Yet Another Pick and Choose Update

I got the sashing strips together and laid some around the blocks pinned to the wall:

Hopefully, you can get an idea of how these blocks will eventually look with the sashing. I am pleased.
I spent a while yesterday sewing the star blocks together and got about half of them done. It is gong rather slow, [...]

Sudoku Quilt Finish

I spent most of my sewing time the last couple of days finishing up this quilt. It has been lying around for a while and I really wanted to see how it would look on my kitchen wall. So, I took a break from the green blocks to quilt and bind it.

It measures 24.5″ x [...]

Another Pick and Choose Update

I sewed about half of the half-square-triangle units and the four-patch units together, and put some on the wall.  This time I was able to separate the star blocks a little so you can better see them.  You still have to imagine green sashing about 2.5″ wide between them to get an idea how it [...]

Another Pick and Choose Update

I got all the small units (four-patch and half-square-triangle) assembled, and started putting them up on the design wall to see how they will look together.

The long strips on the top are the binding strips. They will get sewn together end on end into a long strip.
The smaller strips on the left are the sashing strips. They will be sewn together end on [...]

Another New Project

Although I have like two or three dozen unfinished quilty projects lying around already, I have begun yet another one.  I can’t help myself.  This one has been calling to me for over a month.  It is called Pick-and-Choose.  Just look at it:

I realize that the quilt on the cover doesn’t really look like one [...]

CQ Progress

I have been working on the Santa crazy patch block a little. I have all but one of the seams covered with a basic stitch in either gold or silver. Here is what it looks like so far:

Once I get that last seam covered, I will start adding stitcheries in red and green and eventually [...]

What Have I Been Up Too?

Here is a picture of some of the string pieced blocks. This is about 2/3 of them.

That’s all I have time to mention. My friend Lynn surprised me by stopping by a couple days ago and is visiting.
