APQ UFO Challenge 2020: , July, August and September Finishes

 APQ and Quiltsy Team's UFO Challenge #5 (mine #17) JULY finish

This large table topper or small lap quilt was finished at the end of May 2020, but I never got around to take photos until some days ago. I had fun fussy cutting the deer fabric and make them into a log cabin quilt. 

Actually I have TWO finishes for August!  APQ #8 (my list #9). Two quilted and beaded wall hangings. They were finished (the sewing part) during the lock-down (April & May), but without beads. I ordered Mill Hill beads from the UK in July and due to Covid-19 and flight disruptions, the package took 2 months to get here! Under normal conditions, mail from the UK takes less than two weeks. The snowflakes and stars are beaded. More details here. 

This one with red borders, which I'll keep. I love the snowman scene. 

September finish, APQ #10 (my list #8)

Snowman wall hanging. I declare this one as finished! Even if a few beads are yet to be added. I ordered more beads from the UK early November, I think it was, I don't think I'll get them before next year.

Crumb Quilting - Another Insanity Project

 Hello everyone!

We all have scraps in boxes and bins, don't we? Tell me if you don't have scraps! I am no exception! I find it very hard to throw pieces that actually can be used. I cut squares in sizes from 1.5 up to 5 inches. I have done pretty well with 1.5 and 2.5 inches, but the other sizes are still in boxes. 

For some years, I have saved HST's, 1.5 inches strips, error and leftover blocks. The idea was to make a scrappy HST quilt, but.... I love HST quilts, they are beautiful, but for me, I'm not a big fan of piecing HST's, I find it rather boring. 

This is how my sewing table has looked like this week; HST's, error blocks, leftover blocks etc. Take a look top right, do you spot the pineapple blocks? I have 15 blocks. I want to make one more and then I can add all the blocks together for a wall hanging. The idea was to make a bed quilt, but now I have got other ideas for the strips. 

This is my first attempt on crumb quilting. I started out with that small cow panel (top right). This piece is made up of 3 rectangle blocks, each measuring 15.5 x 24.5 inches.  

This block measures 12.5 inch square. I'm not sure whether I'll leave it this size or make it 15.5 inches square... 

I had so much fun making these blocks! Love seeing some of my 'old' fabric again and turn them into a new quilt! 

HAPPY QUILTING! 

APQ UFO Challenge 2020: October and November Finishes

The weeks since my previous post have flown by like a whirlwind! I've been busy painting the bath/wash room, TV-room and part of the staircase. I can't say the reno is completed; a few things are left to be done. The reno has kept me away from sewing and I have enjoyed the break from sewing and doing something else! The Christmas Quilt top is done, that's all the sewing I've done lately. 

During the lock-down (April & May), I was determined to finish as many UFO's as possible. What else to do when you're not allowed to get out, except for grocery shopping twice a week?! Here are a few more finishes.  

This is APQ & Quiltsy Team's UFO challenge #3 (mine #15), November challenge

Another scrappy quilt, a lap quilt size. 

It is made of several 1.5" x 2.5" rectangles and 1.5" squares. Yep, insanity! LOL 

I had to be a bit creative with the back since I didn't have enough of the main fabric.

Some of the strips are fabric from years back, when I started quilting. Fun to work with them again.
