Dinosaurs & project cutting

 The Dinosaur Quick Strippie baby quilt is finished, and I can check it off my UFO list.


The Quick Strippie is one of my GO TO patterns for baby quilts.  This is the 7th or 8th one I've made.  It's done with WOF strips and really is quick as the name says.  I think there are 2 or 3 more of these hanging in the closet right now, just waiting to be quilted.  The backing for this is a paint splash print and has all of the colors from the dinosaur print.  Carol quilted cute little dinosaurs all over it, and they even have smiles on their faces.  Now it's ready for the next time I need a baby quilt to gift. 

I have been working on the pumpkin door hanger, and am pleased with my progress. When I got tired of sewing little pieces, the blocks for Circle of Friends came out and are becoming rows.  I've even chosen a bright yellow for a narrow first border.  


When I needed a break from sitting at my sewing machine, I did some cutting.  There are 3 of those Wisdom (churn dash) blocks all cut and ready to sew.  Once done there will be 20 of those blocks made from a layer cake.  The pink and white pieces in the upper corner are for a pink Whirl block.  I've been trying to make 3 each month but only had 2 pink ones done prior to this week.
  

And I cut the pieces for the wine tote project.  
The fabrics in the kit were both excellent choices.  This print was from a Minnesota Shop Hop several years ago.  I'm not overly impressed with the pattern included in this kit however.  I'm sure it will work out fine in the end, but the instructions are just not very well organized.

  1. You were really zipping around in your sewing room working on a few different projects, keep it up! I dug out another box of strips that were leftovers from another quilt several years back.
