Third Block of the Month

Yes, I've finished my third quilt block round robin this month. This block is Ati's Anything Goes block. Her theme's a garden, and so I did a nice flower in the lower left corner. Added more stuff... hope she likes it. Top is before my work, bottom is after.

Still Got Measles

All the curves are beginning to come off now. It's getting the final squaring off. I'm so close to getting this done, I keep thinking, but the actual size of the piece is deceptive over one.

Winding Down the Flutter

This week, it was all about the ribbon on the Lady's side. She's coming along, and I'm beginning to feel good about her progress.

A Half Circle

I worked mainly on the inner part of the compass rose this week; it's coming along, though like every other project, more slowly than I'd like.

Zenned Part Four

I finished Zentangle part four last week, and have the next part to do in my pile. I'm slowly catching up with my stitchalongs. I still really like this even though the colors are so not me.

Pinking It Up

I made more progress on Camelot this week. It was all Scotch stitches, working on the shading in the four outer areas. I'm getting to the point where I can declare this halfway done, I think.

I'll do another Bulgarian post on Tuesday and a couple of Kosovo ones later in the week.

Another Crazy Finish

This is the second of the crazy quilt round robins I'm finishing this month. It's Bonnie W's, and all her blocks are neutral. I picked this one because it was the only one without a really discernable fan in it, and I'm different.

I spent a while figuring out what to do and then did several things. The gold little appliques are from the Bulgarian fabric. My favorite, though, is the four petal flower seam treatment. I hope she likes it. There were so many small bits that it was hard to work motifs for most of the pieces of fabric. Surprisingly, this also makes my fourth finish of this month. I come home from Kosovo and get productive, I guess.
