Quilt as You Go Progress

It was a slow, stay around the house kind of weekend.  We went to church and that's about it.  Most of my weekend was spent in my sewing room.  My focus was to make some good progress on my "quilt as you go" project, Kate's Choice.  




Row 6 is all quilted.  The next step is to trim off the extra batting. 




Trimming started with row one and I got as far as row 3 before dinner. 



Here's all the trimmings from the first 3 rows.  I need to trim the last 3 and then cut the sashing strips for both the front and back. I know what I'm using for the front, I need to decide what will work for the back.  Kate's Choice probably won't be done by the end of the month, but I'm hoping to make good progress on it in August.  

Linking up with Design Wall Monday and Patchwork & Quilts.

    I sure love the colors on Kate's Choice. Do you do anything with the fabric from your trimming?

    Great forward progress. So far, how do you like the process? It's a great way to use leftover bits of batting. Hopefully you will keep working on it for a finish in the next month or so.

    Nothing better than spending a few days at home and in your sewing room, making quilting! Kate's Choice is coming along nicely, you are doing great with the quilting. Thank you for sharing!

    Your project has a nice assortment of blocks and a lovely soft colorway. QAYG always reminds me of Georgia Bonesteel. I've never tried it.

    It’s looking good. I’m curious to see how this will work out. I’ve only done QAYG one time, and only on a doll-sized quilt, so I’ll be interested to see how you quilt it all together.
