Maniac Monday

 I had a very good week. Got some sewing done. I went to my sister-in-laws house on Tuesday and spent sometime with her sewing. My DD#1 came home for the weekend from college and we spent most of Friday sewing. Saturday DD#1 and DD#2 and I went to a quilt show and had a good time there. 

I have finished with the Red, White, and Black Strip Quilt. It is all bound and washed. I love the way it turned out. My daughter has decided she does not want it until she graduates from High School in May. So it is in a Curio Cabinet that I got from my husbands family. 

 Here is the back. Yes I will get a label on it when I give it to her. HA HA

I am working on a few UFO's. There are three matching tiny baby quilts that I am making for my Granddaughter. This is the smallest one. I am playing around with some free motion quilting. 

The colors are all weird in this one but the quilting is finished. Now I just need to do the binding and quilt the other two. Do you think and dark purple would look ok as a binding? 

Here is my Schnibble for September. I did it in fall colors with a fun fall background. I am going to  finish this one and put it on my kitchen table. 

I hope you all have been productive in at least a small area of your lives.

One New Project

I know I said that I would not make anything that was not a UFO. BUT...My LQS is starting a new group of projects using 2 1/2 inch strips or "Jelly Rolls". They are not a big fan of Moda, sorry Moda, so that have "jelly rolls" available from other companies. I bought a black and white one from them to support them. I loved the fabrics but the cutting was very bad. Here are a few pictures of what the strips looked like when I opened up the bundle. The top edges are straight on the line at the top. You can see the bottom edge gets too skinny on one part and too fat on another. This is on the same strip and ALL the strips were this way. I  was very sad by this. But I worked ahead anyway.

 I added two red strips, I will use this red as the thin inner border, and two red, white, and black strips. The R,W, & B strips are the same fabric that I will be using for the outer border. I added a 2 1/2 inch red square to the end of all the strips except for the two red strips to them I added black squares.

 Here is the one picture I snapped at my LQS while I was on my first row, the LONGEST row.

 This is what it looked like when I got done that night. It is not trimmed or ironed.

 Freshly finished top!!

 This is the fabric I picked for the back. Happy Joann's fabric. I thing it will be great.
