WIPW #5 - 1/15/14

Now that the holiday madness is over, I've been able to get back to my beloved WIPs.

Here is some progress on the PoD:
This is block #16/30 and one of my favorites so far. I love really love the warm colors and the wee little broomstick.


&& my diamond quilt:
6 of these bad boys puts me at 50 blocks completed for this quilt so far.


&& progress on my February UFO challenge piece:
Pieced, quilted, the back is made (including a covered zipper), binding machine stitched down.  All I have left is hand sewing the binding down and my Valentine's throw pillow will be done on time.

&& some progress on my April UFO challenge piece:
Working on the piecing for the Foxy Tumblers baby quilt. I will be adding some borders once these rows are sewn together.

&& some progress on my June UFO challenge piece/SMQ Bee quilt (for Shain):
I am making a few sample blocks that I will post when I request blocks for my month (March) from the SMQ Bee.  I am going to ask for improv slab blocks in medium to dark blues with one brown piece, unfinished size 12 1/2" inches.  I LOVE the whale fabric at the top of the block!

&& last but not least, my newest WIP, the FLSPQ (Friends of Letchworth State Park Quilt):
Oh my stars and garters, another all batik quilt? Including hand dyed batik by yours truly (not shown)? Indeed.


Keep calm and stitch on!

    These look great! I especially love the heart quilting on your "Love" mini. I have seen it done with loops, but never would have thought of using hearts.

      Thanks Jasmine! My hearts are pretty wonky but they were fun; I will definitely use them again. FMQ can be really hard!
