There hasn’t been much sewing going on around here the last month! So now I have a month of marathon quilting in front of me. I have 4 quilts that I must finish before I return to Missouri in July. My step mom has been very patiently waiting on me to finish them up.
Here’s what I have to get done…
This one needs a border and quilting.
This one needs to be pieced and quilted.
Only binding left on the next two {who volunteers to bind them for me?????}
Remember the Pink Beast? It’s only ginormous and needs binding!
The vintage pinwheel will be much easier…it’s a lot smaller.
Yesterday, when I should have been quilting, I was playing around with paper piecing again. I think I might finally get it.
I made this cute little pinwheel block
And a little peek of the next one…
This one is only a peek because I have big plans for it. But I will show you all the whole block later…I know you love it when I do that. I wish the purple point was better. I know I know….I am a little OCD when it comes to my points matching. It just drives me crazy when they don’t line up. I almost ripped it out and tried again but I didn’t. I’m trying to let it go.
I must say paper piecing is a messy project. I had a huge pile of scraps from just one block. Notice all my chicken scratch on my paper. I made notes so I wouldn’t get confused. It worked…all the colors ended up in the right place.
Today I must quit obsessing about paper piecing and move on to finishing those quilts. Sigh…I wish I had a binding fairy!
We had a lot of great suggestions for more product reviews~tutorials. I have some ideas but I think I have to get a few of these quilts done first. The next couple of weeks I plan on boring you all with the progress I’m making on these quilts.
I’m off to go quilt…right after my hair appointment. A girl has to get her hair did every now and then!
It seems like you have a lot going on. I love the last two pics of the paper pieced pinwheel. I know that the fabric you used is cotton (well, I am guessing really), but does it have a name/type? The texture looks different to me and I like it.
