WIP

I'm posting my works in progress in hopes of lighting a spark to get me sewing. 

The Kaleidoscope quilt was made from a layer cake.

 In cutting the corners for the quilt I ended up with 162 triangles. 

Since this fabric is so beautiful and I love it, 

I just had to think of something to do with all those triangles. 

 I saw this quilt by anthropologie. 

Quilts design by Anthropologie

My triangles were already cut, I just needed a small bit of solids.

So I tried this

and this

and finally this

Please excuse the poor photo, it's night time here.

Hopefully, I will get this triangle quilt layered and quilted 

within the next couple weeks.  

It's very different than the kaleidoscope, 

but I think I'm going to really like it when it's all done. 

I have a couple of small finishes

this little purse made for my grand daughter's 3rd birthday 

and this little bunny for my youngest grand-daughter.  

Bunny is sporting a reversible dress made 

from Jenny's Fluffy Stuffy Bunny dress pattern

I'm linking up over at Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday

Happy Sewing : )

Another WIP Wednesday

Its another Wednesday.

Time to take a step back and see how far I've 

gotten on my Works In Progress this week. 

I'm trying really hard not to listen to the voices 

calling me to start new projects

I finished this little I Spy this week.

It is one of two, and is made for my second grandchild. 

I love how it turned out.

It 's perfect for nap time snuggling at Mema's house. 

I finished my grandson's sometime ago, but here it is, alike yet different. 

You can really see how the surrounding colors set a different feel to the quilt. 

While I love these two quilts, there are easier ways to make an 

I Spy quilt and I probably won't make any like this in the future. 

I have a second finish this week. 

Another I Spy, because grandchild number three needs one too.

I was inspired by this quilt made by Nettie from A Quilt is Nice

You can see her original post about it here.

Its beautiful, and has a sweetness and simplicity about it.

It was perfect for my third I Spy.

I love rounded quilt corners, and they are always my first choice.  

They just seems so much more friendlier

I already had lots of I spy fabric left over, but wanted to try something new.

With this quilt I could focus on girlie squares for the spying.

Nettie's quilt fit.

I wanted to go for a light purple, but my local store didn't carry any, so pink it was.

I loved Nettie's circular quilting, but I wasn't brave enough, so I went with straight lines.

I think the straight lines take something away from the quilt, but I know my sweet little one year old won't care. She will love it as it is, and that makes me happy.

Here are my two finishes together!  

I don't think I have ever had two finishes in one week! 

I am linking to WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.

Now to clean out an extra bedroom. I wonder what other WIP I will find? 

WIP Wednesday

Here I am with my WIP again in a effort to strike a balance 

between some old projects and the new ones calling my name. 

This week I pulled out two I Spy Quilts 

that should have done long ago.

This one is for my almost three year old grand-daughter and

this week I got to the quilting and partially attached the binding. 

I made one just about like it for my grandson, 

using the almost identical I Spy patches and blue instead of purple.

This little I Spy uses 2 inch squares surrounded by a Kona solid pink. 

I will post more about it in a few days : )  

It has been layered and basted for months, 

and just needs the quilting to begin. 

I  got a bit further on my Fandango Kaleidoscope. 

I have a finished top! Yeah for me! My goal is to layer and 

baste it this weekend. We shall see. 

I starting a few new little projects, but not quilts : (

Oh how I want to start a new one. 

Maybe if I work a little harder, get a bit more WIP finished up,

I can finally reward myself with something new.  

For some summer inspiration and to see what 

others are up to, head on over 

to Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday.

What have you been working on?
