Eeek! Has it really been an entire week since I've last posted? We've been hard at work on our kitchen project (who knew that actually rehanging the cabinets was going to be the hardest part??) Argh. The hubs is off today, and I'm hoping that I will come home from work today to a pretty kitchen with cabinet doors! The little sewing I have done has been on a few secret projects that I can't share just yet (bummer). Anyways, here's what I can share...
In Progress
Retro Flowers
Have you caught the Retro Flowers bug yet? If not, you should totally check out the pattern by Christina of the Sometimes Crafter, I am using her pattern, but cut my pieces with my Accuquilt Go! Baby, and its made quick work of the cutting step.
I actually made my first Retro Flowers block way back in January for a dear friends newborn baby girl, and I am just making my way back to it now. This is now numero uno priority, so there should be a quilt top to show in the next few days!
Well, that's all she wrote for this week! I have big plans for this coming week, including an uninterrupted sewing weekend (with the exception of a movie date to see the Hunger Games!!) as the hubs is working all weekend. What have you been working on this week? Head over to Freshly Pieced and add your WIP!
Great looking blocks!
ReplyDeleteYou should join the retro flowers quilt along, hosted by www.sweetdieseldesigns.com it's got prizes!
ReplyDeleteLove the retro flowers. . I might have to make some. . . someday right? ha
ReplyDeleteThose blocks looks great! I am going to get moving on mine too... got held up in the middle of block two and switched projects. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are going to make a wonderful quilt Jess
ReplyDeleteLOVE the retro flowers!! What is that grey fabric with the blue?? I LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteGirl! Love your retro flower blocks! I've totally caught the "bug" too and am now hosting a qal...you should check it out! There are great giveaways and since you have already started...woohoo!!
ReplyDeleteI finally finished cutting my pieces last night. I bought the template & doubt I would even be using the pattern without it - but a Go!Baby...man, that would have been *so* nice!
ReplyDeleteHunger Games! Yes! I have a date to see it on Sat with some girlfriends & my mom! haha. I just read the books last week. No waiting for books 2 & 3, no waiting to see the movie - loving all the instant gratification!
The blocks are looking really great. I love that pattern, but have a hang-up with the drunkard's path thing in that I hate cutting fabric with scissors!!!! Isn't that terrible? I just love my rotary cutter. Lucky you for having a accuquilt machine to do the cutting for you!
ReplyDeleteyes, I started doing these blocks a few months ago, and other things keep getting in the way, so I haven't done anything with them yet. I love the fabric you have used in yours.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks! I am working up to the Retro quilt and still deciding what fabric to use.
ReplyDeleteYour retro flowers blocks rock! Can't wait to see the finished quilt top - I'm wondering how many you're going to make?! I just bought the pattern, but haven't cut out fabric yet . . . maybe tonight!
ReplyDeleteThere's a retro sew along just starting up. I may or may not have been sucked into it...
ReplyDeleteI caught the bug!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks!!
ReplyDeleteI just love Retro Flowers and your fabric choices are great! Can't wait to see the kitchen reveal!
ReplyDeleteLove these blocks - haven't tried curves yet but these look fab!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your blocks! I haven't caught that bug yet, but the more I see, the better I like it!
