I did finish the three City Sampler blocks scheduled for this week at Sew Sweetness:
I finished piecing Christmas tree skirt #1 ~ I know I said no more peeks, but here's a little one:
I ordered the fabric for the binding ~ so I just need to figure out what to do with the back.
Last but not least ~ I cut into the Winter's Lane layer cake for Christmas tree skirt #2 and finished sorting all the 5" squares into a layout that I can live with. (I consider that a "sort-of" finish!) I'm thinking of doing a disappearing 9-patch for this one. I've never done one before, but I love the pattern and it looks pretty straight-forward, so I think I can handle it!
Here's a first peek at that one (please excuse the yellow and blue bedspread ~ I really need to put up a design wall!):
So that's it for this week ~ I'm linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts for finish it up Friday. I'm totally jealous of her handmade scrap baskets ~ maybe once Christmas is over ... :)
Like your City blocks. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much ~ These sampler blocks are great practice for a newbie like me. :) I love your latest quilt finish, but I LOVE the first trip around quilt with the black & white & bright colors!
DeleteLots of sewing goodness. Thanks for sharing Marie (mlismore@optusnet.com.au)
ReplyDeleteThanks ~ I love your little Wee Village pillow ~ so cute!
DeleteAhh those city blocks! Lovely! Making me wish mine were higher up on the priority list :)
ReplyDeletesharpie ~ I know what you mean ~ some weeks they just kind of get buried underneath all the other stuff and I usually have to play catch-up!
