Scrap Challenge 4

I LOVE my scrappy tumbler charm quilt.  It is on our bed.  It has so much sentimental value because these are the fabrics I used when I first started seriously quilting in 2011.  It measures 81" x 93" and contains 1152 tumblers.  The tumblers were cut with my Accuquilt GO! Baby.  All of the tumblers except for about 4 or 5 are unique fabrics.  Every once in a while I put something fussy cut upside down in the row, but for the most part, the tumblers are "upright".  I LOVE IT!!!  It's mine!!!

 

I entered it in the Scrap Quilt Challenge 4.

I quilted it using the versatile Circle Lord Swirls.  I used plain cream thread.

 

WIP Wednesday 10.15.14

Super productive week here!

I finished putting together this quilt top.  I won these sampler blocks back in February, 2012.  They were a WIP passed on to another person.  That person, Fiona, from Poppy Makes blog, put them up for a giveaway in a Fugly Fabric giveaway.  I think it worked out great for this quilt.




I made six woven bars for the October Block Lotto.  You can find info on the pattern on the Block Lotto site here.

.

For a while now, I've been wanting to make an alphabet sampler quilt. When I saw Little Letters from Temecula Quilt Company, I pulled my dark fabric strings and started making super cute blocks for the RSC14.

 

Sorry for the poor photos on the next two quilts.  It's pouring down rain today...  Hopefully next week my Celtic Solstice will be two rows bigger and hanging outside on the sunny clothesline.  I've made two more rows of progress on my Celtic Solstice!  Two rows/week goal!

 

I completed the October row for the Quilt Doodle Designs 2014 BOM.  Fun and scrappy.  Can't wait to see what the surprise is next month.  I bet it's a border with "Let It Snow" or something like that...

 

 

My friend, Julianne, needed help with making Lone Star blocks.  I sent her this one:

 

 

In other sewing news... I made this Halloween outfit for a friend's granddaughter.  I appliqued the face on the onsie and made the tutu.



I finished the longarm quilting on this quilt.  Come back Friday for a Friday finish.  A member of my local quilt guild made the quilt top.



Our Ohio weather is gorgeous!  Here's our 7-year old having fun with some hot dog buns and the free range chickens.



My WIP count this week is 35.  My WIP goal for New Years Day 2015 is 19.  I'm linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday!

A Surprise Sampler Quilt

This quilt is a Surprise Sampler quilt because I won these blocks in February, 2012.  They have been sitting on my shelf for some time.  I decided to make sashings and cornerstones for them as a leader/ender project.  Well, SURPRISE!!!  Today it's a quilt top!

Thank you, Fiona, from Poppy Makes blog and for sending them to me.  I know...  I'm surprised it is a quilt top now too.  It may be a charity quilt for my guild.  I'm not sure yet.  I might keep it on the Oops-I-Need-A-Quick Gift pile.  Regardless, THANK YOU!

...and what a gorgeous fall day it is here in beautiful Ohio!  The inner border is a small shirting plaid and the outer border were both given to me as "trash".  Whohoo!!!

October Block Lotto -- Woven Bars

 

The block this month for the October Block Lotto is woven bars.  You can find info on the pattern on the Block Lotto site here.  Here are the six blocks that I made this weekend.

Except for the orange, the colors play along with the October RSC14.
