WIP Wednesday

Wednesday again??  Where does the time go these days??  Last week was spring break for my girlies, so I didn't get a whole lot done with regards to quilting.  We had a great week, even though I still had to work most of the week.  It was nice not having to chase after school papers, homework, lunches, deadlines, study for upcoming tests, and all that *fun* stuff!

So, last night, after the girlies were in bed, I went to my sewing room to start working on a few things!  I FINALLY got my Swoon quilt top put together...that sucker is a monster!  With borders, it's 90 inches square and fits my bed perfectly!  I think I am going to be using Bamboo batting on this one since it's going on my bed.  I know it's a little more expensive than cotton, but it feels SOOO much better and if it's going on my bed, I want a squishy quilt :o)



I have made SLOW progress on my EPP.  I think I am up to 49 stars, with 6 more waiting to be attached.  I draped it over my bed....it's still only 1/2 way done, I think.  I'm not getting tired of it, but just would like it to go faster!

These last 3 I am planning to work on for the Siblings Together camp program.  They were just random WIPs...the last 2 have been completed tops for well over a year just sitting around doing nothing!  This hexagon top would be a fun quilt for an older girl.  Anyway, if you haven't seen what Siblings Together is all about, head on over to Lily's Quilts to check out the details! My only question is can I deliver these in person, lol!




This is my quilting buddy :o)  She does not let me out of her sights for long, so I put her bed in my sewing room and she will come in there and sleep until I shut down...it was so sweet!

  3. How big are your hexes? I just printed out papers to start one and I did 2.5 inches. Hopefully it's not too small that it will take me 100 years to do...
