Sew Sunshine

UFO no more! I went looking in my stash for fabric for a backing for a quilt I am working on between Project Quilting. I saw an odd print in a bag and thought it has some different colors in it..I sat looking at it then thought wonder if it would go with a quilt top I made .........um, in 2014 HERE  as a QAL for Sharon  @Colorgirl quilts   I completed the quilt top back then and promptly folded it up and put away. It has lots of bias pieces and probably one of my first serious attempts at sewing lots of curves. All in all it was not too bad. The borders of Kaffe scraps was fun to do but a bit tricky to sew a curve onto.  I'm really going to call it 'Winners Circle' even though the pattern is Polka Dot Bikini. I really felt like a winner today sewing on the label. I mean 9 years in the making!! Woohoo Approx. 64" x 64" simple cross grid quilting I am so happy that I took the moment and just finished this little one. I hope you feel like a winner with whatever you a...

WIP Wed already. I was such a slug over the weekend and now the week is flying. Making some progress anyway so linking up with Freshly Pieced WIP Wed HERE   Two corner stones for the bottom went together really well.  Two cornerstones attached to the first two rows ...done!!! I am so happy I figured out what I was doing wrong and have made some progress. I have one seam I am not happy about how it lined up in one spot but I am making progress. I love the KF fabrics around the outside in this scrappy way. This is progress for the Polka Dot Bikini QAL I am doing over at Fabrics and Flowers HERE . Now if I can just make some progress on my hormone balance I would be really happy! :) Also linking up with Let's BEE Social  HERE

Slow and steady....  I have worked a little bit on my Polka Dot Bikini QAL. I made half of all the surrounding blocks (20 blocks) and now need to make the scrappy blocks together so that I can cut them in a curve and sew on my finished part. whew! Lots of piecing and curves for me. It is starting to come together and I think all the scraps will be Kaffe Fassett fabric scraps. I have truly been hitting my stash piles this year. Woop Woop!     The 16 center blocks were finished last week I just have not put them together. Waiting for any adjustments I might need.  And because it is not enough to have at least 3 other projects in the works on my table, I decided to tackle an idea for these color scraps.   Most are less than 3/4ths of an inch wide. I have an idea I think I want to do with the rainbow colors and gray. Giving it a go. The scraps came from some gals that were at my guilds sew day. The use of these in something is a challenge so w...

Here it is, Feb 20th and the goal was to have quite a few blocks done on the Polka Dot Bikini QAL with Sharon @Colorgirl Quilts. Adding cornerstones on the 16 center blocks. Not sure of my color choices yet but I am going with it for a bit to see how it plays out in the outer border pieces and little squares which will be more Kaffe prints. (I think) This is a lot of curve piecing and I was skeptical about doing it. I bought the pattern back when Sharon posted it for sale on Craftsy. I just wanted to have it. The thing about having and then doing it are clearly two different things in my book. I wanted to have something to show for it. I pushed to get this caught up in the last two days.  What is funny is for some reason I have two other quilt projects in the works already this week. Sometimes it just gets crazy and you get a lot done. Sometimes not! This time I am and glad to be progressing this far. Linking up with Kelly @myquiltinfatuation  for Needle and th...
