Floral Reflections

Posted on September 23, 2020 | 14 comments

Now that the Let’s Sew quilt is finished, the next project on my Focus 2020 list that I choose to tackle is Floral Reflections. I talked about this project back in November 2019.

There have been several updates since then.

I don’t have photos of it, but I am currently stitching in the ditch all of the sashing and border seams. Most of the basting pins are now removed, and the quilt is easier to handle.

I thought that I would be traditional and quilt hanging diamonds, but I have changed my mind. I am machine quilting, and I don’t want to quilt over the applique, nor do I want to break thread.

Therefore, I will be outline stitching the applique and stitching a filler design in the blocks.

Quilt On!

How I Spent My Saturday Afternoon

Posted on May 17, 2020 | 24 comments

I had a very pleasant Saturday afternoon off from the day job, so I spent the time doing some prep work for sewing.

Bonnie Hunter had a leader/ender bow tie challenge back in 2011. I decided to make this quilt back in 2018 (you can see that post here, and you will find a link to BH). No hurry. Nope. None at all.

I’ve been out of cut squares to make more bow tie blocks, so I cut a few more. I don’t have a picture of those, but I do have a picture of the finished blocks.

There are more than 578 little bow ties in this basket!
