WIP Wednesday 1.15.14

 Another busy and productive week. 

I finished the Giant Starbust QA at Canoe Ridge.  It turned out lovely!



I picked up another quilt from our LQG to longarm.  The back is ready too!



Surprise... I started another QA.  It's Leah Day's Building Blocks QA.  I hope to learn more freehand longarm quilting designs with this one.  I did the first three blocks for this week:



I finished my two improv tree blocks with Beth at Love Laugh Quilt blog is having a Christmas QA for 2014.



I finished my version of a modern block at  Sew at Home Mummy in the Classic Meets Modern BOM



For the RSC14 (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) I cut a lot of blues, and made four scrappy blocks.  I love these cut little 7" (fin.) English Wedding Ring blocks!  Little by little I'll use up my scraps and it will be a quilt!



I forgot that I had three more snowmen quilts (Frosty & Friends) that I started in November, 2013.  I forgot that they should be on my WIP list.  This will bring my WIP list up to higher than ever...  Here's the red one I did finish just in time for a teacher gift:



I'll be using orphan blocks and strings and following along with the Gypsy Wife QA.



I loaded my Quilt Doodle Designs 2013 BOM quilt on the frame.  I am doing some freehand quilting.

 

I made the top and back for this Flight quilt (I saw it on Molly Flanders blog and just had to make it.)
