Design Wall Monday Aug 27, 2012

Can you believe we are in the last week of August ALREADY? Well, I can! Drew has started his 3rd full week of school..and none too soon for me. That kid was getting BORED!

Here is what I am working on this week:

On  the design wall is a baby quilt with a camping/out door theme, lots of orphan/UFO blocks (the feathered star, sq with in a sq and Night and Day), and a couple blocks from the Christmas Town Sampler. I have more that are in various stages. They are just not quite done and ready for hang up.

This is a tote I am making for me. All that is left is the binding around the outside edges. I will

use that as a take along project for the week.

Here is a close up of the pocket. I looked and looked for pre-quilted fabric. There is not much out there and it ALL looks alike. I have had this crossword quilt fabric for a long time. It will probably make it into a vest (I collect vest fab...but dont' make many vests!), but it was perfect for the pocket.

The green dot came from Hobby Lobby and I quilted it all on Lucy. She did a very nice job! I just followed the lines of the crosswords, and then cut out the pieces when I was done. The green is quilted in my version of Judi's Feather swirl. To see a video tutorial, head over to The Green Fairy.
