Another WiP Wednesday…my favorite project this week was the LOVE Star! I designed this myself (paper piecing and all) and I’m planning on making a bunch of variations on this for Christmas presents. I’m trying to decide whether to make this a bit bigger into a table runner or a wall hanging or what…
My big project right now is a Christmas gift for my 11-year-old niece Livy. I had started a few blocks for a wonky star quilt awhile ago, but I decided I wasn’t happy with the background linen I was using. So I started over with Kona Stone as the background, and I’ve made three stars so far. I think I’m going for 24 total, but I haven’t fully made up my mind yet.
I made some progress on piecing the Central Park HST baby quilt top. No rush on this one, the baby isn’t due until February, but I just wanted to see some progress! This is a little more half the quilt top (the diamond will be off-centered):
This isn’t exactly a work in progress, but I was honored to receive the Versatile Blogger Award from Shannon! Super cool! I’ve been admiring Shannon’s blog for quite a while, I love her designs and admire her enthusiasm for organic fabrics! So part of the award is that I’m supposed to share 7 things about myself and then give the award to another blogger (or bloggers) that I admire, so I’ll be putting together a post about that soon. (So it IS kinda a work in progress!)
Last but not least, the stuff I haven’t touched this week:
Quilt tops in progress:
Kieran’s robot quilt
Colorful log cabin quilt
Completed quilt tops, waiting for quilting:
Delia’s Central Park log cabin quilt
Tattooed Ladies mini quilt
Small projects in progress:
Starburst Leftovers mug rug
