August Finishes - Little Snowballs

Finally finished this Panel Kit that I bought a couple of years ago.

Plan on giving it to my GGS on his second birthday. 

I love the cute little Sweetwater print for the back.

The Bunkhouse Plain and Fancy quilt is 57 by 66" and I will donate it to Pine Tree  this fall.

Backing a red and tan paisley that I had on hand.

"Flywheel"  44 by 60"

Another donation quilt that I was glad to finish!

I even finished sewing bindings on a couple of Table Runners that have been laying on the shelf for more years than I can even remember.

The Fifty-four Forty quilt (64 by 72") is also ready to be donated for the VA Hospice Unit.

This is my new  - old project!

  I have been making these 4,5 inch blocks on and off for a few years.

I initially started making them intending to use them as a border for a quilt I was making at the time.

I put them aside but made more now and then. I put them away while cleaning up the sewing room.

Found them again!

I started sewing them into 9' blocks, by colors, this week. 

I'll have to see where this goes!

A good quilting week!

Lunch out with friends from Ladybug Quilt Shop Tuesday,

Regular sewing day with friends C and S on Thursday and 

Undercover Bee tomorrow  - always fun!

 

Three Projects Ready to Quilt and One New Project

I finished this top in July 2021 - it is 90 by 99".

Made a backing for this and it is ready for quilting.

The 10th time I have used this pattern that I remember.

I've always called it Exquisite Star.

                                                        

I had finished this and added borders to make it 57 by 66".

I called it Bunkhouse Plain and Fancy.  Also made the backing for it.

Another small quilt that I started as a spur of the moment idea.  To see if I would like it etc.

I ran out of the background fabric and it waited for a few months until I found more of it.

Not thrilled with it but will quilt it for a donation quilt.

It doesn't look very inviting in these photos either.

I started it in December 2021 - it is 44 by 60".

Calling it Flywheel, also made a back for this .

This pattern is called Logs and Bricks and is published in Scrap-Basket Knockouts by Kim Brackett.

So I pre-ordered the book that was published in July. 

I saw the preview for the book and loved this pattern!

I had rather figured out the pattern but I liked the other quilts in the book too.

I made a few blocks and luckily it was the same as in the book.

It is lots of cutting and lots of small pieces.

This where I ended today but I have more blocks in various stages.

It's a log cabin type of block.  So it works best for me to sew them that way.
