Design Wall Monday 5/20/13

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. I guess life just seems to get in the way.

I have a last minute baby quilt that I have to get done, so I set aside everything and got busy. I only have the quilting left to do so hopefully that will get done this week. Then I have to bust out my Dear Jane blocks for next week. Guess that will make for a very busy week for me. Glad I only work 2 days this week.

I forgot to take a picture while it was on the design wall so here is the finished top.

A close up. I used three Riley Blake charm packs, although I don't remember the name.


I was supposed to draw a line on the back of 168 squares but that is just way to much for me. I find it easier to draw a line with a sharpie from the needle down to the end of my acrylic table. That way when I sew I just line up the corners diagonally with the drawn line and sew.  The sharpie line fades away after while and if I need it again I just remark it.  So much easier than drawing on the back of all those squares.
 
 
Well, hopefully life is back to normal and I can get back into a routine of blogging and sewing.  Especially since I am almost done with Dear Jane.
 
For more DW head on over to Judy's. I just love all of the eye candy that shows up there.
 
Have a great week everyone.

  2. Nice to see you from the Blogosphere. I like the flippy corners, I fold my squares in half and press a crease to follow. Have fun with your extra time this week.

    1. I forgot about folding the squares. Might have to keep that in mind for the next time.

  3. I just finished making 168 HSTs with the line drawing method - your alternative is brilliant!
