WIP Wednesday {11.30.2011}

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

This past week was full of many things...however not many of them were quilty.  I'm also starting to just ever so slightly panic that tomorrow is December 1st.  Which means that Christmas is in 25 days.  Seriously?  I have entirely too many holiday to do's to complete for Christmas to only be in 25 days.  Anyways here's what I've been up to this past week.

Completed Projects

Tangled Windows


I actually finished up this quilt on Sunday evening, however I haven't had any daylight to snap some pics!  By the time I get home from work, its already dark out, how depressing.  More on this this weekend.

Sparkle Ornaments

New Projects

Christmas Tree skirt


My sewing room may look like it vomited Christmas fabric right now, but I've been wanting to make a new Christmas tree skirt for a while now.  I made this one last year, but its just too small for our live tree that we get every year.

I actually did quilty geometry, yes you read that right, not just quilty math, but quilty geometry, and I *think* I have it figured out (I'm crossing all crossables that this comes out like I have planned) so that these pieced strips will form a complete circle.  I hope.

  1. Oh man, geometry was not my best subject in school, so I can totally relate - I'm crossing all of my crossables for you too!!! I love those sparkly ornaments you made, did they make a horrible mess? I would love to try them, but I have this visual of glitter going everywhere... :)

  7. YOU do the math and geometry and then you can tell me about it, because math and I do NOT get along so well. Okay? I really want to make those ornaments.

  8. Oooh, those sparkle ornaments are super pretty! Good luck with your tree skirt! Geometry and I do not get along, but my lego bag was pretty similar to this, so check out that tutorial of mine if you want to see how my math worked out. (I thought I would need 40 wedges for my complete circle, but I turned out to need 41! Not sure if it was a math error or a sewing error!)

    Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )
