Feels great to have another semester done. Graduation was yesterday, so today was free for sewing. I find the Under the Stars project to be quite boring. So, in order to force myself to get the project done, I load up my six small design boards with the pieces for the blocks. I make myself finish six blocks before I can start on the more fun projects.
The good news, for me, is that I only have 32 more blocks to go. I am ready to get this baby on the design wall and be done with it. Do you find some blocks to be absolutely boring to sew?
The next project I worked on today was block number 7 of the 2013 Designer Mystery Block of the Month. I love this fabric and think this BOM is great fun to work on.
With those blocks done, I got to work on Lucey. I am practicing my FMQ on really inexpensive fabric and making play quilts for my grandkids. I recently finished this Disney Princess quilt top.
When Little Missy was visiting for Thanksgiving, she stood on a step stool and watched me quilt this for her. I haven't buried my beginning/ending threads yet or bound it.
Here is the back of the Princess quilt. I found this quilt design on YouTube. It is from Lynn Durban and she calls it ButterClam. You can find it here.
Today I finished up a baseball/robot quilt for the grandsons. I was practicing making random squares. When I quilted, I had the baseball theme fabric on the top.
The back of the quilt is Robot themed fabric. When I turned it over, I really liked the backside the best. The quilting kind of looks like circuit boards. Very appropriate for robots.
That was enough for one day. Now I have the two play quilts to get bound. That is always my least favorite part of quilting.
Thanks for stopping by.
