WIP Wednesday

It has been a while since I have had a WIP Wednesday, so I am excited to be back to sewing!  I am totally caught up on Sweet and Sassy orders (yippee!!) and am ready to get started with my 100 Day Hustle list.  Thank you, Kelsey, for the kick in the pants to get going  :o)  I tell ya, I just love the online quilting community.  I have no local quilting friends even close to my age so it's nice to find others with the same interests!

My first WIP to show today is the first quilt for our do.Good Stitches Promise Circle.  I cannot decide which layout I like the best.

 Layout Option 1

Layout Option 2

Other WIPs:

1.  Branson's superhero quilt - I think I am going to go simple on this one.  I tend to overthink and that's what makes my projects last forever long!

2.  Single Girl - finally dug out my fabrics, templates, paper-piecing papers, etc and am going to get started on piecing this week!  Cannot wait to see how they finally come together...eep!!!

3.  EPP quilt - no progress, sad to say.  I am on the fence, but leaning towards machine quilting, just need some grey thread.  Will get that this weekend.

4.  Christmas Brr! Quilt - fabrics pulled, pattern chosen!

5.  Baby Chevron - no progress.  Need to make the back, baste, quilt, etc.  Any ideas for how to quilt this one??


And...because I didn't have enough on my list, I added a new project.  Something a little different, but amazing!  I am testing a pattern....and am about 1/2 done with the top.  Can't wait to share!!

I'm linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced.

    Love your do good quilt! I think I'd go with layout 1, but they're both beautiful. Colour choices are fabulous!

    Gorgeous quilt - I think I prefer the second layout (just to confuse matters!).

    The baby chevron is so sweet! No idea on how to quilt it, that's always my downfall.

    I love the chevron quilts! I'd go with layout #2. I'm also doing the 100 day hustle so we'll be dancing to the end of the year together!

    I love the colors and movement of this quilt. Option 1 makes the quilt look longer while 2 makes it look wider (just like stripes in clothes do to us.) I personally prefer 1 but maybe that is because I am so short and it looks like I could lose myself in it. :-D

    Love the colours in your chevron quilt. Personally I love horizontal chevrons, but they both look great.

    Both the color scheme and the chevron design are awesome! I don't know about which layout, both look good. Not much help, am I?

    What a cute chevron quilt! I'm still working on getting G to nap in his crib so I can sew during the day. For now I only get to do so after he goes to bed!
