I missed the return to WiP last week but I'm back this week!
Just in case you don't follow me, I have two European twin sized quilts I've just started working on (brother and sister) and I'm this far on the girl quilt. It's being done in Kona bleached white and Dogwood Trails.
I also just noted yesterday that I have just finished pinning my Embroidery 101 quilt and it is ready to be quilted. Hopefully I can squeeze it in and get it done this week.
But what did I go and do last night? Hmmm.... well,... I really need a quilt for my bed..., and I really just wanted to see how it was going to look..., and it's really just a promise to myself that I will make it eventually in the next several months so,...
It's technically not even sewn together yet so it doesn't really even count, right? It's a Carpenter's Wheel I found on Quilter's Cache and the fabric is a half yard bundle of Heather Mulder Peterson's Artful Home I won off Ryan Walsh's site way back in June. I've been looking for something to make with it and I think I found it. Here is a reminder of the fabrics (I found it at an LQS and added some of the lime green prints).

I just fell in love with your carpenters wheel block! I may have to come and steal it! LOL
Your embroidery 101 is lovely :-)
Tee hee- I started something new when I shouldn't have as well. :) The carpenter's wheel is beautiful! I'm excited to see a whole quilt with those babies!
Your carpenters wheel block is just stunning! Totally worth it, in terms of blowing a resolution!
Resolutions are like strawberries...they should be eaten with chocolate! lol
The Carpenter's Wheel is amazing. I'm thinking it needs sewn up immediately!
Well, isn't the point about quilting is to have fun? Sew have fun and quilt what you want!!! Love that new block!
loving the carpenter's wheel block! i feel like i need to make some of them. they're quite similar to swoon but a bit different and I like that!
Carpenter's Wheel is an awesome block and those are some fabulous colors! It is so eye catching! Great progress and yes, we will let the CW block slide since it isn't actually pieced together!
I really like your carpenter's wheel!
My Embroidery 101 quilt is in the same state! Maybe we can both get them finished up. I'll race you?
I. Love. That. Carpenter's WHeel! So pretty! But how many hst are in that? The fabrics are gorgeous!! Way to go, girly!
That Carpenter's Wheel is stunning! I see why you couldn't resist the temptation... of course, then I'd want to sew all the pieces together so I didn't risk losing them...
I also really love that artful home collection, and good luck on those twin quilts!
Love your carpenter's block and love your fabrics - that is going to be an amazing quilt!!
LOVE your fabrics for your quilt. It's nice to treat yourself to something every once in a while! You deserve it!
Love the aqua/green combo. the quilt is going to be yummy! i'd have a hard time resisting the urge to play with them too;)

I think that Carpenter's Wheel is great! When the creative urge strikes, it is always best to go with it!
I think that will be a really pretty quilt, those are great fabrics that you chose. look forward to seeing how it goes,
great looking projects. love the colours
Love that carpenters wheel!! I finally started embroidering my embroidery 101 quilt, so seeing yours get finished will probably help motivate me :)
Lovely Carpenter's Wheel! The blue and green play so nicely together and the white background makes them pop! The quilt is going to be beautiful.
I love the carpenter's wheel block and your color choices are fantastic. I was just thinking I it's similar to Swoon and would compliment a pillow that I'm thinking of making.
Visiting from Freshly Pieced -- I love your un-sewn block. The lime green is a perfect addition. I cannot wait to see the finished product! (After you complete your other projects. ;-) )
