A Little at a time

I’ve decided to quilt a little at a time. That way, things will get done. My binding bin is now empty. All the quilted quilts are bound and ready for new homes. I have several community quilt tops sewn and ready to quilt. They are paired with batting. The backing is waiting to be added and after quilting, the binding box will fill up again.

finally, the Hexagon Star is ready to applique on the background. This has been a long, long project. The background is white, not pink. There are a few gray hexagons that still need to be sewn in. I’ll do that when I get to that spot.

Dear Jane has come out to be hand quilted. Most of the border triangles are pieced or cut. The four corners a and a few appliqued triangles are left to finish. I had to decide how I was going to finish the triangles. Should I just piece them together or sew them as a potholder quilt. It’s logical to use the potholder method as I did in the center of the quilt. This is another long, long project. But, with a little at a time, it will get done.

The four patches became sixteen patches.

Four sixteen patches sewn together.

There are a few squares left in the box. Eventually they will be placemats.

I didn’t intend to make another new top, but the Marble Mystery quilt instructions came out. The first month was choosing the fabrics. The second month was cutting and labeling the pieces. All the fabric is cut and labeled, except the background. I have until the end of the month to do that. That makes a nice beak from sewing. The quilt will be finished a little bit at a time.

Have a great day and happy quilting.
