What We’re Working on

 I haven’t got a lot of pictures of projects this week. We had to cancel our sewing day yesterday due to the storm that came through over night. Laneways had to be plowed out, especially those along highways where the hard working snowplow people left 3 foot high piles along the edges of roads. Not their fault, it’s the hazard of country living. And then, the parking lot of the church hadn’t been plowed out either, making getting in and out a challenge not worth taking. So we all stayed home. No problem, most of us have stuff at home to work on. I spent some time putting my current sampler of blocks from Pat Speth together. The rows are all done. I have to make some more sashing units before I can put the rows together. These are a fast and easy way to get a lovely quilt, making one block at a time. I quite enjoy the process. We had a light green solid in our stash that I’ve used to back the blocks. It shows the quilting quite nicely. It’s ben paired with a print that has the same colour as the solid in it. The print hides the folded under edge that is top stitched necessary for the quilt as you go process.  The other thing I’ve been working on at home, off and on over the last couple of months, is a Great Granny Square quilt. I have 15 out of 20 blocks done. The fabrics for the rest of the blocks are all ready to go together. It’s quite fun and bright and happy This will get set together in the quilt as I go style with 2 inch sashing and cornerstones. There are quite a few fun large scale floral and geometric prints that I can use for the backing. And that’s all from my little corner of the quilting world. I’ll link up to Finished, or not, Friday
