WIP Thursday

The Yellow Strippy Stars twin-sized charity quilt is loaded on the machine for quilting. It was interesting to work with a striped fabric in the background, a soft yellow and cream. The star centers are 6" string blocks, and alternating blocks have points made with my sashing stars ruler. The background fabric was so short that the outer borders are narrower and 4" pieced corner blocks were needed.

Four flannel burp cloths for charity have been strip-pieced, now need to find backing fabric and quilt them.

Two hourglass charity twin-sized quilts are being pieced. The starting point was a kit for a wallhanging (10 FQ/s?) and a few more FQs. As the triangles were being cut out, it became clear that for better contrast some lights were needed. Stash diving yielded quite a mix of fabrics. Adding alternate plain blocks pushed the project to be two quilts, also making block intersections less lumpy.

Finished Sunday - 4 baby bibs, and the new Dritz snap tool worked great. Interfacing on both layers make them secure. The bibs are backed with a lightweight terrycloth, and my usual velcro tabs would have stuck to it in the wrong places. Velco tabs are fussy to stitch, and the next batch of charity bibs should use them up.
