SAHRR: completed quilt top!

Finally finished my quilt top for: Quilting Gail's SAHRR 2025. Although several weeks late, and after a few changes to my layout, it is done. Thank you to Gail for this very fun SAHRR. Everyone's quilts and quilt tops look fabulous. Hoping to get this one quilted and binded soon.

SAHRR more progress...

Have you ever decided, mid project, to redo a quilt block? The center block? Well, that is exactly what I have done. It seemed like my center Lady of the Lake block needed some more color. Now, the {former} background leaves print has been replaced with a solid julep green. That was not an easy task. Very pleased with the change though. The block needs a bit more tweaking, but I really like it much better now. What do you think about the redo decision?

My health is improving, slowly. The redo on this project is the 2nd time doing any sewing in 7-8 weeks. Getting back in the groove for sure. Blocks 5 and 6 are sewn, just awaiting to be added into the quilt. What are you working on currently?

SAHRR: so far...

Hello friends, it has been a few weeks. Lately, I have been unable to sew or quilt due to a health situation. This put the halt on my SAHRR hosted by Gail of: Quilting Gail, as well as Project Quilting 2025 season 16. So, here is as far as I had gotten on the SAHRR. Round 4, sliced block of choice. See them in the photo? Only a few are actually sewn into the quilt top. I am doing better, and hoping to start sewing and quilting {as well as walking without a walker} very soon. I try to keep this blog on a positive and happy note about quilting, sewing and crafting. Sometimes life gets involved, though. We all have experienced that. Thank you all for sticking around. Planning on visiting your blogs today to see your awesome works.

Project Quilting 16.3: 3 Common Blocks

This is my project for the Project Quilting 16.3 Challenge: 3 Common Blocks. I love that this challenge provides a lot of choice for the participants. My chosen blocks are: 4 Patch, Square in a Square, Quarter Square Triangle {my new favorite}, and Hourglass. Well, that is actually 4 blocks. Decided to go with all solids on the quilt top for a modern look. This little table topper will fit nicely on a small end table in my living room. Please continue reading for more, and for comments.

SAHRR Round Robin: Round 3

Good evening everyone. Hope your day is going well. It is rain here, but warmer temperatures though. This is my Round 3 of the SAHRR hosted by Quilting Gail. Her prompt is stars, so I chose the Double {Twin} Friendship Star block. Special because of my twin sister who has passed 5 years ago. My stars are located at the top and bottom rows, and sewing blocks that small {3 1/2"} is not typical for me. Yes, struggled a bit, but it was definitely worth the effort. 'Added a 4 Patch block between each set of stars. Now to get the coping border cut and sewn around the quilt top. That will get done tomorrow. Please continue reading for more, and for comments.

SAHRR Round Robin: Round 2

This week's prompt is from Anja of Anja Quilts, and is Half Square Triangles {HSTs}. My choice is made from HSTs, and is called the Quarter Square Triangle. They are really fun to sew. They are added in the right and left sides of the quilt top, and Round 3 will be the top and lower rows. Please continue reading for more info, and for comments.

Project Quilting: 16.2: Ombré

Good morning friends. Beginning the day with my little quilt for Project Quilting 16.2: Ombré. This was a fun challenge, yet took me a while to decide on a design. The result is this little wall quilt, featuring a spool of green thread, which fades from a dark green to a pale green. Please continue reading for more information, and for comments.
