Design Wall Monday

A quick look at all the quilty projects that are going on at my house.

* Neptune Hexagon quilt: the half blocks are finally sewn together & the last 6 strip sets are don - I just; need to cut them and decide on which block design to use

* Cowboy Circle Around: top finished, backing sewn, trying to decide on the quilting.

* and finally 4 Summer Siesta Blocks with the final(?) sashing material choice

Please go to Patchwork Times and look at so many other talented quilters and their design walls.

Design Wall Monday

For Design Wall Monday I have photos of 2 projects.

First up is the final lay-out & size of the Cowboy Circle Around. All blocks are done, setting in 5 x 7, now to sew them together and the top is done.

And what started as a 1 block test, ended up being 4 blocks for a quick wall hanging for myself. Three blocks are completed and 1 is almost there. The pattern is called Summer Siesta ( Quiltmaker May/ June 2010 by T. Eisinger). I followed her color scheme with pieces from my stash. These are  huge blocks with 14 1/2 inch square - well, at least huge for me.

That's it from my design wall - please go to Patchwork Times and have a look at other quilting design walls!

Happy Monday,

Barb

Guess what: after a longer break I finally went back to the fitness center:

No bugs, not many people, heaven!

And so far my lower back is cooperating!

My design wall hasn't changed too much - but all the circles & outside circles are sewn onto the blocks of the Circle Around Cowboy Quilt Top. I added another fabric and now I am playing arund with the final lay-out.

Please go and check other design walls by going here!

I fell into a sewing 'hole' after having finished the Memorial Quilt by Judy. But on Saturday while it was raining, I grabbed some fabrics to try out 2 different patterns with 2 special rulers that have been hanging out at my house for far too long without any action....

One is the New Wave by Elizabeth Hartman from OhFransson! and the other one is Circle Around from Julie at Jaybirdquilts published in the Quilts and more magazine. I used some Cowboy fabric with the hope of making some boy quilts out of my playing around.

Oh, yes, I also finished block # 7 of the Jelly Roll Quilt Sampler, hours before the deadline ;)

And some more sewing for the Hexagon Quilt Along, but nothing cut yet.

 

Unfortunately blogger is still a mess and moving photos is not an option today.
Please go to Judy's place and check other design walls!
 
And last but not least a quick picture of my Cheer-me-up Rainbow colored jelly roll:
