My butterfly heart quilt that I started a while ago is sandwiched and I've brought it back from the beach house to work on it at home. I haven't done much more than that. Unfortunately, I have no pictures to share. After cutting out many hearts from my collection of butterfly fabrics, I am wondering if I need some bigger ones to ground the design. What am I walking about, you ask - I promise pics soon.
No progress on my blue snowflakes although I have been getting 'gentle reminders' from DD to start again on it.
My Christmas presents are coming along well, but I am quickly running out of time. I just received a reminder in the mail that overseas packages need to be sent by 25 November - that leaves me 2 more weeks. I'm pleased with the results, but must be mysterious about the details - I don't want any spoilers.
I have finished the top of my crumb quilt and have packed it away for a rainy day. As much as I enjoyed the process, it was taking too much of my attention while other projects lagged. I really like the way it turned out and I am looking for the perfect bright pink fabric to bind it with. I'm undecided about the backing, but I have a few bits and pieces that should do the trick.
That crumb quilt is amazing!! What a lot of work must have gone into it!

It looks great - you must finish it
ReplyDeleteYour making a crumb quilt too! I was just visiting another blog and she was making one. I love crumb blocks and so badly wanted to join in the crumb quilt along that's going on. I just don't have the time until I at least finish my farmer's wife and my double wedding ring. I really love yours, I feel quite sure finding a bright pink for binding won't be too much trouble!
ReplyDeleteI so understand how these seemingly small projects can take over all your available time. I hope it doesn't sit waiting for the perfect binding for too long - it deserves to see the light of day as a finished quilt - it's so beautiful.
