WIP Wednesday

Getting this post in under the wire for Lee's linky party:

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

MADE MAJOR PROGRESS ON...

Sew Fresh Fabrics Scrap Bee block (finished).

Supernova! The top is all pieced!

I am getting a full frontal of it tomorrow (Thursday) when I bring the quilt top to the VMQG meeting. Tonight, I am getting a head start on the back, I think. Or maybe I will work on...

Wonder Wheel!

Wonder Wheel

This is where it sat this morning. I'm thinking of two rows of the skinny border. In any case, I need some more brown for the outer border - I don't have enough of the Quilters Linen to make it and no other brown in my stash works. My lovely Kona Colour Card tells me that Coffee is the shade I need to purchase at Spool of Thread. The sewing lounge hosts the VMQG meetings AND has all 200+ colours of Kona available. And they also got a shipment of Ruby Star Rising. *bliss*

MADE NO PROGRESS ON...
Everything else.

OTHER PROJECTS/TO-DOs ON THE GO

Sew Buzzy block for Vicky - a bookshelf block that looks really fun.
Sew & Bee Happy block for Hannah - scrappy blues and greys. Scraps have been pulled, just need to be cut and pieced.
Maple Leaf Bee block for Valerie - orange and Kona Coal in a fab stacked strips formation.

Lots to do, but it keeps me out of trouble. More or less.

  6. Wish I was going to be there to see the Supernova in person tonight! Ellie's just a bit too fussy in the evenings still for me to get out. I hope to make the May meeting!

    Have fun fabric shopping at the meeting - haven't seen Ruby Star Rising in person yet. Which print do you love best?

  13. I'm not sure I can say this, but I think your supernova is one of the only ones I've seen that I think, "Oh, I would make that." The sneak peek looks wonderful!
