WIP Wednesday #22



It doesn't feel like I've been very busy this week. On the other hand, I've finished a lot of projects.

Maybe it's because I've found my writing inspiration again and have gone back to spending a lot of time writing, while just putting in the effort to finish off those last few lingering projects? Could be.

Finished!

Gothic Cushions
I have to get these babies into the mail for the recipient. It needs to reach the US before Halloween. Here's hoping!

Did I mention the hilarious and awesome tutorial on how to make Quilted Pillow Covers? Yes? Well, I'll mention it again!

I never realised cushion piping could be so easy to make! *rubs hands together in glee*

Modern Rail Fence
I haven't really got a better name for this. But I love how easy it was to put together, and how the design just works. It'd be an awesome pattern as an even smaller block than it is!

Postage Stamp Quilt: "The Penny Batik"
After nine months, it's finally done!

I'm thinking of selling the Modern Rail Fence, and the Penny Batik - but I've never sold quilts before and I have no idea how much is 'reasonable' - or whether people would actually buy them. I know other quilters sell their stuff, but their stuff is, well, fantastic! And, you know, not made by me. :)

So my finished quilt pile for 2011!

This is way more productive than I've ever been in my quilting history!

And now for the WIPs:

Kaleidoscope QAL: Santorini Sky And Sea
You've seen the top:

Now see the back!

The purple is very purple. I'm not sure I like it.

Now the question is whether or not to hand-quilt it. If not, it'll have I was planning to follow the circles and waves of the pattern...but I hadn't thought very had about it.

Procrastination, procrastination, procrastination!

Birthday Blocks
A nine-patch:

No Progress
- Have fabrics for Dead Simple QAL; haven't done anything with them yet.
- Mum's Impstar (although I received the correct materials in the mail - hurray!)
- Supernova binding.
- Harvest blocks. They're cut. They're marked. They just have to get sewn together...only I don't think I like the fabric anymore...

Planned
- am considering making a pattern/QAL for the Central Park Boxes pattern
- a Hunter's Star quilt with Moda's Kansas Winter fabric set (I have a layercake, jelly roll, and charm square pack.)
- a small throw for a craft swap. Or maybe cushions?

  10. The modern rail fence is awesome. I don't think I've seen anything like it. Even if you don't decide to sell it, you should make a pattern and sell that! I know I'd make something like that--my DH would have to agree that done right it could be manly. Which is hard to achieve with a quilt sometimes...
