bertineSo, here are some pictures of the quilt top I did this weekend:
The middle:
The borders:
The whole top:
I feel a little guilty because I have so many other projects I could have worked on but didn't. However, the half-square triangle quilt is going to be slow going for a while. It is so tedious to cut them all out.
Easy Finishes:
Zach's quilt:
Time for pinning! The quilting should be easy.
Placemats:
Zach's mom's birthday present. They are only a year late. (Hopefully only that late)
Sampler Quilt (My first quilt top):
I need to finish quilting and binding it. I have made slow progress on it. If I can get it done before we go to Billings I can sew the binding on in the car. Also, I don't really like this quilt anymore which is why I don't want to finish it.
Star Sampler:
This goes hand in hand with the Virtual Bee Quilt but I was making duplicates out of all the stars that I was making for others. I have 3 or 4 that are cut out but need to be sewn together. Once that is done it goes to the "finish in 2013" pile.
Space Invader Quilt:
I just have binding to finish. I should get that done before I use the binding for something else. I should just cut the binding and iron it this week. Small steps.
Quilting Bee Wedding Quilt:
I need to fix the backing before we go to Billings. Then I will be long-arm quilting it. I AM SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS.
More work to be done:
My cousin's baby's quilt:
I have picked out the pattern and have collected all the fabric (mostly the fabric I won a few weeks ago). This is what I am going to work on after I get a couple of the upper ones done.
Bird Quilt:
I just like the fabric and I started a quilt. It is all cut out and I should finish it before I hate the fabric. I am not sure who will get this quilt.
New Wave Quilt for Eric:
I didn't order enough fabric for the quilting bee so we ended up buying all new fabric. This is fine because the fabric I did get would be perfect for a quilt for Eric.
Hexie Quilt:
I make slow but steady progress on this. I have 45 flowers and need 200. It is a long road. I also think I am going to hand quilt this. Why? BECAUSE I AM CRAZY.
Virtual Bee Quilt:
I have 12 blocks but I want 24 total. I am putting this off until 2013/2014. Or I could just sew them together and be done with it. Hmm....
Half Triangle Quilt:
My aunt keeps sending me lots of fabric including a pack of rainbow fabric. I should work on the half square triangles that I have pinned but I need to cut more out.

Date: 2012-12-05 08:23 am (UTC)Also, I'm getting nostalgic seeing that photo of your hallway, and I'm fighting the urge to follow that statement with "isn't that dumb to be nostalgic about a hallway?" but I think I need to let myself feel this instead of telling myself it's stupid to feel it.
But I remember exactly what it sounds like in the stairwell, and the way the door feels when you open it. Little details. And the other day I was thinking about how much I enjoyed walking to Midtown Global Market in the afternoons, and how it felt to have the wedding coming up, that exciting unknown.
So many happy memories.

BTW, My dad asks about you all the time. I always pull up your website to show him pictures. He is always "She is welcome anytime".
