I had another productive week as I have put together five more blocks for my little Baltimore Album quilt. I am so enjoying this project! I only work on sewing the blocks when I am away from home as I have larger projects to work on when I am home. Between my hand quilting projects and getting more applique ready to sew, my home time is taken!! I am planning on getting other projects ready to finish up this week and I may have to take my "October Promise" into November just to start cleaning out the projects!
As part of my October promise, I am still working on my UFO's and the Lil'Twister quilt below is one of those. I purchased border fabric for it ages ago but did not know how to do them. This afternoon I pulled out Judy's book, 60 Pieced Borders and just did the math!! Took a while, a bit of trial and error but it finally worked.
I love how this turned out and I am looking forward to attempting to machine quilt it as I just finished the Crafty Class, Design it Quilt it by Cindy Needham, dang it, I think I can actually do it. GREAT CLASS worth every penny! I am going to see how ESS (Every Stinking Seam) works out so wish me luck!!
Remember to check out Judy's Blog and see all the other walls
Beautiful blocks and cute little quilt, Jennifer. Thanks for telling me about that class. I need to go check it out.
ReplyDeleteHum, how little are those blocks? they are wonderful. I lived in a suburb of Baltimore but have never done an album quilt. And, your little twister looks terrific. Those 4 borders make it look finished, not just some borders stuck on. Excellent job.
ReplyDeleteThe "Little Twister" is such as great quilt! And I love that you used Judy's book for the borders! I can't wait to use that book for something fabulous. I feel bad that I haven't posted in 3 weeks but, as I type this from beautiful Yosemite Valley (a dusting of snow on the upper peaks and puddles on the valley floor from the rain) I really can't feel too guilty. Great job, as usual, Jennifer!!
