I have had some good sewing progress the best one is the fact that I did finish the Wedding Quilt.  Here is a quick peek.  I am planning on taking some better photos and it deserves a post of its own.  The quilting was fun but took way longer than I thought.  Overall I am really happy with it.



I did get 4 blocks done on my Moda Friendship Blocks.  I still have 2 applique ones and now the 3 for September.  At least I am not 9 blocks behind.  I may need to redo the top left - the fabric I used mushes a little too much.


I was only able to do one more Tula block so I still have 4 more to finish section two.  I have realized I am not going to make the goal of all the blocks done by September 20th.  That was to receive a t-shirt from the LQS.  I am still going to try to get this done.


I also need to commit to the MMQG challenge quilt. I have my one color and have bought the fabric and I just can't pick the pattern or idea.  I need to start that in the next week or so!  Hopefully I will pull some fabric and the rest will just speak to me and I will know what to make.

Hope everyone is getting lots done as summer is winding down.  I love fall but summers in Wisconsin are too short so I am sad to see it ending.

Check out what is happening on others sewing progress.  I am linking up at WIP at Freshly Pieced, 627 Handworks for Thursday Threads, and Needle and Thread Thursday.

  2. Great job on the paisley quilting! I did read down to the post where you were finished quilting the heart, but looking for ideas of how to quilt the background. Wow, that is a large space needing filled. Good for you tackling the FMQ of such a large area! It does take a long time, but it is worth it.... You have done a fantastic job!
