it may seem like i haven't been doing much in the quilting department, but lately, it's all i feel like doing. i have 2.5 more weeks before my due date, and i think that my nesting instinct is exhibiting itself in the form of quilting. i could sit at my sewing machine all day, but alas my kids don't really like that.
i joined the 9 patch quilt-along with amandajean...i did, but i didn't. i didn't do a square everyday, and i didn't do 70 squares. i of course made my quilt smaller, someday i hope to brave larger quilts, but this one is going to be a good lap size, good enough for me anyway. in a perfect world i can get this one basted in the next few days and quilted before the baby comes. i have also been working on this quilt, and should have the top finished today???
and another baby quilt, that i can't reveal just yet.
Oh, I love this. I love watching everyone's one-block-a-day quilts come together.
ReplyDeleteI haven't started sashing my quilt yet. Maybe this weekend? I feel so accomplished getting the 70 blocks done that I want to stop and admire my work!
I definitely meant to do the one-block-a-day quilt. Didn't even get started. This is going to be really cute. And I LOVE the blue and orange quilt with the stars.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have come across your blog, LOVE your quilts, it will be perfect for your new little one when the time arrives - good luck :)
ReplyDeleteBoth quilt tops are gorgeous! Love the colours. I can't imagine crawling on the ground to baste a quilt when you're probably out to there hehe
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt top; nice to have somthing else to think of than just waiting. I would probably leave the basting part to someone else:-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
i'm excited to see the full reveal of the 9 patch quilt.
ReplyDeleteand now i'm curious, did you go with blue blocks for the setting of the star quilt?
I like your block-a-day, yet not block-a-day quilt! You're definitely further along than I am. I really love the big quilt you "should" be working on, as you say - that is quite a challenge but extremely attractive!! I hope all goes well with the baby's arrival
ReplyDeleteLovely collection of nine-patches. Looks like the perfect quilt for a baby roll around on. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't believe your baby is almost here! (I'm sure you can well believe it by now.) Good luck with everything - all those last bits of nesting are a great way to keep your eyes off the calendar. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you did the right thing in making the 9 patch quilt smaller. It's a monster! (I'm going to be basting mine today.)
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the whole mesting thing!
Both those quilts are wonderful. I can't wait to see how you quilt them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so nice! I started out small and worked my way up to bigger one.
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting!
Love what I am seeing! Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts and colors!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in this. Can't wait to see the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteyou must be getting so excited! i remember that surge of energy right before the baby...enjoy and get lots done.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting at least some of it done! :) I only have 19 more days until my due date- we must be close! :)
