WIP Wednesday {5.11.2011}

Better late than never here, sneaking in a WIP Wednesday post at the 11th hour!

Completed Projects

Scrappy Rainbow Quilt

I finished up the quilting and binding on the Scrappy Rainbow quilt, and after a quick trip through the washer and dryer for some crinkley goodness this quilt is nestled on the couch and ready for some snuggling!

Project Pillow Makeover

Making pillows for the couch has been on my to do list for some time now, and this weekend I got down to it.  I used mostly prints that I picked up at Joann's mixed with a few solids and now these lovelies are giving my living room a much needed mini facelift.  More on the designs are here and here.

New/In progress Projects

Perfectly Pleated Clutch

This months bag in the Amy Butler Sew Along hosted by Bree of My Crafty Crap is the Perfectly Pleated Clutch.  Now,  I haven't exactly been keeping up with every bag each month, but from the time I purchased this book, I knew this was a "must make" for me.  

I am using these Kitty Yoshida Prospect Park prints for the main outside part and the lining, and am still partially undecided on the fabric for the top band.

I have one of the pleated panels completed, and I must say, I'm in love.  I just love the way these pleats look and am itching to get the bag sewn together and take it out on the town!

As for the band at the top of the bag, I was initially thinking of this coordinating Prospect Park floral print on the left, but I wasn't overly crazy about it.  I happened to set the pleated portion next to this Black/Grey Riley Blake Bead Chain print that I picked up at my favorite LQS this weekend, and I think I really like it!  I'm hoping to get this bag finished up in the next few days, so stay tuned!

Sew Fun/Solid Bee

June is my month for both the Solid Bee and the Sew Fun Bee, and I think I want to add to the Spiderweb blocks I had my bee mates in the Simply Strings Bee make for me back in the fall.

I need to cut this stack of fabric down into 24 packages to be sent out at the end of the month, good thing me and my rotary cutter are good friends, because we will be spending a lot of time together.  I'm really excited to get all these blocks back and get a quilt top put together though!
