The strip and slice was pieced and needed quilting. I decided on some organic wavy lines filled in with bouncing C's.
I like the texture created.
With the second one I was nearly finished the quilting, but after getting home from the retreat, it just sat. Finished it off - an overly knotty piece of wood, I'd say!
Then, because I'd been good and finished two projects off - complete with binding and labels, I figured I had earned some play time! I had made six 4.5" log cabin style blocks for a block lottery at VMQG, but then I was unable to attend the meeting.
They were calling to me!
And since I'm not really good at cleaning up between projects, the scraps and fabrics I had used initially were still out. I made the blocks larger, and played with some layouts, then started filling in the spaces.
The top is finished, my quilting is planned - maybe tomorrow before heading off for turkey!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy quilting!
Janet
Happy Thanksgiving, Janet. I thought maybe C's weren't for me but you are making me thing again. I'm thankful for all your inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving. You have beautiful projects happening at your house!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! Love the bouncing "c" design.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Janet! Maybe I should try puttering too. Love the FMQ designs especially the C's.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Janet. I got to do some puttering today too. I think those improv blocks weren't meant to go to VMQG, your blocks look great and I know the quilting will be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI really love the texturing on those quilts! The knotty one is something I've been wanting to try, and just haven't gotten to a top yet that wants it.
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes and the blocks are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting, I especially love the knotty wood. And the top looks great too.
ReplyDeletehope you had a happy Thanksgiving. I do love those 'c's. I might be able to do them.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Thanksgiving! I love the quilting on both quilts! And your new quilt is looking great, too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilting! You are a master, you know.
