Hello Monday! It's a fresh new week, and we are getting closer to the end of winter. That makes me happy!!
I saw this cute little meme on Facebook over the weekend, and knew it was something that described me to a T!! My sewing room hasn't been neat and tidy in years. Areas get neat and tidy, but never seem to stay that way for long. I did clean off my ironing area over the weekend however. And - better yet - I finished the top of a UFO. So, that's progress!!
My reward for getting Summer Soiree to the flimsy stage is to start on a new Quilt of Valor. This is Beads, and I'm nearly halfway done with the blocks.
I'm using just 2 fabrics for the bead blocks in this quilt, and a very planned layout in vertical columns alternating the colors. However it would be a terrific scrappy quilt as well. I might suggest this as a possible QOV block drive in the future.
As for more UFO progress, the APQ UFO Challenge drew #3 for March, and my #3 is Gingham which is nearly done. I am about 2/3 of the way around that quilt, stitching down the binding. I should be able to finish that one this week, so I'm going to return my focus to getting the Blue Hexie project to the flimsy stage too. It's also a UFO, and it's time to finish it. I have this Island Batik package of blue 2.5" strips. I think I'm going to use the darkest ones to put a border around the hexies. Then I can use the other shades of blue to make a piano key outer border. The strip set will be good Leaders/Enders in between working on a couple of other on-going projects this month.
