Design Wall Monday

As always I am juggling 
several projects at once.
First up is my August UFO project - 
Quilting Easy Street:
I have chosen dimpled Minky as backing
(a first for me)
- no batting - 
and am using the Flaired Clam shell EZ boards
(you can see the white boards on the left).

And one more picture:
I just love how it's turning out!
Hope I can finish quilting
 by the end of the month!

Then I worked on getting the latest step
of the Star Surround QA done.
We made the corner and side units:

Meantime I continue to sew
on the x & + quilt - 
and then there were 9 blocks

And just because,
have a look at my latest visitor:
Sitting on my Rhododendron,
and having a good time ( I hope).
He can stay as long as he wants,
nothing like Judy's scorpions...

Linking up to Judy's Patchwork Place,
Barb

  1. Green frogs are fun to watch. They would congregate on my kitchen window at night catching insects attracted to the light. Then the green lizards took over. The light burnt out and my visitors stop coming. Guess they were there for the food not the company!

  2. love the fabrics in your x+ quilt! Do you realize that there is a different layout of the one in the bottom right corner? I'm pointing it out to you because if it wasn't intentionally different, I would want someone to tell me before I got it all stitched up in a quilt. If you did it intentionally, the little O looks cute in the midst of all of the X's.

  3. If your Easy Street is anything like mine, it is huge and takes forever to quilt. But, oh, it is so striking.

  7. Love, love, love the x and +! I made one last year and it's one of my favorites. I don't think I've seen one that I didn't like.

  10. I really love your quilts. I have to ask, how is the Minkee to work with? I haven't been brave enough to try it! And I have to say, the frogs are pretty cute but I hope that it is outside!!!
