I've started working on the back to my X-Plus quilt using the scraps left over from the top. I'm currently sewing together all the corner trimmings creating HSTs.
They measure 2 1/2" after being trimmed. I'm allowing randomness to prevail in my assembly of these HSTs and I'm really liking the results. Once I finish sewing these together, the rest of the back should come together quickly.
I've also been working on some EPP to created the front panel of my new sewing machine cover. I finished one cover already, but my second machine is getting a bit jealous.
This project is a bit slow going, but it's an excellent project when I'm away from my machine.
I also had the privilege to attend a wedding last weekend for the lovely couple who received the wedding quilt I finished a few weeks back. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception. I even got my husband of 9 years to dance with me for more than one song...a first in our marriage. :)
I've also gotten to snuggle with the beautiful daughter my best friend just adopted. Here is a sweet picture of her new baby.
She's already snuggling with her new quilt, which makes me smile.
Oh yay for your friend and getting to see your quilt getting love already! I hope you get in your photo shoot, and the HST sneak peek looks great.
ReplyDeleteLovely work. I clicked through your link to the happy couple's gift quilt and I just LOVE what you did with the back--two quilts in one! I've been aiming for that kind of idea with some of my projects. I'm going to steal your idea in the future. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's for the back? Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in your HST quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's so great seeing your quilts being loved! My husband doesn't dance, either- his only fault. I guess I'll keep him.
ReplyDeleteI love those HSTs!! You look very organized. That photo of the baby with her new quilt is darling. Nice of her to coordinate her headband with the quilt top.
ReplyDeleteLove the hexies!
ReplyDeleteLove the HST quilt and such pretty hexies!
ReplyDeleteso much fin going on! and it happened again - i was browsing the link up thumbnails and thought, "ooh! what's that?" and it was you, of course. the hst's are looking fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove those HSTs! Can't wait to see the back you're using them in.
ReplyDeleteLet the randomness prevail! You're showing that random is awesome and making it look easy, too. Random is so hard for me :). Best, Kate
ReplyDeleteThat cover is going to look great!
ReplyDeleteThat is a LOT of HSTs. They look great. The colors are stunning. What a fun backing.
ReplyDeletecan see the back of the quilt is going to be so interesting worth all the left overs, will make it a double sided one. Good to see the EPP coming along, I find it so relaxing to do. What a little beauty the baby is and definately has a stitchers eye, enjoying the quilt looking so cosy there
ReplyDeleteThose HST look like that should be the front, so pretty! Do you have two pieces of tape on your machine?? I love the hexis too I still need to make a sewing machine cover or two for mine!
ReplyDeleteLove the random triangles, and I love the idea of making a hexagon sewing machine cover. Great work!
ReplyDeleteWedding quilts and baby quilts are so wonderful to make (and receive) Wonderful projects that you have here
ReplyDeleteBusy bee! I love the random half-square triangles. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. And I am glad the eep bug seems to have bitten you. I love your hexis!
