WIP Wednesday

I've been gone for over a week, so I figured that I'd better get to work so that I have something worth showing.  I think I sorta made it.  I had last evening and today to make progress, and progress was made.

While I was in the hotel I did some hand sewing:


I haven't finished sewing it together, but the plan is to applique that baby to a pillow, kind of like this one. The grey is the same fabric I used to make curtains so it's supposed to match.  I don't even know how to go about appliqueing (spelling??) this on because of the whole paper piecing thing.  Either way, it may take a while to get there!

I finished piecing together my snapshot quilt top.  Surprisingly (not), if you're a little off piecing together pieces at the start, it only gets worse and worse throughout.  However, altogether you can't tell too bad.  I hope.



It's nice to get this one together--I wasn't really sure how it would turn out, but I do really like it.  However, soooo much ironing.  So much.

I made some weird little coasters that I'm going to try some different quilting techniques on.  Eventually.


And, last but not least, I finished the cutting for my Starry Eyed Christmas quilt, and started piecing.

That is Countdown to Christmas by Sweetwater
I did nothing with my accidental baby quilt, and have several plans that are in my mind only.  Sorry, can't link up to that ;-).  One will involve an Etchings by 3 Sisters charm pack.  Love that stuff.

Head on over to Lee's blog to check out everyone else's work!

    I know the feeling of being 'a little off' at the seams at the start and then realising it's a BIG PROBLEM later!

    But the snapshot quilt looks beautiful!

    I think the color palette of your snapshot quilt is so soothing & refreshing - I just love it!

    Hey, I've used that orange birdie print before! It's so cute. Is that your ironing board cover?

    Great job on that snapshot quilt. That looks like a lot of work, and no I can't tell you were off!

    I can't tell either! It looks great!

    I'm a newbie Quilter so I make mistakes all the time. What I tell myself is that a) the person receiving the quilt doesn't quilt and that b) the person receiving the quilt doesn't sew so A plus B equals they wont even notice my mistakes! Lol
