I enjoyed a great Thanksgiving Day with siblings
and some nieces and nephews. I hope you enjoyed
time with family or friends.
Friday after I returned home, I sewed the
binding on my modern quilt from Score 1 of The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters.
I wanted to use a new modern quilting
technique so I quilted it with a continuous spiral using the walking foot. I’m
glad I did but don’t know that I will use that technique again.
Today I pulled out another UFO from my
focus list I made last January. These
are blocks from last year’s Rainbow Scrap Challenge. My design wall is not large enough so I laid
out blocks on the floor. I moved 2 after this photo but they are now pinned in row stacks and ready to be sewn together.
Last week I tackled another UFO from my
list and have 60 blocks sewn for the Four Patch Swirl. It is a stack'n whack technique. It is interesting how different the block can turn out depending on which corner is toward the center. Here are some examples.
I have not decided on sashing or alternate
blocks so these are waiting for inspiration.
With the holidays coming and the end of
year fast approaching, I looked back at my focus projects for 2018. Seven of the 12 have happily been completed
and I have made progress on 2 more at least one of which may be finished before
the year’s end. Having the focus list
has been a great help.

Enjoy some time sewing or quilting. I'm linking up with Scrap Happy Saturday.
Very nice! Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts are always difficult for me to arrange without making it look like a color wheel. Yours blend beautifully.
ReplyDeleteNice job on your Score 1 quilt. Love, love, LOVE what you've got going on the floor with that RSC quilt!! I had to laugh at your 4-Patch Posy UFO, as I've got one of those hidden in the depths of the project pile. Good luck with figuring out how to finish yours! Maybe mine will resurface, one of these days.
ReplyDeleteGreat improv quilt, and I love your rainbow blocks. The combination of star blocks and the other blocks look fabulous together!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on getting those UFOs crossed off the list before the new year begins. Lovely effect on the modern quilting. It is fun to try new techniques even if they don't turn into immediate favorites.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Scrappy Rainbow Quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour scrappy rainbow quilt with the occasional white stars is very nice! The other ones you are working on or completed are too - but I came by from the RSC. : ) Thank you for sharing!
