Design Wall Monday

First: my stats for Bonnie Hunter's

Celtic Solstice mystery - 

I mainly worked on the Chevrons

and still have miles to sew 

for steps 3 + 4 + 5...

Step 1 - done (in box)

Step 2 - 94 of 100 Chevrons, almost there!!!

Step 3 - 7 pinwheel blocks of 25

Step 4 - 25 of 120 Four-patch

Step 5 - 0 of 100 split triangle unit...

Then I gave myself a xmas present,

used some stash and this is the result:

a Hashtag soon-to-be quilt top, 

pattern by Camille at Thimble Blossoms,

part of her Craftsy Class.

I really enjoy her way of 

organizing and sewing!

I used Bonnie's method of

webbing the top for the first time

and could only put 

one sashing strip on my lay-out.

The webbing method works better

with sashing strips and cornerstones,

but I had to try it and like it!

Love how the border fabric fits the block pattern!

Fabric is a Jelly roll of Chicopee and Kona white.

The border is Florence, also from Denyse Schmidt.

I am really hoping to finish my Hashtag top today,

then pull out the blocks of Judy's "Fit for a Hero" quilt,

get the corner blocks sewn 

and the top prepared for her pieced borders.

I am off all week

and we'll see what I can manage,

not to forget my December goal 

of getting 5 more blocks done fore Fractured..

I almost forgot:

as xmas presents I made several

folded star trivetrs,

following  Bronze Wombat's tutorial- 

This was my first one 

and the color choices not yet perfect.

My 2nd one - I only got an incomplete shot

Luckily I am off all week

and should have time 

to get quite some sewing done!

Linking up to 

Bonnie's mystery check-in 

and 

Judy's Design Wall Monday.

Happy New Year!
