Sew Sunshine

It is that time again.   A lovely year of Finishes   over at Fiber of all sorts and Bittersweet Designs. I seriously was not sure if I was going to get to my Finish Challenge for the month. I have been working on those half hexis for a while now and was not sure how I wanted to finish it, if I wanted to make it bigger or what I was doing ...period.  The end of the month was approaching and I was ticking off the list of things I wanted to do this month yet.  The list is long so I decided that it would be better to just DO IT and get it done and have a finish to show for it. I am so glad I did. Here is my green half hexi quilt: Ta Da! Next up is a paper piece project that I am hoping to make into a pillow.  I am not sure I know what I am doing because there are so many pieces but I am willing to give it a go. 

  Work in Progess again. Good thing this keeps me motivated to keep things going. I love that Lee over at  Freshly Pieced  has this link up on Wednesdays! Here is what I am working on.  More Craftsy BOM from 2012......This quilt is making use of 6 of the blocks.  These blocks have a little more brown in them than the previous ones I used up. I think orange and brown with touches of pink will make it look great.  Here is the first one using 9 blocks.  5 blocks to go............stay tuned!

Today I am working on a little table runner project. I picked up a curve ruler from the last time I went to my quilting guild meeting. I have been practically drooling over it since.  A little scared and anxious I might not be able to use it correctly.  Check out the Quick Curve Ruler @  Sew Kind of Wonderful . I made a small table topper and working on two sort of improv mug rugs to match. I think this turned out pretty well so far. Must finish binding and mug rugs and maybe this will be a great raffle item at guild?? will think about that.  Linking up with Lee at  Freshly Pieced  for WIP Wednesday

  Today is WIP over at  Freshly Pieced  and I have been working on a few things.  More progress on last weeks green half-hexi quilt top. I put borders of a sort on but now it looks more traditional so not sure if I like it.  Then onto this weeks  Project Quilting  Challenge. This is the 6th and last challenge. The theme is "Hooray for Spring". I have something in the works but it is only midweek and I might change my mind. My sister in law sent me an article about a man who makes these huge one block wonder quilts. I never thought I wanted to do one but I had some fabric and thought I might try and see what it looked like all kaleidoscopey. Fun that is what it is. We will have to see.  Linking up with  Freshly Pieced

  Linking up with Lee over at  Freshly pieced  for WIP Wednesday.  My progress is slow but it is fun and it is green. Perfect for this time of year.  Last night I did a little more on my half-hexi quilt. I put the strips I had done together and then decided to add another two rows. I still think I need to go bigger but then it is only a matter of time and I will have to turn it because it will be wider than long. hmmmm? not sure what I should do on this. Turning out pretty cool though. :)

I joined in the Linky this week with Lee at  Freshly Pieced   to keep the progress going on some small projects I have. This week I decided to try my luck with a hexi template my mom gave me and see what I could come up with. The verdict is still out but I am working with greens and black/gray and that I love! Stay tuned on that one.  Here is a Make it and Wear it Finish for the month! I cut this top out back in the fall and then set it aside when my mom passed and I hurt my back.  Now it is finished and I am really excited but...gained some weight and hope to lose it before it is nice enough out for me to wear it. :) It is Simplicity pattern 1884. Went together pretty easy and love the silky featherish fabric! Hope I can wear it soon.
