So, this is my quilt of (too) many colors! You can see here 9 rows, the top has 13 rows. - 90"x90" ( what size is this ? I made it 10" wider that I planned!); - 163 blocks; - It was a challenge to make it! All the steps in making this pattern are time consuming and cutting the triangles from strips and pressing are the most annoying ones. I pieced the top in vertical rows … [Read more...]
Making progress on a new quilt
Do you remember that I am working on a quilt with many colors? I am using all the colors from three Kona cotton jelly rolls. This will be indeed a very colorful quilt- I need many blocks so I had to use even brown, gray, tan and all these neutral colors that I am not too fond of. This is probably the less urgent project I have to make in the next month but I have a thought that … [Read more...]
Jewel Box Quilt Finished
I am so happy I finished an UFO. Many others are still waiting.... The quilting ? Nothing fancy - quick and simple. I made it for my mother. She already saw it (and she loves it) but she thinks it is mine. I still have to add the binding then I will lay it on her bed and I will be prepared to listen that she loves it very much but she really, really doesn't need a new quilt. But … [Read more...]
Quilt Top Finished
Here is the top of my new quilt. I would have loved to add some pieced borders (because it is a little shorter) but I ran out of tan fabric. I was a little nervous while I pieced the blocks because I did not know how all these colors work together but I think the tan fabric tie them wonderfully! I love it ! Sure I would have loved it even more with white fabric instead of tan. But I … [Read more...]

Looking forward to a productive sewing week
Am I crazy or am I crazy? About green... Alex found my green fingernails very interesting and all the time he wanted to eat them. My sister just called me to say he ate cherries and it shows very well on the little castles quilt.Hopefully the stains will disappear after washing. If not, we can say that was a loved and used quilt. Tomorrow I will start to sew again on my noisy sewing … [Read more...]
Rows of Hexy Flowers
Two rows almost finished - I still have to add two flowers.A very good news- we need 60 flowers and we already have 42! We hope we will finish it by Christmas. My mother has no idea what surprise we prepare for her. She is always amazed by the patience we have to stitch the flowers (like we did not inherit it from her!).A little too colorful for my taste, but my mother loves it! Assembling the … [Read more...]
Colors, colors, colors…
For 10 years I have dreamed to have the entire Fossil Fern collection (at least in fat quarters!) and finally I managed to buy a charm pack! It doesn't matter these are just small squares, I have 100 colors! I don't know what I will use them for, but I am happy just looking at the wonderful pack. Here are the colors of the new quilt I started last week. These are the "leftovers" from … [Read more...]

An old project
Here are my latest bags. I started making them in February. I wanted to make a pattern for an easy and quick tote. With other pressing projects, I abandoned this idea. Here is the first version - it doesn't show in the picture but the two straps weren't the easiest things I have ever sewn. So I changed this and the second version was made with just one strap. I loved it but I found … [Read more...]
