Just a quick check-in today, not a lot to report, but I feel like I've been pretty productive.
I got the first block done for my watermelon quilt & it came together just as quickly as I hoped! I really love how it turned out & have started sewing more strips together. I've got all the strips cut for the block except the dark green for the border.
Only 34 more blocks to go! :)
I also started quilting on the vintage print quilt. I decided to do it by hand, even though I really did want to try doing this one on my machine. But I really enjoyed doing the hand work on Coop's quilt so I decide to go with that. I'll have to try to get a picture of the quilting, but it's really hard to see since I'm using a cream thread, and it pretty much blends in with all the fabrics.
Right now I'm working on the tutorial for this bag. I love the clear pocket on it, but it's hard to explain & vinyl doesn't photograph well!
I think that's pretty much all I've been up to, but it's enough! Hopefully you're all having a wonderful week!
Make sure you head over to Freshly Pieced to see what everybody else has been up to this week.
Until next time...
