WIP Wednesday {5.4.2011}

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

Wednesday again??  Here's what I've been up to:

Completed Projects

3 x 6 bee blocks

3 x 6 beehive 24 2nd quarter 2011

These puppies were shipped off  to my 6 bees in the 3 x 6 bee, they have made it to their new homes safe and sound!  I had never made dresdens before, and after getting the hang of things and eliminating lumps and bumps, these are quite addicting!

New Projects/In Progress

Scrappy Quilt



Let the quilting begin!  I pulled this quilt top out and got to basting the other night, and last night had a monster quilting session.  Half done, half to go!


Here's a sneak peak of the back, I did a bunch of solid stripes of varying widths in colors that I had used on the front. I am calling this back the Rainbow Bright quilt back.  (remember those dolls??)  After I had pieced the back together, I couldn't decide if I liked it and contemplated ripping it out...but I've decided to embrace the rainbowy-ness and just go with it!  On a plus, it does show off the quilting quite nicely.  I am stepping out of my comfort zone with this one and did almost a block style free motion quilting, it reminds me of a maze.  I'm thinking 1-2 more quilting sessions and this will be ready for binding!

  4. That scrappy quilt is gorgeous & so fun with all the colors. I really like how you're quilting it. I agree, it made me think of a maze too, a nice change from the usual rounded & loopy stippling.
