More Quilting
I may have just finished a quilt top, but that doesn’t mean I’m planning on taking a break from my quilting. I’ve already got another (allbeit much smaller) project in the works. This one will actually be small enough that I’m hoping to attempt to machine quilt it myself, using my sewing machine. This particular…
Read MoreCrazy About This Top
I’m crazy about this top, quilt top that is. I’ve got what I estimate to be between 60 and 70 hours and about $20 in this quilt top. Since I used scraps for all the blocks, the only fabric I had to purchase was for the sashing. I’m trying to decide how to explain how…

I’m super excited that I finished the center section of the crazy quilt! I’ve still got to cut the scraps off of the edges, but the hardest part is done. Once this piece is cut down it should measure 82×44-inches. And please excuse the bad photo, it’s way to big to get a decent photo…

As you may have read in some of my previous posts (here, here, here, here, and here), I’m working on a crazy quilt. I got a lot done on it over the weekend. My original plan for the quilt involved sashing the 12-inch blocks in a dark grey – something like Kona Cotton in Charcoal. …

As some of you may remember, I’m working on a Super Secret Project. You can read about it here, and here. I’ve been done with the part of the project I could complete myself since about Christmas. Because I’m not magically super talented, I had to enlist some help for the final steps. I’m happy…
Read MoreThat’s Crazy!
I’m super excited about about my crazy quilt project. I’ve completed a total of 19 blocks so far. That mean’s I’m 75% through the crazy quilt blocks. Here are some photos of the completed blocks:
Read MoreStill Going Crazy
With all the fun, exciting things going on in my life, I’ve been quite a slacker on all of my crafting and sewing projects, including my quilts. Fortunately, when I went home last night, I started cleaning the basement, which is where my crafting area is. I didn’t get too much cleaning done, but it…
