Design Wall-Floor Monday =February OMG UFO #5 Found

Some Months it takes all MONTH to find the UFO OMG!

I knew where it was- just got distracted by other projects with a deadline.

Only today and Tomorrow to work on this, OH MY!

Decisions- Decisions

21 Blocks

Just 16 Blocks - On Point

I had a BUSY week-end.

Bought a few Books at the AAUW Book Sale.

& Knitting Books too

I had to save them and bring them home to my Collection.

Some are Classics!

BETSY is still loaded with Farm Girl Vintage.

I am in a quandary of what to Quilt on it.

Quilty-Fun SAL & Scrappy WASIQ Blocks

Today was a good day to stay inside and sew BLOCKS. 

 I made my Block of the Week for the Quilty Fun SAL with Lori Holt.  

I thought we would me these 3 Trees in December, but we took a break over the holidays and they were the blocks to make this week.  Here are all the Blocks so far...

The WASIQ Scrappy Block parts were getting bumped and knocked off the shelf I had the propped up on so I thought why not sew them together and see how they all look.

 First I sewed the blocks that had more Neutral Fabrics-   

Then the Rest were sewn and added together in the picture below.  

The extra one can go on the back...

I like how the Hourglass shows up with the alternated Blocks. It's fun to see all these bits and pieces from other quilts in my scrappy blocks.  The 9-patch pieces in the center are TINY! 

My Wednesday sewing was mostly fun. The Chevrons are getting done and I can assemble more Celtic Solstice Mystery B Blocks soon.  Lots of Drawing lines on the back to make them.

 Here is my Grandson with his replacement hat.
I gave it to him at our New Year's gathering.
This Gift tray arrived a bit later than planned.
Thanks Joe and Kori!

Design Wall Monday & Mystery Monday Link up - January 6, 2014

I can't believe how much sewing I've done already this year.  

Not all of it has been on my Celtic Solstice...

 This is what it looked like when I played with Blocks on Saturday evening.  Just playing to see if this how I want my blocks to be arranged.  And testing the Border blocks too.  

There will be a small inner Border before the Red/BlueTri-Recs.

I very carefully picked up the blocks in the 9-patch and placed them on my 12x12 ruler to take them

 to the machine. DH was happy to take a picture of me doing my QUILT YOGA!

YES, my Christmas Tree is still up, I have been known to keep it up until February or longer. 

My Birthday is Next week and I have ladies coming on Monday for DUP Luncheon.

 I NEED to take it down before then. But It can wait while I sew a bit more...

Below are the 18 blocks I sewed, all webbed together.

I like the chains to go around both sides of the circles.

That means I have to un-sew two of the 4-patches and turn them in my first 3 Star Blocks

 that I made after the reveal. That will make 24 of the 49 needed for the Small quilt

Many other ladies have made bigger changes on their layouts of these block parts.

I'm trying to stay more true to the DESIGN Bonnie made.

                                   

 I'm linking up over HERE for this Mystery Monday.  

Bonnie's next Mystery Monday link-up will be February 3rd- after Groundhog Day.

I hope to have this quilt to the Flimsy by then.
I've seen a post where they counted the pieces and there are over 2400 in the Small size.
I think I don't want to know how many pieces there are that I have cut and sewn.

On New Year's day while I was off visiting extended family my online Yahoo group; 

WASIQ had a Virtual Sew-in  and made a familiar block.
Their Blog HERE.

They said instead of Resolutions to make RESEWLUTIONS!

I have so many scraps that were already but into the size strips they were using,

 so I had to play along on January 2nd.

3.5" Scrappy block units. PLUS, a few left over for another project, maybe my Double Delight?

I definitely have Quilter's ADD.
Confession time, it only took 4 days to start a new BOM to add to the long list of Monthly challenges.

This is the Center Block for Pat Sloan's new ((Globetrotting)) Block of the Month HERE!

Washington DC Block

It is a big block 26.5"

[made with some pretty White on White, Shadow Play, Moda Marble Swirl and a fat quarter I found]
DH asked Why it wasn't Purple, my Favorite color. I showed him that Fat Quarter has a little purple flower.

There is a Facebook group HERE

I have used a LOT of Bobbins since I started the Celtic Solstice.  I know I've used at least 8 because I had to stop and fill them before I could sew on Saturday.
