I made more progress on my blue scraps this week. I completed the Zip It quilt.
I made one more row, but I think it made it too big. I love this quilt more than I thought I would. My mission was just to make a blue/white cream quilt. I thought this pattern was too simple for me. I just LOVE it. It's going to be mine on my living room chair. Zip It is a sew along with Emma Jean Jansen on facebook here.
I'm seriously motivated to work on the vintage quilt that I have on my longarm frame so that I can get to quilting this one. I need to be thinking about how to quilt it...
I also picked my biggest project in the color of the month and worked on hand stitching the binding on it in front of the tv in the evenings. This bubble gum pink and blue quilt was abandoned by someone at my old quilt guild. It had big seams, popping seams, and didn't lay flat. I worked through them and now it is finished to be donated. It measures 77" x 104".
I'm linking up at Angela's blog, SoScrappy, for the RSC26 here.
Just love that blue/cream quilt, Kathy;))) I haven't made one in a while--sorting scraps over this weekend--I'll dump them all out on my dining table and first make color piles--then into baggies... Stay safe and warm this weekend

Zip It is so beautiful! I'd keep it for myself also. Did it reduce your dark blue scraps any? Hand stitching binding sounds like a good project for a cold snowy windy weekend, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI love your zip it quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't normally love Zip quilts, but I think now it's because they are too busy in lots of colors. The two-color version you made here is striking. Always amazing how color choices make a huge difference in patterns! And kudos to you for saving that fun blue & pink quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love your Zip It quilt in two colors. Well done on the blue and pink quilt, sounds like a lot of work to save it. It's beautiful.
