WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

Before I get to whats been going on this week, don't forget there are still 2 days to enter to win a GO! Baby and three dies of your choice!  You can enter here if you haven't already!

New and Completed Projects

Pillows

Quilted Pillows

These quilted pillows were a gift for my brother and his girlfriend as they just moved into their first apartment! More on the pillows here.  Stay tuned for an upcoming tutorial on the zig zag pillow using the GO! Baby cutter and 3" half square triangle die.  

In Progress

DWR Quilt


I know this doesn't look much different than the last time I posted about it, but I have made progress!  I finally got the third row of rings attached, only 2 more to go!  This went much smoother than when I pieced the first two rows together.  Here's the trick, you need to mark the seams on those cornerstone pieces, like when you prepare hexagons to machine piece them, and begin and stop sewing 1/4 inch from each edge.  Everything matched up nice and almost perfect, with no headaches!


I also pieced together the last 36 arcs and attached them to the "melons", so the end is nearing!  I'm feeling a quilt top in the very near future...

Farmers Wife QAL

My creation

These things are so addicting to make, I can never stop at just two!  Here are this weeks four blocks, and I think my favorite group to date.  More on these little buddies here.

  15. Your double wedding ring is beautiful. What fabric is that? I love the way the purple is balanced with the blues and greens. I don't use nearly enough purple.
