Happy Progress!

1- I'm so excited that I completed my first wholecloth quilt this past week.  Phew. 
Full post here, but here is one close up of the micro-stippling. 
2- Skill Builder- #28: Tumbler Block
Notice anything funky?  I didn't cut down the rows small enough before piecing them together, so when I cut the block down to the 12 1/2"- the top row was a lot shorter than the other three rows.  Oops.  I think my exact words when I first saw what I had done were, "Oh- For the Love!" and then I just laughed.  I'd say it was a dumb blonde moment, but I'm not even blonde.  Good thing it's a sampler quilt, so it doesn't really matter.





#3- I finished a project, so that means I can start another one, right? Right!  It was time to work on some Half-Square Triangles.  Here's what I got done yesterday:
Other projects:
Blogger BOM- Up to date
Christmas blocks - no progress
Halloween Wall-hanging- no progress

Stats for the Week:
New projects - 1
Completed projects - 1
WIP- 6

  1. Love the wholecloth quilting. I've been trying some as well but haven't got the confidence to show my results yet! Your zigzags are going to make a really striking quilt.
