Chilhowie Quilt Advancement and Bits and Pieces

Linking up with To Do Tuesday with  Quilt Schmilt

Plans were

Quilt the Chilhowie quilt. I did that just using a meander all over mostly. This has been my UFO focus for May and I can see I’ll almost have it finished. 

Make two log cabin blocks for row four of the Designer Mystery FQS 2022/23 quilt.Done.

Make some scrappy heart and star blocks with scraps. I added to my scrappy hearts blocks – I am using scraps. A few years ago I made a quilt with these blocks and gave it away and so I ‘d like another one even a scrappy one.    I added to my small 4 1/2 inch star blocks. No plans of what to do with these star blocks just using 1 1/2″ squares. 

Plans

Sew on binding to Chilhowie Quilt

Sew Row 4 of Mystery Quilt from FQS together.

When the June designated quilt number to work on is known get it out and start working on it.

Continue working on scrappy blocks.

To the Moon Finish

Quilt the To The Moon designed by Chelsi Stratton I finished quilting it and sewed on the binding so that is a happy finish. I backed it with minky so it should be  cosy

Make one finishing block and sew row 3 together for the Mystery BOM from Fat Quarter Shop. I put this row together so that is row three all done.

Maybe pin Chilhowie quilt from Bonnie Hunter – ready for quilting. I did pin the Chilhowie quilt together and now its all ready for quilting, will be a very quick over all thing!

A Bit of This and That

Linking up with To Do Tuesday and  Quilt Schmilt

Plans two weeks ago.

1. The Last sewcialites block – No 24.  I made the last block, and now I have put the blocks aside as I am not sure how I will finish it. It will depend largely on what fabric I have.
2. That backing for the baby quilt, it’s going to be a scrappy one.  Yes I pieced a backing. for the baby girl quilt  and now I have pinned it all and have just started to quilt it.
3. Look at second border for Cozy Up quilt.  No, not even looked at.
4. Sew something from the To the Moon pattern.  Yes, now have the blocks done and am just beginning to put in the sashing.
5. Pin a NICU baby quilt top ready for quilting and might even get some of that done. Yes and have finished quilting it and it has its binding on. Now just need to wash it. This takes care of the six inch blocks BOM with A Quilting Life 2022. . 

Some things to do in the coming week.

Work on To the Moon and Back quilt. (Pattern by Chelsi Stratton).

Quilt the Baby Girl quilt.

Sew on outer border to Cozy Up quilt top.

Sweet Dreams Finish

Linking up with To Do Tuesday and  Quilt Schmilt

Plans for the previous week.

1. Sewcialites block 23  this week.  Done, didn’t really choose the fabric that would enhance this block but happy enough with it.
2. Sort out a backing for the Baby crib top.   Not Done
3. Some hand sewing on the binding of Sweet Dreams  quilt. A sew along with Pat Sloan. Done and quilt finished. I wasn’t that in love with this quilt, but since quilting it I am a lot more pleased with it.
4. Start on the border of All the Stars top, using Cozy Up fabric. This is my UFO to work on for April. It doesn’t have to be finished in April, just progressed on.  First Border attached, found I had sewed up the blocks a little incorrectly, made one small adjustment and left one mistake.

I also started a top I want to make by Chelsi Stratton, To the Moon.  I made the eight small starts and I enjoyed that – sort of happy mindless piecing.  I like the pattern and I think it will make a good boys quilt for one of the great nephews.

Plans for the Coming Week.

1. The Last sewcialites block – No 24.
2. That backing for the baby quilt, it’s going to be a scrappy one.
3. Look at second border for Cozy Up quilt.
4. Sew something from the To the Moon pattern.
5. Pin a NICU baby quilt top ready for quilting and might even get some of that done.

To do Tuesday

Linking Up with  Quilt Schmilt

Last weeks plans

• Sort out a pattern for a baby quilt and then start to think about fabric. This is for one of my sisters to give as a gift to someone special to her. It is going to be a girl. So far she has given me the size she wants, now I am messaging her about colour and pattern.  Baby arrives in June.  Done. I have picked out a pattern and with my sister’s approval am going to start. I ordered some fabric but while waiting for it to arrive I decided to use my scraps and give it a go. It’s a simple pattern but thought I’d give it a go. This is the pattern but going to do it in pink and just one bear.  Pattern from Annie’s Quilt Designs. 
• Continue to quilt Pat Sloan quilt.  Done. And I will finish quilting it in the next few days.
• Some piecing – Sewcialites blocks for coming week and some work on FQS Mystery BOM.  Done.  I put the second row together of the FQS Mystery BOM 22/23 together. And the sewcialites blocks were very easy piecing this week which was great.
