10 finishing things.

1.15.2013

I feel like I'm finally getting close to finishing up a few of my WIPs, and it feels great!  I am determined to get the stacks of half-finished projects done so I can work on new things.  The start of the #xplusalong (an informal quilt along on Instagram) seemed like the perfect time to work on my scrappy + and x quilt for do.Good Stitches!  I finished up a few blocks and stitched them all together at lunch today.  I think I'll add a border around the blocks and call it done!
It amazes me how good this quilt looks no matter what fabrics are used.  There is a very eclectic mix of fabrics going on here and it still looks good to me!
 You can find the tutorial for these blocks here.  They are really fun to make!
I made progress on a couple more quilts last night too, finally stitching on the binding of my Cosmos Butterflies quilt, and making a pieced backing for my lone starburst quilt.  Some hand stitching and basting might happen tonight!
I'm kind of tempted to start another + and x quilt for myself now.  Maybe with some of my Field Study stash?  I'll try to resist a little longer!

  5. I'm in love with this quilt too. I have enough blocks at this point for a lap quilt, which was my intention, but I've enjoyed making the blocks so much, and literally adding fabric from just about every project I'm working on, that I want to make it bigger. We'll see when I stop-it feels like second nature to cut 3.5 " and 2" squares from whatever I'm doing!
