A little progress

 Finally felt a little motivated to work on my large ongoing projects and put together the other centre piece for the Vignette quilt. I have decided to just do little bits at a time but try and work on each UFO at least a little each month. Eventually they should then get finished. I feel quite motivated to start the applique now!

Very exciting to see some tops all done! Well done girls. I might get there ONE day.

Flimsy Finished

 

I have a Finished Quilt Top - Flimsy

 

 

Next bit, a little hand quilting

 

but first I need to decide if I am using the leftovers to piece a back?

 

There are a few more pictures over on my blog

Not going to happen!

I had high hopes of getting this quilted in 2012 so that was the date I embroidered but I've realized there is really no way that is going to happen.  :)

Last night - I unsewed '2012' and made it 2013.  I'll work on getting the back prepared later this month and be ready to dive into the quilting next year.

More Cutting this Week for Me

I'm trying to do a little each week, so this week I got cutting again. There are loads of little squares for shoo fly blocks, waiting patiently to be stitched together.

 This is where I am at with cutting the 92 2inch squares from 23 different fabrics for the centre border. I have 17 fabric sets left to cut.

 And my cutting and fabric piles at the end of this weekend's cutting. I now have the 17 sets of 2inch blocks mentioned above to cut and the shoo-fly block pieces for Block 13. Then all my cutting is completed.
Maybe next week something will touch the sewing machine :D

Thank you for all the kind comments last week, they really helped to keep me motivated!

Bringing up the Rear...

I'm not sure how many of you are still out there who as far behind the frontrunners as I am :)
I have been very inspired again recently by attending the Adelaide Craft and Quilt Show; receiving my copies of issue 7 and issue 8 from Perri and reading the latest posts from Sharon, Sylvia and Sybil.

I had to revisit things to see just where I was up to so...
Blocks 1, 2, 3 are done, I have to add the shoofly blocks to blocks 4,5 and 9 but the stitchery is done - Oh and I haven't touched the little heart applique's yet.

But I did a lot of cutting and got my zip lock bags for each block to go from this

To this...

I think that I will do all the cutting first now that I have all the issues then get back to piecing and stitching and eventually try the applique!
Anyone else out there?

Home Stretch

 

I have started the last panel.

 

I am on the home stretch and it feels

so good to be so close to a finish.

Final border section is finished

I went off on a tangent for my last border section!  You can read more about it on my blog at

I've spent the week sewing the last section to the first 12 blocks and doing the joining embroidery work.  It won't be long before I start thinking about how I'm going to quilt it.
