WIP Wednesday 9/21/11

This week was pretty productive with my Diamond Chains quiltalong.  I have all of my diamond blocks made (28).  I haven't decided 100% to go with the purple fabric yet, but right now that's what I'm using.  You can still join at Tilda's Twisted Life.

Here's the safe layout I have planned (not all green was colored in, but you get the point.)

I worked on my Crumb Along at Jo's Country Junction.   I have 24 blocks that make me happy and removed the yellows and others that I did not like.  I will not be putting the same constant fabric with the blue background and the pink roses/buds in every block.  It's just too much.  A bomb went off on my desk!

I will be joining the DUO quiltalong next week.  It's not a lot of blocks and I will probably be doing a table runner project.  The point is that two gals from across the pond of each other are focusing on the quilting.  One hand-quilts and the other FMQs.  Hopefully I'll get some great quilting tips.

Here's my cut up rows 5 and 6 of the Victoriana Designs Fabric Party.  Normally you get one row to do per month.

I'm caught up on my We Can Do It Skill Builder Sampler.  YEAH!

I also sorted some stuff that I had in the 80's.  These fabrics have been put away forever.  I found them today when I was looking for a juicer.  What a find!  Soooooooooo happy!

An over a foot pile of fabric, quilting patterns for quilts and baby quilts.  Gardening books, notions, and extra bins.  Whee!
