Design Wall Monday-July

This is the current project on my design wall. It's a UFO and it may be twin sized when I get it finished. I'm making it from my 3 1/2" strip boxes!

Design Wall Monday-July 1 day late!

This past week all the designing has been on EQ! I got hooked on this block thanks to Elizabeth. I modified the block and I've been playing with it. This is the 1st design that I have come up with. I have no idea what fabrics I would use or if I'll make it at this point. I'm just having fun playing with the blocks.

Design Wall Monday-July 2 days late!

I'm sorry about the delay. I had these blocks up Monday but, I got the picture today. These are some old blocks that I got from my mom while on vacation this year. They look like sample blocks that were made to try a pattern out. I'm planning to make a quilt with them. I don't have all of them on the design wall. I've decided to make a sampler with the blocks. I need to make a decision about some of the fabrics in the blocks. A few of the fabrics have age spots and a few are very thin. I need opinions about this. Should I replace the fabrics or not?

Design Wall Monday-June

Better late than never! This is the design wall area above my sewing machine in the sewing room. The art in the top right hand corner was a gift from our grandson. The blocks are some blocks I made that were inspired by blocks made by Tammy Simpson. Someday I hope to have enough blocks for a large bed size quilt.

This is our grandsons UFO. The top is finished with some help from me. I hope to get it quilted soon! It's simple, cute and close to being finished!

This is one of my current projects. I got it bound tonight. It's really cute and I really hate to give it away. This is a blurry detail shot.

Design Wall Monday

This weeks design wall Monday is on the cutting table. I'm making a small quilt for our grandpuppy, Jake. I plan to make the letters out of the brown tone on tone fabric in the picture. The letters will be placed diagonally, fused and stitched down.

The dog biscuit print is adorable. I think I bought it at the Bay Area Quilt Show. I'm anxious to get this little quilt made.
