WIP Wednesday, July 24, 2019

I'm still being productive this summer and sewing up a storm.

Today I hope to finish putting borders on my "ugly fabric quilt", load it unto the longarm, and get it half quilted (I haven't thought of what quilting template to use yet--I'm leaning towards zig zags.)  I have added a border that was one of my pink fabrics, now I'm adding the cream border and next a brown border.


This is my July OMG (one main goal) project.  I was able to add several rows while working on it during the FNSI (Friday Night Sew In.)  Here's what it looked like before borders:



I'm super excited that I finally found this OMG project (above)  I had been looking for it for a month.

I made oodles of pink 4-patch blocks working with PINK scraps for the RSC19 (Rainbow Scrap Challenge).



Oh, before I forget to tell you.  I found a ton of cool FREE patterns here.  It's time to start thinking of my 2020 RSC projects!


I completed all of clue number 1 of SSSSQ (a quilt along on Kevin the Quilter's blog) in 1.5" squares.  (Yes, I am also making this quilt with 2.5" squares.)  That's a bunch more 4-patches!



This item comes off my to-do list!  I completed the longarm quilting on this customer quilt:



I made one more Wings of Spring block to complete my set of 40.  I won 39 blocks in the Block Lotto.  I ran across this project while looking for my July OMG shown above.
