Daily Quilting Report

 

This morning I managed two tulip blocks. They have a left and right so it takes some concentration to get the pieces right.

I am working on the Bunny Knoll blocks. Each month has its own book of instructions with full colour photo of the items you can make. There is a set of items for each month that feature the theme for the month. Bunny Knoll has:

• a chicks mini quilt
• a Hoppy Easter pot holder
• a tulip mini
• a Some Bunny Loves You mini mug rug or pillow
• a tulip field table topper
• a Happy Easter quilt or pillow cover
• a Bunny Knoll small quilt (30" square)

I will have a lovely collection of small project ideas at the end of the year.

Today I pressed all the appliqué pieces onto the 12" block and I finished the set of 9 patch 6" blocks.

Feel free to comment or just say hello. It's been a while since I was quilt blogging.

Cheers,

I am really enjoying seeing this quilt progress. I like working in the morning first thing after I get up. It seems so easy to get things done. Once I catch up with the April blocks I want to start doing a bit of this quilt then a bit of the Garden quilt I have pulled out to complete.

This is the Down Wander Lane quilt I am working on.

There is an appliqué block for each month of the year. I have the kits for Feb, Mar and April.

Because the kits are for the 12 small quilts I will have to do the outer border in two colours with the border fabric from two kits. The same with the binding. Once I get all the 12" blocks together I will play with the borders.

Today I cut the rest of the fabric and sewed up one 9 patch block and the appliqué block background. I also got out the pieces for the rest of the 9 patch blocks ready for tomorrow.

Cheers,

 Today I started the April kit. I have a few weeks to get this one done before the next kit arrives.

I have created some routines to help me make easy progress. The night before I spend a few minutes setting up my area so I can just walk in next morning and start without thinking.

It felt good to see my table all ready for cutting this morning.

I spent about an hour cutting out. I still have a bit less than half to go. Each fabric is used in several blocks so I save all the pieces in one fabric in their own sleeve. When I start a block I check the cutting list and find all the pieces of fabric I need for that block.

I have reset my table ready for my doll clothes sewing this evening. I have my computer next to my sewing machine so I will be sewing and writing instructions. 

Cheers,
