Work on the bathroom remodel is making progress; however, it seems slow. Hopefully it will be totally finished about midweek. While they worked, I pieced and quilted.
At church quilt group Wednesday I found the perfect fabric and added a simple border to the economy blocks so the top is ready for a backing and quilting.
After church quilt group Wednesday I brought home a sandwiched top for quilting. It was pieced by Joan and she will sew the binding. I used a light green blending thread so the quilting is not easily seen. The top portion has FMQ feathers. Next I used the technique of divide and conquer with crazy eight motif between parallel lines. On the bottom section I quilted swirls.

I pulled another of my UFOs. I had 4 – 16” finish string spiderweb blocks from several years ago inspired by Bonnie Hunter's spiderweb quilt. I considered making enough for a 3 by 4 setting. Instead I decided to only make 2 more and plan to add a pieced border for a 48” by 64” lap size charity quilt. I finished two more blocks so here is the current layout.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you’ve been making wonderful progress with your quilting projects! The economy blocks must look lovely with their new border, and your detailed quilting—feathers, crazy eights, and swirls—adds such artistry. The spiderweb quilt idea for charity is inspiring; that 48" × 64" layout will make a cozy and meaningful gift.
