Not Ignoring My Quilting Addiction . . .

Although I’ve been doing a lot of crocheting (more portable for something to do while waiting for son to get out of class!), I’m still sewing/quilting whenever I get a chance. I’m making tote bags right now and making designs using scraps.

Scraps, however, doesn’t do justice to the fabric used as the reason they end up in my leftover box is that they are so pretty and I hate to see them leave my collection. There have often been times when a very small piece of fabric is the exact fit for a missing section on a creation.

Progress!

After I was treated to a trip to the fabric warehouse and came home with new fabric, I figured I should try and complete some pending projects first. This one has been sitting on my sewing table for about three months. Every time I need to get to the sewing machine, this quilt had to be relocated because my need for the sewing machine didn’t concern actually finishing this one!

Either new vitamins or guilt had me complete TWO projects this week and I just threw them on top of other completed one in my room. They are officially off the sewing table.

In this quilt, I was seeing what I could do with the black and white prints in conjunction with the pink ones that had similar patterns. I got a lot of scraps used for the Dresden Plate circles and the idea seemed to work out pretty well. I got to do may favorite part of making a quilt today . . . The last stitch!
