WIP Update

Time for another work in progress update.

This is more for me than anyone else.

So bear with me.

;)

This is the current state of a table runner I'm working on.

When the square is finished off, it will be half the finished size.

Well... that's the plan.

I may like the square size and stop there.

That's the beauty of quilting.

You can make it however you want.

I find it to be quite relaxing to do the hand piecing.

As you can see, they're fairly small.

3/4" hexagons.

If I ever do hexies again, I think I'll try a bigger size.

I've been seeing lots of grandmother's flower garden quilts that look very tempting.

Maybe that should go on a quilting bucket list.

These awesome red clips were a Christmas gift.

I can't tell you how much I love my Wonder Clips!

They're like miniature close pins only better.

I have batting on the way for Connor's quilt. So I should be sandwiching and basting it soon.

I still haven't decided how I'm quilting it, let alone if it will be hand or machine quilted.

Connor's vote is for machine quilting so he can have it sooner!

I also ordered some flannel backing material for our king sized blue jean quilt.

I have lots of piecing to do on this quilt.

It's no where near being completed.

Like all quilters, I have a dozen ideas floating around in my noggin.

I would like to try to make a backgammon mini quilt.

I think I'll make it out some of my dad's ties.

(I've got two bags of them that I saved just for quilting.)

It would be a nice tribute to him as he loved backgammon too.

I'd also like to tackle repairing some old family quilts. One of them is made from wool coats.

I call it the lead apron quilt... that's what it feels like to be under it.

I'd also like to make a half-square triangle sampler quilt.

That's a lot of goals for the year. I better quit and go quilt!
