I have made major progress on my Chain Link. I know, I've been working on this one forever! I am determined to finish the top for my guild meeting on Monday and I'm in the home stretch!
I finished all of my blocks and trimmed them. This is a step I used to step but after I tried it a couple of quilts ago, I'll never go back! The piecing is so easy if you trim your blocks!!
Plus, I just love the way the trimming look in the trash can. Weird, I know.
And of course, my helper, Marta. She literally laid on top of my feet when I was trimming.
I also finished my Name Game Swap Mini!!! Sooooo happy with it. I mailed it today, it should get there on Friday, so next week I should be able to show you the whole thing, but until then, here's a peek of the quilting I did on it.
I told myself that if I finished my Chain Link and my Name Game, I can start working on my Flying Geese again, so I should be able to pick that up again by next week!
Expect I always have Farmer's Wife blocks to do. Always.
You have been busy! I'm a big believer in trimming too. It makes sewing the blocks together much easier.
I love the way trimmings look in the trash (or in the pile next to my cutting mat) too! Those blocks look awesome! ANd I LOVE those blocks!! SO awesome!
I love everything you're working on, and I also love your dog and the trimmings. I'm glad I'm not the only one who posts pictures of fabric trimmings LOL!
I just have to think of the paper you could make out of the trimmings - but I really don't want to go there - I don't need another project. I really like the chain link blocks. Hehe I can tell you I don't like the pineapple block jsut from looking at it, to many parts, too much pressing, too many seems to go wrong. Well done though!
Lol, love your helper, and I love the trimmings too, we're all nuts together!
I so glad to see I am not alone... I am a sucker for trimmings too. Maybe because that pile is always a good sign that putting the blocks together just got alot easier.
I love my Pineapple block! See I always wanted a Pineapple quilt but wasn't sure I would want to make enough blocks for one. Now you know why I chose that as my block... the funny thing is, I made the one I made and decided it wasn't that bad and if I chain pieced them I don't think I'd mind making a whole quilt.
I love that block with the solids too. Reminds me that summer is almost right around the corner with all of it's sunny goodness!
