Weekend Update

Here is Block G for the ABC BOW at Shush I'm Quilting. I am still ahead on that one, but have been able to show some self-control and not start the girl blocks. I feel very consumed with UFOs and hate to start something else, but of course I did...
Which brings me to the Schnibbles this month, Clover. I had the top done last night and was getting ready to take a picture to submit to Sherri at A Quilting Life when I saw I had one of the pieces turned the wrong way. Yikes! I just used my trusty Clover seam ripper for who the quilt is named and ripped it out and sewed it back in correctly. I love, love, love the fabrics I used in this. I used two Moda Savonnerie charm packs and a very light cream for the background. Now, I think I will be on the lookout for some fabric to add as borders and make this bigger and use it as a tablecloth. My Fiestaware dishes will look fabulous with it.
 
I pieced my scarecrow quilt together and now just need to applique the fall leaves on. I want to get it quilted up with perle cotton. Hopefully, I will have pictures of the complete top by the weekend.
 
I am anxiously awaiting Friday's unveiling of the Bee in My Bonnet new quilt along. I also am thinking of starting in on the Temecula Quilt Co. quilt along they are starting on Friday too. Check them both out! Hopefully, for both I will be able to use my stash and avoid buying more fabric especially with Christmas on the way. What are you up to this week?

  4. Love your Schnibbles quilt! Lots of primary colors - looks like my stash having fabric for making Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. I know what you mean about having UFOs to complete before starting something new but then maybe a new in between finishing a UFO is more doable. Love your Fall Redwork too! I have some RedWork blocks just waiting to be made into a quilt - yep another UFO. LOL! Happy quilting!

  6. Love your Clover! I started mine and then got really, really frustrated because I messed up numerous times and had to rip out stitches. So it's in a ziploc bag right now waiting for me to get patient again!
