Design Wall Monday

Ok, after yet another unplanned blogging break

I am back with my latest projects:

finished the quilting on Hashtag quilt today
and just sewed the binding

to the front.

It's my April UFO 

and I better get the binding
hand stitched to the back

by Wednesday April 30th...

Also sewn is the HST Charity top,

minus the border:

(oops, the quilt underneath 

is showing on bottom edge, sorry)

And I have been playing around with Hexagons

for the Quilt Guild challenge:

used some Honeycomb "Sunnyside"

and Craftsy Class pattern "Juggle" by Camille Roskelley,

trying to decide on background fabric:

Then I got Sarah  Fielke's book 

"Hand quilted with love"

from the library and

love her "Bangles quilt",

but not so much the hand sewing or y-seams.

So here is my easy Bangles approach:

sew 6 pentagons from her pattern into a hexie ring

and applique them on your background fabric!

See the first test ring on the left:

If I am attempting this quilt

I'll be using raw edge on white fabric,

even with some white edges showing thru

between the rings,

I imagine it's going to look fabulous!

So what have you been up to?

Hopefully some sewing made it into your schedule!

Back to sewing my binding,

the clock is ticking,
