Design Wall 8-16-10

On my design floor today is the start of Fall Frolic from the book 40 Fabulous Quick-Cut Quilts by Evelyn Sloppy. I am making it with Gobble Gobble by Sandy Gervais and am using a layer cake and jelly roll.

I have enjoyed looking at all the post over at Judy's, but I still can't make comments since I am on a borrowed computer to post and can't use up much of their time. Thank you all for the inspiration.

Also, if you want to see how I finished the blocks that I posted last week, it is on my last post.

Friday Finish

I have two flimsies to show today. The first is Avignon Picnic from the Moda Bake Shop website.

And this is my finished JRSAQ quilt. I took the advice in the comments on my last Design Wall post and found a dark fabric for the sashing and border. This is the purple solid from the Essence line by Sandy Gervais for Moda. It looks like suede and I love it. Thank you to Charlene S and Kwiltnkats for giving me the push I needed to decide.

WIP Wednesday

I wanted to show what I have been stitching on recently. This is a thread roll from Wendy KC Designs. Almost ready to start the finishing.

Design Wall 8-9-10

On the wall today, I have my Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along blocks. I had made three blocks to trade out for ones I didn't like, but decided to keep them all and have a bigger quilt. Now I need to find a border fabric and get it completed.

I wasn't able to post any comments last week on people's design wall post, but I really enjoyed seeing them and look forward to them again today.

Design Wall Monday-8/2/10

I actually have something on my design wall today. This is the Avignon Picnic quilt from the Moda Bake Shop site.


Now off to catch up on what everyone else is working on.

Man it has been awhile since I posted. Here are some of the things I have worked on.

I finished Paradigm Lost and I love it. The single block is Block 11 of the Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along. The pieces are for my new start, Avignon Picnic from ModaBakeShop by Andrea Harris. And I finally completed Best Buds by The Silver Lining. This picture truly does not show how realistic these roses look.

Latest stuff

I have been unemployed for a week now, and am finding myself not getting anything done. I have read lots of books but that is about it. This is the first time since I was 16 that I haven't had a job. I thought I would get so much done, but so far haven't felt like it.



Anyway, on to the fun stuff. I finished Block 9 in the Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along. The one in the lower right corner. I have 42 blocks made for the next quilt. Now just to sew them together and cut them apart. These are for Paradigm Shift out of the May/June McCall's Quilting.









































I stitched the heart to celebrate the 4th and will pass the pattern on to my mom. I have also made some progress on the yellow roses. Only 3 pages left.


























Off to catch up on blog reading. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
