FWMQG Solids Challenge

I am really excited about this quilt! I purchased Becoming a Confident Quilter with a Christmas Gift Card, and I loved this quilt in the book (Less is More). I thought it would be perfect for the FWMQG Solids Challenge!



I used a FQ bundle of Kona solids, and changed up the pattern a bit to use what I had. I paired dark and light shades of most colors (I paired yellow and light orange and red and dark orange) and used Kona Ash for the centers of each block. The background is Kona Steel, and I like the blue-ness of the grey with these colors. This was a quick quilt to put together and I really like it. Now to make a backing and decide how to quilt it!

WIP Wednesday

It seems like it's been forever since I've done a WIP Wednesday post! I keep meaning too, and then it's 10:30 on Wednesday night and I remember I didn't get to it on my way to bed.



I finished my quilt top for the FWMQG BOM. Now to get it quilted and bound before our December meeting!



I'm hoping to get this one basted this weekend so I can start quilting it. I'm thinking it will be a Christmas gift for my father in law.



This one I am loving - and since I probably won't be able to give it away, it won't be basted and quilted until after the holidays.

I've also got three more quilts that just need to be bound, and I'm trying to decide if I can squeeze in another quilt before Christmas. And that doesn't include the kid's Christmas outfits I need to sew, and all the gifts I'm working on, plus my knitting and design work! It's going to be a busy few weeks around here!

WIP Wednesday

I haven't done much sewing this week. I did make the girls dresses and make the Easter basket goodies. Today I was excited to get my Simply Color quilt basted and get the quilt top for our impending arrival all sewn up. My mom is visiting this weekend, so I won't be sewing much, but I might get some fabric cut for the next quilts!

WIP Wednesday - in color!

I am very excited about this quilt top! On a bit of a whim, I purchased half yards of the Simply Color ombres. I decided to cut them into 2.5" squares and patchwork them back together. I love how it looks like so many more different colors! Now to choose backing fabrics and decide how to quilt it!

WIP Wednesday - 2 quilt tops!

I am so excited to have both of these quilt tops finished to show off today. I had hoped to have another finished, but I'll take what I can get!  It has been nice to have more time for sewing this week - last week I had lots of paperwork stuff and other deadlines to attend to, so it's nice to have a somewhat relaxing week!



Now I just need to decide on backing for both of these and get them basted! I bought 10 yards of batting the last time it was on sale at JoAnn's, so I should have plenty for these two and the other I'm working on.
