"Madeline" top complete!

Finished piecing the Schnibble pattern "Madeline" today. I was tired of her screaming at me from her plastic container! I had stashed her away after cutting the pieces a few weeks ago. I kept getting side tracked on other projects. I made a mistake piecing her..... can you figure out where? I only noticed it after I took the pictures and was editing them. (hint: lower right corner) Oh well... I'm not going to take her apart. It will just have to stay there! Adds character!

Not to much time for sewing this week. Have had appointments, errands and other time consuming things eat into my crafting time. I was able to hand piece a smidge on my "Grandmother's Flower Garden". Next week will be even more hectic as we ready for our trip to Witchita Falls, Texas to see our son graduate from Air Force flight school. We are driving our RV out so it takes us 3 or 4 days to get it set to travel.

I hope to get the "Garden Lattice" mostly finished tomorrow (except for the border, I want to applique that). Will post pics if I do manage to get it together.

Happy Quilting!

Productive day!

Spent most of the morning adding two more rows to my Garden Lattice quilt. It is made with the "Eden" fabric line from Moda. I decided that I wanted to make it a smidge bigger, so I had to order one more charm pack. I could have finished it with the 4 packs, but I saved out a bunch of the darker pieces to do some applique flowers on the border. The extra pack should arrive in a couple days, then I can finish it!

After ordering my extra pack I dug into the p.s. i quilt's pinwheel blocks for this week. I was really happy with the blue color way, but not so crazy about the red. I am seriously considering remaking the red with a different color to replace the light blue.

My sweetie had choir practice tonight, so after dinner and he had left I dug out the wee Schnibbles "Madeline" and started piecing it. I was able to get 4 of the tiny blocks done before I was tuckered out. No pictures yet as I hadn't ironed the blocks yet.

So got alot done today!

Happy Quilting!

Chopping away...

Spent most of today cutting up fabric. I wanted to start my wee Schnibbles "Madeline" quilt. This is my first time using charm packs and I have to say I found it a bit nerve wracking cutting out all the tiny pieces. I am a "rounder" person, if a pattern calls for a yard, I buy 1 1/2 yards. I make mistakes and it is a safety net to have that extra fabric I know I can fall back on.

When I read the fabric requirements and it said 2 charm packs, that is what I bought. I wouldn't let myself buy a 3rd for the safety net. So the entire time I was cutting the pieces, I kept checking and rechecking the measurements. Whew, a bit stressful! But I think I got it right..... I hope.....

Also had to replenish all the 2 1/2" blocks for my leader-ender shaded 9 patch that I am working in between projects. There is another shoebox full that I didn't get a picture of. So I should be set to get sewing.... but first I promised my Maggie Mae I would take her for a walk since it is such a gorgeous day!

Happy Quilting!
