Can't believe it's March already. I just haven't been in the sewing room much. I'm almost done with Block #4. Hope to get back in the sewing mood soon.

I finally remembered how to post pictures.

This is the center panel for "My Tweets"

 Block #1

 Block #2

Block #3

I figure if I can get 1 block a week finished, I would have this quilt done by summer.

1st UFO to work on.

I have decided to work on My Tweets" from One Piece at a Time. I have the large center panel and 4 or 5 blocks finished. I will post pictures of my blocks tomorrow.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Holiday. I have had my quilting break and I'm ready to get back in my sewing room. I have so many UFOs going I don't know were to start. I feel like writing them down,  putting them in a bowl and pulling a UFO out. So I'll let you know which one I have chosen tommorrow. I have a QofV on the frame that I plan to finish today. I have 2 more to get out this week.
I finally broke down and tried a Pantogram and I really like it. I had tried one a few years ago and just couldn't stay on the line, so I gave up. Now that I have more experience it was so easy and fun. I see doing more pantos in my future.

Old Fashioned Charm

I've had this pattern for a few years and am finally getting started on it. It's called Old Fashioned Charm by Lydia Quigley. It's 64"x74" but I want to make it king size. The smaller size calls for 50 pieced blocks and 49 5 1/2" white blocks. I have cut enough pieces to make the 50 pieced blocks and started sewing them. I like the fabric I'm using but wish I would have used alittle darker, I'm hoping they won't disappear when put together. Here's the fabric:

These are some of the pieced blocks.

I have so many more to go. This may become a lap quilt instead of a king. We will have to see.

26 blocks done and ?? more to go.



Sorry I haven't been on for a while. Life has been happening. I do have a few quilts done and a few more to finish piecing. I'll post picture of some of them tomorrow. Just wanting to let you all know I was still around.

2nd Double Takes II

After doing the first one, I knew I wanted to do another - maybe for our room. I fell in love with this line of fabric at my LQS. It's Treasures by Chabby Chic. It's so summery and I was suprised my Hubby didn't mind the use of pinks and greens for our bedroom. I added more squares and borders to make it 110 x 105
I need to trim and bind it. Then I'll get a picture of the whole quilt.
