So, sleeping under a quilt for the whole night is something new to me. Sounds crazy since I have been quilting for about 7 years now. I have never made one for my bed. It's interesting...definitely didn't get cold, but I like more weight on me at night...does that even make sense? So, it will take some getting used to. And the hubs said he didn't sleep that well either. We're kind of divas when it comes to certain things, apparently!
Other things I got accomplished this week include basting 2 superhero quilts for my girlies! After spending 3 hours on my hands and knees, my muscles were very sore the next day :o) Now to quilt them....if I can get the girls to let go of them long enough to do it!
Still working on my English paper piecing project...I have 20 stars left!! And I am running out of papers, so I think I need to order more. I bought all the packs my LQS had, and, unfortunately, they aren't stocking more.
I made another zippered pouch from some extra superhero fabric. It's perfect for my EPP supplies :o)
Other WIPs: Queen Single Girl - all paper pieces are ready to go!

ReplyDeleteThe swoon quilt is beautiful, and I look forward to seeing the superhero quilts - if you can get a hold of them for long enough to quilt them!

Your swoon is so beautiful. I love those extra little squares of colour you added where the blocks intersect.
ReplyDeleteYour Swoon quilt is stunning! Love everything about it. I'm also loving your EPP stars.

Love your swoon quilt! Your EPP project is amazing! Way to go on that. I don't have enough patience. I also love your Fit Tuesday posts! Keep it up! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteYour Swoon is fabulous! I love it and those little squares are a great idea! The first quilt I ever made for my bed thehubby really didn't like. He says there was too much quilting and the quilt didn't feel soft enough!
ReplyDeleteI have been admiring swoon quilts all over the web. Yours is gorgeous. I think I might just have to make one for myself. Can you use a fat quarter bundle? I'll google it and find the links.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to start my swoon quilt. I got my pattern in the mail a month ago now I have a big problem fabric choice!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your swoon quilt all done ! Your EPP stars are wonderful : )
ReplyDeleteYour swoon is delicious. You're right that the hand stitching of the bidning takes forever but a nicer finish the machining it on.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteIs photocopying your EPP papers not an option?
Your swoon quilt is lovely . Congratulations. Done is such a great word.
ReplyDeleteWHERE oh WHERE did you FIND female superhero Fabric?!? Pleeeeease let me know I've been searching for Wonder Woman for ages!
ReplyDeleteNo not crazy at all. I can't machine bind anything without it looking like a 3 rd grader did it! :) Gorgeous finish and I am loving the paper pieced stars. Copy them on gray and print them on cardstock? I have always copied my own without any trouble at all.
