I'm behind on my projects:
I've decided I didn't like this monochrome text as a background. |
The owl house Moses basket quilt I'm making is coming along - I've made all 4 owl houses, but have done a u-turn on the back ground fabric! I was using black and white newspaper print but have decided it was too busy and not particularly baby friendly print; so I'm using aqua polka dots on whit now. I've got exactly 4 weeks until my due date to finish this! I've got some lovely soft fleece for the back; which I've never quilted with, so it'll be interesting! No sure what to bind it with yet..,?
The And Sew We Craft QAL July block is still in scrap form: aka I haven't even started it yet! Let alone started the August one! Will thee be time???
After just being spray basted yesterday. |
The wedding present quilt (which started this whole blog off!) is finally taking shape- however it has changed slightly since I began! It's a bed runner now (to lie across the bottom of a double bed) and has turned accidentally into a patchwork piece! I love these fabrics though and think the pops of yellow look fab in this design. I've started Quilting it too!! Yippee! I think they just take on a whole different feel once you've basted the layers together and started quilting! So comfy and luxurious all of a sudden! Yummy! I'm trying a completely unique quilting design that I have tried before; quilting the names and wedding date across it in a dark grey and am planning on quilting the rest in a lighter thread- will this work?? Watch this space!!
It's amazing how much time you can spend thinking/ worrying about a quilt and not actually doing anything! I think I am getting better at decision making, but this project is an example of procrastination big time! I'm a little bit disappointed that I have changed the design to make it simpler, but am hoping the quilting on it will make up for it!
Happy UFOing!
