WIP Wednesday Under The Wire

It's still Wednesday here in the Pacific Time zone!

Went away for a few days over Easter, so no sewing time. Lots of wine-drinking time, though so I'll call it a wash. A delicious winey wash.

MADE SOME PROGRESS ON...

wonder wheel top complete

Wonder Wheel! I ran out of the Quilter's Linen and I discovered that Kona Coffee looks pretty much the same so I used that for the outer border. I didn't measure the top very well when I was cutting my outer borders and managed to cut the last two pieces about 3/4" short. Yes, that's the primal scream you heard the other night.

But here's how I fixed it - the little pieced rectangles of scraps! Someone else far more creative than I did it in their quilt-along blocks (I can't seem to find the photo right now) so I copied. That's an example of how to make a cutting error work in your favour!

There's still some floofy jazz going on around the circle but I plan to quilt it out then ignore it if it doesn't disappear.

MADE A TEENSY BIT OF PROGRES ON...


Supernova - backing in progress

NO PROGRESS ON...

Everything else. I have some bee blocks requiring my attention. Good thing I have three days off work!

Did you check out what everyone else was doing over at Lee's?

  2. Awesome look masking your little "boo boo", I'm doing it on my Robert Kaufman quilt because I ran out of white binding!

    Love the Color Wheel!

  6. Good luck with that floofy jazz, I'm sure you can quilt it into submission. Are you sure that primal scream wasn't for Burrows' incredible OT game-winning goal? Mine was!
