Another Wednesday! It seriously cannot be May yet but here we are. I have been attacking my scraps with a fury lately (much to the chagrin of my hubs). Scraps are a messy affair.
Mucho mucho progress made on my sister's apiary quilt. It's all yellows and neutrals. On Saturday I started chain piecing the top (above photo). I have managed to finish the top, the back, and quilt it. I cut the binding out last night and am hoping to start binding it tonight and get in some quality time with The Doctor.
I also made two more of my pouches. The pouch construction is the noodlehead
open wide pouch. A tutorial on how to make the patchwork panels is coming soon.
I've been inspired by the
string fever posts by Rachel at
Stitched in Color. I am working on making some isosceles triangle string blocks and a tutorial will be up with these in the very near future. So you can see lots of fun tutes to look forward to.

I love your pouches! The piecing is great. I love how the stars pop out of the neutral background.

ReplyDeleteI love those string blocks! I have been on a zipper pouch kick--I've made at least 9 recently (including one with a paper pieced TARDIS on it--I will post those photos soon).
ReplyDeleteOh man, those pouches are amazing!! And I can't wait to see this finished quilt. That was fast turnaround!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the projects here--so fun to see use of scraps in that String Fever! Your zip pouches are darling, too--is that embroidery I spot on the front? Wow!
