Awhile back, I was working on an Amish-style wall hanging in a "Trip Around the World" pattern. It was a little tedious sewing together squares that end up 1 inch by one inch, but it was coming together well. I got it mostly sewn together, except for the last three rows. Then ... the knitting and crocheting bug hit, and off I went on that tangent. So a little stack of 3-rows'-worth of plain-colored squares has been sitting on my table for .... uh .... a LONG time. Today I finally put some of the knitting and crocheting away for awhile, and got back on some quilting projects. High on the list was to get these LAST THREE ROWS DONE. So here, I've sewn the rows, and am now pinning them on and sewing them one by one.
Ta-daaa! Now all it needs is a border, then to be quilted and bound. I have a lot of projects on my list that need "borders, quilted and bound." It's cutting border material that puts me off. So I'll just have to sit down and tackle that particular step sometime.

Then, something new I started today was to begin cutting out pieces for a "Tumblers" pattern quilt. Probably not a big quilt, but colorful for sure.
very pretty! those solid colors really are pleasing to the eye I think.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rhonda! It's interesting how different color combos can have totally different effects.
ReplyDeleteRhonda...I love thumblers. I have one which is a UFO from my quilt group theme of one patch scrap quilts years ago. I made a couple of quilts and had this one going but sat it aside to work on other themes for the group. I keep thinking this will be the year to get it out but have other UFOs to do too.
ReplyDeleteLove your Amish Trip Around the World. They are fun but tedious. Again the Amish was a theme one year for my quilt group. We did all miniature quilts to be made into one big sampler. They did not like me so well as our TATW was only 1/2" squares...lol. Will you be handquilting this one?
