with a few leftover blocks. I had several versions going and of course didn't think it was going to end up so big but it was just so fun to work on.  Luckily I had just the right aurifil thread. I ended up using most of the lighter ones which were a mix of 50 and 40 weight.  It took a long time to figure out what I wanted to quilt across all those colors. I asked my husband what he saw when he looked at this piece and he said points...

WIP - End of Summer

Image
The weather lately means it is the end of summer. I still think my new quilt block quilt is pretty sizzling hot!  I love this block and how it came together. So far I added the corner stones and surrounding half stones. I really don't think I want a border on this but will use the orange or yellow for binding maybe. Still deciding. No idea how I am going to quilt around those jagged blocks yet either. Any ideas?  I have the back pieced and should try to get to it yet this week. Linking up with WIP Wed. @ Freshly Pieced and Let's Bee Social @ Sew Fresh Quilts and Needle and Thread Thursdays @ My Quilt Infatuation and I am the Participant Highlight today for A Lovely Year of Finishes @ SewBitterSweetDesigns and Fiber of All Sorts   yippee...go check it out!

Around the Block Party!

Image
"Around the Block" party finish this week. 40 "x 40" approx.  My last week was so productive that I only have a small finish so far this week.  My lqg got together one afternoon to make improv house blocks. It was so much fun that I made a whole block party of them.  I was trying out an idea for a color challenge using a paint chip that has 3 colors. This one had an amber orange color, a chocolate brown and an aqua. I sort of mixed in some gold too but it was fun trying out a color scheme like this and I think it would be fun guild project.  I love how they turned out and and it has started some talk about doing some outreach work for Habitat for Humanity homes. These would be great to do and each house adds a bit of whimsy.  Linking up with Let's bee social @  Sew Fresh Quilts and NTT @  My Quilt Infatuation and Amanda Jean @  Crazy Mom Quilts  and Show off Saturday with  Sew Can She
