WiP...When You Get in a Hurry!

Yeah, when you get in a hurry, things don't always come out the way you think they should. Like this, for instance...

This was my first attempt at a block for Michele's Quilt You Be Mine Mystery Round Robin. I had fun with the Regular Mystery Round Robin so I decided to try this one, even though hubby and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. Yes, I know I screwed it up. But while I was fixing it, I decided I didn't want the pink at all and would go for a GA Bulldogs theme for colors.

So here is the changed one. I used Elizabeth's fab tutorial for it here.

I also got my latest Carpenter Wheel sewn together...

cut out the fabric for the next two Wheels...

and started playing with a layout for my gray, yellow and aqua Granny Squares.

Pretty sure I'm going on point with them. I also did some work on Halloween costumes. I hope to get those done ASAP!

Hope you had a productive week!

WiP...With a Doozy of a Headache!

I am posting quickly because I volunteer at the school library on Wednesday mornings so I've got to go get ready! I started posting it last night but had a horrible headache and ended up on the bed with pillows on my head until I got rid of it. Then I had to wait for the nausea to go away cause it hurt so bad it made me feel sick. Oh joy. So glad that's over with!
If you're looking for my #notgoingtosewingsummit giveaway, check it out here. Otherwise, here goes the weekly progress!

I got my next Carpenter Wheel layout on the carpet. It just needs to be sewn up.

I also am working on the charm layout for the bottom half of my Yule Pop which can be seen here, and I now have 9 gray, aqua, and yellow granny squares which can also be seen here. I know a lot of you went to Sewing Summit. I can't wait to hear more about those trips. What's up at your sewing pad?

WiP Wednesday...Where I'm Back on Track!

So Seussical is over and I've been sewing. I've been trying to get my Carpenter's Wheel quilt done for my bed. This was the quilt I was originally making for my bed. Then I decided to put the Bottled Rainbows on it. Then I washed it. Yeah, dumb move. It shrank just enough that it was a bit too small for my bed. I have a sleigh bed and I need the drop on the sides to be long enough to cover the mattresses. So here is the most recent block.

I'm also contemplating which set up to use for putting them together. I was originally looking at regular side by side...

but now I'm thinking about putting them on point.

What do you think?

I've also got another Double Slice quilt in the works that you can see here. This one was a quilting guild project this weekend.

 

A Whole Lotta Sewing Going On!

Yes, I have actually gotten some sewing done this week so far! Saturday was our Saturday Sewcial for quilting guild and they decided to do the Double Slice Layer Cake Quilt by Missouri Star Quilt Co. Luckily I'd already done this one once before, Mack's quilt. I decided to use up some of my 10" squares I acquired in a rainbow layer cake swap I did not too long ago over at Distant Pickles. It's going to be very bright but I like it. I didn't get mine totally sewn together because I had to come home and trim up the blocks. Unfortunately not everyone's 10" is the same... but that's okay! It all works out in the wash and this quilt is very forgiving.

I'm still working on getting it placed together.
Then there's what's up on my design board. The little bit I've done on a gray, yellow and aqua Granny Square quilt, and what I've done on a Christmas Soda Pop quilt (Yule Pop).

Yes, if you look closely in the middle of the left side you can see my red and white hexie in a pile back there in on the bedside table in the extra bedroom.
Oh, and don't forget the Carpenter's Wheel quilt. I went back on all the squares and removed the print corners, replacing them with white. I had seen a few online and I liked how it gave a bit of a secondary design with the white plus signs. Here they are all draped on my quilt rack.

And here's the one on the floor, ready to be sewn together.

I didn't mean for it to, but I think this quilt is going to end up a little Christmas-ey looking color wise! So I have been working!
