It's been quite a busy week here! I must be having an "on" week, as it seems one week I get a ton accomplished, and then next, zilch. I'll take it though. Here's whats new:

More on this quilt here. But its done, and off to its new home as of this morning.
It felt ah-maz-ing to put the last handle on the last cabinet door in the early hours of Sunday morning and stand back and admire our handy work. We still have quite a bit more work to do, but we've just been enjoying the new and improved lightened up look of our kitchen. A detailed post on this project can be found here.

4x5 Bee Blocks
Nothing like waiting until the last minute, but I finally spent some time playing around with my block for the 4x5 bee. I had purchased Rachel from Stitched in Color's Wheel Quilt pattern a few days ago, and thought "I wonder if I could scale that pattern down to a 12.5" block" so I tried it out last night, and it worked just like I was hoping it would. I again used Leann's pinless curve piecing technique, and I'm officially a convert, pins be gone!

ReplyDeleteI love your fabric choices for the baby quilt! Off to go check out the pinless curved piecing link- I'm scared of curves and hate pinning, so this may get me started. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and block, Jessica! I'm so glad you mentioned Leanne's technique. I had never heard of such a thing as sewing curves without pins. After seeing your work and Leanne's video, I'm a believer!
