What’s On My Design Wall? – 12/28

December 28, 2009 11:58 am ⋅


Another week where I am recycling an old photo. There’s nothing on my design wall this morning.

I finished Raising Cane yesterday and I don’t want to start anything new. Not that I don’t have plenty to work on. My goals for the rest of the year are to get the borders on Ladder to the Stars and finish the rest of those seams on the DWR. I’m not sure what’s up with the DWR.

So last night, instead of doing either of these tasks, or even working on step 3 of Carolina Christmas I was playing with WordPress to see if I would like it better than Blogger. I like the idea of pages and with WordPress I can upload PDF files. So this may be my last Design Wall post from Blogger.

But I will not work on it any more until I get the DWR ready to baste! Keep reminding me of this. I really want this quilt on our bed by the end of November.

I am recycling an old photo. There’s nothing on my design wall this morning.

Today I hope to finish the quilting on the 4-Patch Race Car quilt. I had tension issues yesterday and ended up ripping out everything I put in. Once that’s done, I have a pillowcase to make, and maybe one of those bulletin boards with ribbon.

Nothing like last minute quilting.

I took my swap blocks down Saturday, so there wasn’t anything on the wall until I put Autumn Splendor up there for a photo shoot. Yesterday I finished sewing on the inner borders, and then cut the fabric for the outer borders binding. That’s 2 of my 4 yards to get me to 100 yards used for the year.

Judy said she cheated since her picture was from Sunday. The SBS Blue & Brown swap blocks may be on the wall, but they are not what I’m currently working on.

I’m working on Carolina Christmas. Part 1 is complete and I’m half way through and I’m now cutting the large “green” triangles. (My gold is green and my green is blue. My red will be pink).

The exact same thing as last week. I didn’t even move the blocks.

On the other hand, Josh’s graduation quilt is finished! (OK, I still have to attach the label, but it’s made!) Remind me to never use black backing. It shows everything. Hopefully later today I’ll get a picture of it.

So close to finishing, or getting to a new stage in the projects I’ve been working on all summer I finally cut into new fabric Friday night. These are the blocks I made Saturday afternoon for Autumn Splendor.

I could have knocked out the rest of the blocks Saturday night or Sunday, but instead I worked on Josh’s quilt. I’ve got three of the borders quilted, and the 4th one marked. Once I get the last border quilted, I think I’m going to go back and stitch in the ditch between the inner and outer border. At that point I’ll have the tedious task of trimming the threads from the back of the quilt and trying to remove the dust and cat hair from the backing.

This is what I believe to be the last row of my Double Wedding Ring. Last night I finally sewed on the previous row, although I still need to sew the 4-patches. The row is far enough along so I now know I need an extra blue arc for this last row.

These are the melons for the last planned row in my DWR. One I get the previous row attached and these into a row and attached I’ll make my final decision. The melon on the bottom doesn’t have it’s corner squares yet because I’m not sure if they are supposed to be red or blue.

Right now I’m seaming the corner squares for the previous row. When I get these two rows attached, I’ll finish up the borders on Ladder to the Stars.

I’ve fixed the block — it was actually every block in the row, but only the red one was noticeable. Anyway, I’ve got 3 more rows to sew together and then the borders.

Ladder to the Stars is up on the wall. The blocks have been made since May, I’m currently working on the paper pieced sashings. I’m not sewing the sashings to the blocks yet, as I’m still deciding if the blocks are in the right spots.

I’m flitting back and forth between this quilt and the DWR.
