Working for Boeing - No

I'm not working for Boeing, but I do have a bunch of red and blue airplanes paper pieced...Let's count the Red Ones for the current color at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  I should have more of them done by Saturday.

Finished in 2018

There wouldn't be much of a post here if I only showed finished quilts from 2018... You know me, I'm slow.  But I did finish some involved paper pieced blocks. Wanna see?

These 3 flag blocks were for Alicia's friend who passed.

 

 

 

 

 

This is one of a variety of small blocks made into mug rugs for my sister.

 

This quilt is now finished and ready to send - just need an address.

 

Working on the airplanes and circles now.  I don't know why, but I liked the patterns (paper pieced, don't ya know).

 

I also worked on a failed swan...just couldn't get the beak to work out - no picture either.

 

I did finish 3 quilts, and some of those paper pieced blocks took longer than the quilts.

 

So that was 2018.  No resolutions, no plans other than to do better.  I think I can manage that one, but I've set the bar pretty low.

 

Hope you have a wonderful New Year, and fun tonight.

Hugs,

Terri

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Working on Two New Quilts

While looking over the Quilters Cache website I found some quilts I'd like to make in the Inspiration section.  I was very pleased to find that they were easy paper piecing.  Exhibit A

I've been making one plane and 2 "circle" parts each day. The airplanes may be a baby quilt someday... (I have 9 grandkids, some of them are adults so I will be having great grands again soon. I have one now.) The circles are mostly from scraps, and I'm hoping they will look good enough for a quilt for my favorite charity - Hands 2 Help.
Enjoying an energy boost from somewhere, so I'm actually getting some things done. (It feels good.)

 

It's Friiiiiiday!  Have a wonderful weekend.

Hugs,

Terri

Friday Finish Baby Quilt

I just quilted in the ditch of the blocks. Here is the backing fabric with the blue binding,  I had to hand sew the binding... I forgot to sew it onto the back first and then sew it onto the front with the sewing machine.....!  Next time I'll remember, I hope.

I love the binding fabric. It goes quite well with this little quilt.

So I'm done, and now I need an address to send it off.

Happy Weekend to you all,

Hugs,

Terri

Finally a Finished Flimsy

I've been working on this baby quilt for a while now. I showed it last time. You commenters convinced me to rearrange the blocks. I did and I like this arrangement better. Thank you so much.

Before:

 

After: 

I like this better... it looks more organized.  Do you think it needs a border?  It's 35 X 42 now.

While I'm working on it, it seemed  like a group of Rorschach tests . What do you make of the  block below?

 

I think it represents flames on the planet Mars.  What do you think?

 

So it's only Tuesday... Hump day tomorrow. Doesn't mean a thing to me though. I'm retired.  Have a great rest of your week.

 

Hugs,

Bright Baby Quilt

Blocks are all done, and pinned into temporary placement.  I'll be looking for something I don't like about it... If you see something amiss, let me know.

Used some of my favorite prints. It didn't hurt that I found the 5" blocks already cut and hiding in my stash.  I was probably planning another Jazzy Snowball. I like to make those.  I have made one like this before (with the partial borders). Give me a minute to look up a picture .....

Here it is.... an "I Spy" made with the same "pattern" from out of my head.  I found it under Project Linus.  I don't know when I made it, but I blogged about it  July 31, 2010. Seems like a lifetime ago.



So thanks for stopping in. It's Friday tomorrow, so have a lovely weekend.

 

Hugs,

Terri

Family Thanksgiving - so much fun

We went to my sister's for Thanksgiving.  Thank you Barb and Sons. (She was packing to move on Friday.) Dinner was mostly made by Ben, her middle son (seen in the foreground, next is the youngest son Joe, the little guy is Ben's girlfriend's son, and then my sis).  The blonde in black is Kelly, Rob's new bride.

 On the bottom right my hubby showing his best side...LOL

 Barb and her 3 sons.  Ben in the back, Joe is the youngest, and in the front is Rob. He is the oldest.

 Barb and I. - I already miss her.  She's moved to Florida.  I need your address, girl..




These are some blocks I made to start a baby (1 year old) quilt.  I found the 5" wild print blocks in my stash, so they work great with 2 -  2"border strips.  I've got a bunch more made, but I'm not going to show them all so soon. I'll show some more tomorrow.

We had rain this morning, snow is falling now.

Hope you had fun this weekend.

Hugs,

Terri
