WIP Wednesday 9.4.13

Busy week again.  I got a lot of inspiration from a couple of county fairs in my area.

I completed the Jacob's Ladder charity quilt for our local quilt guild (LQG).  I'm very happy with the crosshatched feathered circles that I did on the cream squares.



I picked up my String of Pearls QA  fair quilt that won a 2nd place ribbon at our county fair.  Thanks for having such an awesome QA, Christa!  Check out this pattern for FREE at Christa Quilts blog.  I received a few good tips on my judging sheet.



I thought I completed my Surround Stars QA top.  But I just can't stand my trying to be modern design and HAVE to remove that little block.  I made another green one to replace it.  I just need to do some froggy stitching and it will be back in order.



I finished longarming my tumbler charm quilt.  It needs trimmed and binding.  I haven't even decided on the binding yet.  Here it is still on the frame.

I made this gorgeous, gorgeous herringbone block for the MSBHQAL (Molli Sparkles Broken Herringbone Quilt Along)  This is my "new" thing this week since I finished the tumbler charm quilt.
I'll be using scraps in pink, orange, and yellow for this QA.  It will be a nine-block baby girl quilt.
