Monday Morning Design Wall 10/21/2012

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!!

  2. Hum, 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.

  3. The "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!!
