Quilt In Progress

I’m excited to at last have some blog content put together to share. I have been in a bit of an art ‘funk’ so to speak but I am hoping that it is now broken and things will start to roll along somewhat smoothly.

For the last couple of months I have casually been working on this queen size scrap quilt top whenever a good chunk of time would lend it’s self. Now that cold weather is here and the holidays are quickly approaching I have been really antsy to see it come together. The last week has seen a flurry of activity in getting all of the blocks completed and strips sewn.





Tonight I have finished up a lot of pressing (I’m huge on pressing everything, call me crazy) and have started squaring things up and getting strips put together.



My original goal was to be done by Christmas Day so I could get some other sewing projects completed over the holiday free time, but when time was up tonight I am admitting that’s just not going to happen as there is too much to do with gifts still to wrap and packing to do for visiting family. So I’m planning on packing up the quilt and taking it with me to work on during the visit. If all goes well I will be able to finish up the top with time to spare for at least one other project. Hey, I’m being positive here! *chuckles*
