Don't mind me while I just vanish for a week or so due to various stressors. I thought I would be able to just close my CNN tab after the Inauguration, you know? But nooo....
In any case, I asked Wonderful Husband to hold up a couple project finishes!
First off is the black and white baby quilt:
And then also, of course, there's the Christmas Stars wallhanging:
(And, yes, I also used the backing fabric for the hanging sleeve. Camouflage!)
So, three finishes in three weeks. A pace I am not likely to keep up, but it feels good to have a couple long-term UFOs done.
Speaking of which, guess what else I've been working on?
I've finally got all seventeen 4" trees done. Plus two more, because when I showed them this morning what I was working on, Jazzy wanted me to make him an "orange Christmas tree" and Squiddle wanted me to make him a red one. Mummy obliged, and their blocks are currently pinned to their bedroom walls. The empty space at the top is going to be filled with a star. Guess my next step is combing through my yellow fabrics again, and figuring out which star cookie cutter is the best size to use as an applique template.
Great finishes. I love the dark setting triangles in the first quilt. Your tree quilt is looking beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the dark on-point setting triangles. Both great finishes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on these great finishes! I don't do much applique but that cookie cutter hack sounds genius! =)
