It was a cold weekend, perfect for hiding out in the sewing room. I finally took some time to spritz up the my space a bit by vacuuming, dusting and just generally picking up a bit. It's always nice to stitch in an uncluttered space.
The biggest to do for the weekend was to get the Red, White and Blue Stars quilt back cleaned up, pressed and packaged in preparation for sending the project out for quilting.
That's finished. I don't always mark the top of the back, but will if I think it would help Trudy on her end.
I didn't spend much time in the sewing room last week, so there's not a lot of progress on my other projects. Unity is still up on the big design wall.

The next round of blocks is going slowly. Each block has 8 HSTs and those aren't going very fast as they are my current leader and enders project. My primary project is the newest Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt. She released the reveal last Friday. I don't even have a completed block as yet so no pictures. I'm still stitching up the various subparts.
The small design wall has the first completed block for the Morewood Mystery quilt.

There's not as many pieces for this block so I was able to get one stitched together. Just thirty something left to stitch. I have all month to finish those.
That's it for my progress over the last week. I'm hoping for more sewing time this week. We'll see how that goes. Linking up with Monday Making and Monday Design Wall.
That stripe seems to vibrate! Hope it doesn't "strobe" in real life. I have all the Grassy Creek units completed but I don't feel compelled to rush to put them all together. (Quite a contrast to what I've done in previous years). I do like the design and the colors.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it exciting when you have a top and backing ready to hand over to the quilter? Almost as exciting as when you get it back ready for binding. Morewood Mystery will be lovely in those colors. That is an interesting block with lots of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteMy Unity quilt is ending after the Round 5 Flying Geese. I like it "as is", and it's just the right size for sofa snuggling.
You are making progress! Yay for having a quilt ready to go to the quilter! The Morewood block looks like a little piece of candy to me - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteConsidering you work full time I'm always amazed at how much you get done. So, even if you think it is small progress, remember some of us think it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress to get a quilt to the to-be-quilted stage! I have so many finished tops....
ReplyDeletePretty blocks on your design wall.
The Unity is a striking quilt with it's Bonnie Hunter signature style. I love the Morewood colors. Blocks do go slowly when they are leaders and enders. I can't wait to see the next addition.
ReplyDeleteLove the mystery block!! I just adore your fabrics for that one.
ReplyDeleteYour Morewood pieces are so pretty, and you know I am crazy about your version of Unity. Cleaning up the sewing room is something I should do too.
ReplyDeleteYour Unity is my favorite - so striking and going to be a beauty - it keeps growing! LOL. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI really like how your Morewood Mystery block is coming together. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to clean up the sewing room, isn’t it? Never something I want to do, but always something I am glad to have done. Love your mystery block - the fabrics are great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool back!!! and with the stripes it does help to know which way the client would like it! go yoU!!
