Just finished it up!

Clearly my obsession with exploration of wonky log cabins & white space continues!

I never tire of this color combo.

First off, thanks so much for all of your comments and kindness about my Hexagon quilt top!! Makes me so happy to hear that others like what I’m up to!

My mom’s been in town and it’s not very sociable to sit in front of your sewing machine all day, is it? As a result I’ve only worked on it a bit more and am about half way through quilting it.

At first I wasn’t sure if I was improving or ruining my quilt top – but when you take a step back and look at the big picture, this “pebble” quilting is great.  Hope to have more to show you in a couple of days!

I said I was gonna dive back into the red & aqua quilt but I couldn’t bring myself to sew another wonky log cabin block.  I know! I was shocked too!  I’ve actually hit my limit.  I’m sure not for long – I’m certain to be back to my beloved soon enough but meanwhile I’ve been seeing these half hex quilts all over the place and I’ve been wanting to futz with one.

I struggle with finding most traditional quilt patterns too “old fashion-y”, but that’s part of the challenge right?  How do you take something tradition and modern it up?  That sentiment, plus my love of white space led me to this!

I technically did it “wrong.” The rows of hexs are not matched up, but I like the look.  It was fun to mess with all those little cut out peices until I found the layout I liked best.

You can find the info to get the template here.

I’m really excited to get quilting on this one.  I think I’m gonna try something new!  Can you tell I’m trying to break out of my stippled log cabin quilt rut??

Have a great weekend everyone!

Put together this little baby boy quilt top based on Denyse Schmidt’s What a Bunch of Squares quilt. It’s a gift for family friends.

Fun to be working with a small quilt again after my bigger Block Party one.  Speaking of, I’m mere stitches on the binding away from finishing it!  Can’t wait for you to all see it done!

Been working on these blocks for a long time and they are finally all done and sashed in my usual white.

I’m excited to see this one come together. I’ll hopefully make real progress this weekend!

Recently got some of these Jay McCarroll birds.   Don’t know why I hadn’t bought any before.  They are so weird and I love them.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I’ve been quilting…

…and stitching.

It has felt so great to be working on a quilt again – just a bit more binding stitching and it’s going to be all done.

Meanwhile, can you believe it’s already June?? I can’t! Happy June to all of you!

Finally! I’ve so missed blogging and sewing and all of you! Between the work trip and the job in general, I’ve not had a second to sit in front my sewing machine in almost three weeks. But this weekend we were reunited!

I have other projects going that I should have worked on, but I allowed myself to just have fun. I made some super girly quilt blocks.

And it lead to a girly baby quilt top!

Can’t wait to make the back, get it sandwiched, and quilt it. Oh it’s been so long since I’ve finished a quilt!!
