London Calling - Blocks 7, 8, 9

 More blocks ready for London Calling.  Cutting one each of different fabrics and sizes is not my strong suit.  These little blocks are definitely a challenge and either I'm mixed up (which is always possible)  or there is error in naming fabric numbers in the instructions.  Thank goodness for color images.  Dont look too closely at my block #9,  the wheels on the bus that go round and round -- mine are more like Fred Flinstones.


My Block 7 & 8 both required alot of unstitching and re-doing.  It was not my best day.


Block # 9  gives you a bit of a choppy ride on the bus. (no refunds). I am quite happy with the clock.


This is all the progress I have to offer this week as I've been spending my stolen moments quilting on a twin bed size quilt.  

I'm joining these linky parties this week.  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

Autumn in Ohio

Is this a catchy name for a bed quilt made of Ohio Stars in Autumn colors?  I started piecing this in April of 2022.  Of course, it got set aside several times.  Then you reach a point where it's time to get it done and move on.  

I quilted it on my Janome Versa Sit Down.  It was quite a job pushing the 90 x 98 quilt about while free motion quilting.  I used assorted colors of Glide thread with 80/20 batting.  I finished quilting it in February and it took several evening sessions to hand stitch the binding down.  My hand joints feel it too. The backing is a tan speckled extra wide print from Kansas Troubles.



I am delighted to have this huge UFO finished.  I am joining these linky parties this week.  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

Alpha 3- yard Quilt and Starry Night 3-yard Quilt finishes

 I've been quilting up some recently made flimsies.  The first is Alpha which is a 3 yard quilt pattern offered by MaterialGirlfriends.com.  My version finished at 47 x 55.  I quilted it with Glide thread.  You can see the bottom corner reveals the backing which is a red/black plaid fleece.




My other finish is another 3-yard quilt pattern; this one offered by sewcanshe.com.   The pattern is called Stars and Ladders.  My version finished at 45 x 57. 


I quilted it with Glide thread.  The back is a fleece design that works very well with this quilt.  Both quilts have 80/20 batting.

These quilts will be donated to Miriam's Closet which is a church mission that serves local area foster children.

I'm joining these linky parties this week.  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.
