Works in Progress Wednesday - The Early Edition

First WIP post of 2013! I'm posting this early because any non-child time tomorrow will be spent prepping for my lecture at the Richmond Area Quilt Guild tomorrow night. Very excited, but nervous too.

So what have I been up to since my last report? A lot!

New Projects:

Scrappy Trip Along: I took a sip of the Scrappy Trip Along Kool-Aid last week and I'm hooked. Did another 'test block' to see if this is what I'll ask my bee mates to make for the Simply Solids Carmine group (so my colour!). I suspect that I may 'test' this block some more. ;)

Completed Projects:

Commissioned Wee Spy: Started and completed. Will share photos once the quilt arrives in sunny Burbank, California.


Current Projects: 

Su{Brrr}nova: Top complete and I love, love, love it! More details here.


Seeing the Forest for the Trees QuiltIt's back on the design wall this week and I can't thank you all enough for your feedback yesterday. I tried out Debbie's idea of flipping the trees so the 2nd and 4th rows are reflections of the 1st and 3rd. I also played around some more with the layouts and tried having the trees all upright. I think I've settled on the layout now, but I'll leave that as a surprise for Friday. :)

  1. Do you know I actually happen to have strips already sewn together in twosy sets, it wouldn't take much for me to drink a little kool aid with ya! Your test blocks have actually tempted me (the others make me say, oh isn't that nice). Well thanks for sharing, I guess we all better get our scrappy-selves in line!

  15. I see you are in the simply solids bee too! I still have to think of a block, but this trippy thing is a great idea! I am not a huge fan of it, but if it was all solids... maybe! Your Super(brr)nova is awesome too! Is there a pattern or block for that?
