What We Are Working on

 Today is Thursday again, that seems to come around so fast. We will get together this afternoon to work on more Prayers and Squares quilts. I’ll post pictures of those when I get home. In the meantime, I’ve been working on some here at home too. I have never been a work on just one quilt at a time until it is finished type quilter. I love having options and being able to go from one quilt to another depending on mood and which colours I feel like using. Also, if I run out of something for one quilt, I always have a backup to keep me going. I’ve started a new sampler from  blocks put out by Pat Speth on her Facebook group. I make them as they are posted, this time in blues and greens. So far this year there have been 4. This one will grow slowly as new blocks are released. It will be done quilt as you go with a sashing style as yet to be fully decided. I’m also working on a Great Granny square quilt. This one will have 20 blocks when it is finished, also with sashing and finished quilt as you go style. I’ve a couple of other projects on the go here at home, but I don’t have recent pictures of them. Perhaps next week.

This afternoon we managed a couple of finishes to 2 different scrap quilts. The first is one called Balancing Act, another of Pat Speth’s designs found here. And then Janet finished this one. Barbara has been working on a design of her own. She wanted to feature the landscape fabric in the centre and work with the same colour families doing an outdoorsy type theme. I think she is planning a two inch border in the dark blue to finish it off. That’s it for this week. Next week will be a layering day for sure. Then I can bring some of them home to get quilted.
