Works in Progress
I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress in the last week. I finished all the blocks for the Christmas quilt I’m making with the left over fabric from my Christmas Crazy Quilt. Then I got those blocks put together for a finished top, pieced the back, and quilted it. Now all that’s left…
Read MoreBlogger’s Quilt Festival – Scrappy Quilt Entry
I’m super excited to be participating in my 2nd Blogger’s Quilt Festival. This year I’ve decided to enter my Christmas Crazy Quilt in the scrappy quilt category. I absolutely love this quilt.

Nothing completed this week, but I made some progress in using up my scrap Christmas fabric. I made a couple of Christmas ornaments that match my quilt, and pulled left over scraps for a second, simpler quilt for the couch.

I actually feel like I made some progress this week! I finished my String Theory quilt. And I also finished the top of my Christmas crazy quilt, got it quilted, and am in the process of binding it. I want to wait to share the whole quilt with you when it’s done, but here’s a…
Read MoreString Theory Quilt
The String Theory quilt is finally complete. I got the binding put on it last week and I actually finished the binding by hand! That’s a new one for me. But since I chose to bind the quilt with some of my left over silk and brocade, I figured it would be best not to…
