Judy's Challange

I finished my squares border today. My favorite part of the pattern I think are the little squares so I wanted them to stand out the most. I made my squares by cutting strips 6" long sewing these strips and then cutting them for the border



This is really fun seeing everyone's quilts they are all so different.

Judy's Challange

I'm doing Judy's quilt for an hour challenge. I have a lot of extra things going on right now but I didn't want to miss out. I don't have friends that quilt. I don't go to any quilt guilds or retreats or classes. This blog and looking at others blogs is the only quilt communication I have with other people. I really enjoy bloging. I can do it on my own time. So I have been enjoying the challenge. I hope Judy does another one when this one is done. It's fun to see other peoples progress.

Anyway..............

Hour one day one. Hmmm I just moved my sewing stuff is still packed. I spent the hour pulling fabric finding my rotary cutter and matt. I then cut the fabrics for the hst.

So I started out being an hour behind on my first day. But it's great to start a new project. I haven't started one since March.

Tuesday day 2 I sewed up all the hst but did not get to cut them apart or press them.

Wednessday day 3 got the hst done.


Thursday day 4 started sewing the blocks together.

Weekend sewing

Worked on this 9 patch quilt this weekend I now have 6 circles done. It's been pretty slow going. But I think this quilt will be worth it. But if I think it's going to slow and I'm just never getting anywhere I'm going to let myself make this one into a baby quilt.

Lake Michigan

Nothing real quilty to share. Thought I'd post a picture of Lake Michigan. We went to a Nascar race and stopped at the southern tip of the lake for a day. What a beautiful lake. All the sand dunes where amazing. Water out as far as you can see. We did see a couple large ships heading out.



I always thought the North shore of Lake Superior was breath taking. But after seeing the sand dunes on the southern end of Lake Michigan. It makes me want to take the circle drive around all the great lakes someday. Who knows what I'm missing.

9 patches

Norma from Silver Thimble Quilting posted a 9 patch picture on her blog. Thought I would share the one I'm working on. I might change my mind and make one like hers this one is taking to much time to piece. I have all the 9 patches sewn most are left over from an earlier project. But I've only got one circle done. Pin and sew takes a long time

Oh the pattern is from a book I have called Easy Nine Patch Quilting. The skill level is experienced. I had to make my own patterns so my left over 9 patches would work. The pattern was called rainbow of rings. by Carol Schere

Moved In Mostly

Just wanted to post to say I'm connected again. We moved last week and just got the new phone and internet hooked up today. ( a week with out ) Did I say very fast internet. No more slow dial up. I feel guilty for not posting for awhile. Here is the only quilty thing I've done it's a dresden plate quilt I got a couple more blocks done. I take along a block and work on it when ever. I liked the pointy ends of this pattern. Trying to improve my applique skills. Bye for now off to catch up on the blog ring now.
