Scrappy Goodness!

Working on binding this scrappy "Piece" quilt this morning... binding done, squared up and ready to go.

Pieced Back :)

Peace Sign Quilting by Big Pine Quilting

You'd think my scrap pile would've dwindled...

Good to be home for a weekend full of stitching.

Piece

Or maybe I should call it Pieces... I finished sewing this top together today. A SCRAPPY, BRIGHT and COLORFUL spiderweb quilt with over 550 fabrics just in the spider web part of the quilt blocks. 

Love all the little things you find in a scrappy quilt... it's like "Where's Waldo?"

Happy stitching!

Confession of a Selvage Quilter

If you hadn't noticed, my updates on the selvage quilt stopped.  Abruptly.  The real truth is not that I have been busy working on other projects... but that when I added the border, it was too BIG.  And I mean BIG.  And I ended up with three sides of a very floppy border added and then became frustrated, neatly folded the whole thing up and sat in on the cedar chest in my sewing room.  It has been staring at me everyday since.

I had unsewn the border over the last few weeks, so tonight I pulled the whole thing out and after some trimming, ok lots of trimming, and sewing, and a little more seam ripping,  I now have a selvage quilt again!  This time ready for backing and quilting.  There are lots of things I like about this pattern and also about selvage quilts.  You can look at them like a pie...

or at the stars...

Here's the border and corner, just a simple v-pattern border and star corners.

Very Fun!   Have a great week.

Selvage Quilt Progress

After two weeks of high school basketball play-offs, and games almost every night, I am home, and back in the sewing room.  Here's the progress on my selvage quilt. 

I am thinking about removing the border, as I think it makes the quilt a little busy.  Keep in mind the border is only on three sides at this point.  Through the magic of technology, (and not a seam ripper), here is the borderless version.

If you have an opinion, let me know. 

Also here's another spider web quilt I made last year.  It should be back from the quilter soon. All the circles in this quilt are made from scraps from previous quilts I have made.  (Sorry about that lamp in the middle of the pic.)
