I inadvertently spent all of International Quilt Day sewing, which is in no way a bad thing, I just hadn’t realised what day it was at the time! I got almost an entire quilt top done that day (the rest having been done the weekend before) and on Sunday I got the last blocks for my Brit Bee quilt done. This week I won’t be as productive at sewing quilt tops, but on Saturday I’m going to be having a go on a long arm for the first time – I can’t wait!
Finishes This Week:
None, but I’m good with that!
In Progress This Week:
Madrona Corners – top done, photos to follow when it stops precipitating, especially the white stuff!
Retro Flowers – remaining blocks needed for my quilt done:
To Be Worked On This Week:
Quilting Madrona Corners
Assembling my Retro Flowers top
Finishing my NYB cushion – I ordered the surrounding fabric in a great deal from the Oakshott specials section (since my NYB is from the Oakshott sunrise bundle), so I’m hoping that will be a quick finish, as I’m not intending to actually quilt it.
Linking up, as ever, to:
I love Retro Flowers in any colourway but especially these orange ones. I think orange is underrated in quilting!
Go Retro Flowers, Go! I can't wait to see this beauty!
You are so lucky to be having a play on a long arm, I can imagine you need good arm strength to work it!!
Can't wait to see your Madrona Corners!
those retro flowers are simply amazing!!!!!
Love the retro flowers, but then i told you that already, now get on with it and stop talking about it!! :o)
I think the retro flowers will be very special – I am very envious. juliex
Oh those flowers are so pretty, I love how you limited the color palette!
Retro flowers looking fabulous… great colour combo!
My plan is to make a retro flowers quilt in the next 6 weeks, though it's the least important of a 4 quilt pile that needs finishing. I really love yours and can't wait to see the whole top. I am really partial to the oranges you've used 🙂
Fabulous retro flowers.
I really love those retro flowers . How hard are they to do? (Because Im seeing a flowery quilt in my future if you tell me they wont drive me insane !)
Snowing? It was supposed to rain here today. Sadly, nothing…Your retro flowers are so cheery in orange. Well, anything in orange is cheery to me.
Love your Retro Flowers! So yummylicious!
I love the retro flowers….love love love 🙂
You're just stretching out the Medrona road quilt to keep us in suspense… I'm beginning to wonder if it really exists…
Can't you give us at least a sneaky peek of Madrona Road quilt? The suspense is killing me. Gah!
Retro Flower blocks are lovely, hope you have a great time with the long arm!
Love the retro flowers in that color combo. No snow here just more rain.
Your retro flowers are making me want to buy that pattern, but the next quilt I have to make is for a guy. Shucks!
I need to make a Retro Flowers quilt too. I have everything pulled for it, including the fabric, I just haven't gotten around to starting it yet. Maybe because I know my mom has already claimed the quilt and I won't be keeping it.
I love the retro flowers! I seriously need to learn to piece curves so I can give it a shot 🙂
The Retro Flowers are great! The orange and gray are really nice together.
your retro flowers are looking really good. It's one of my favorite patterns
