WIP Wednesday Sewing up a Mess!

Okay, this week has been another crazy one.  (But I DO crazy for some reason.)  For you accountant/payroll types, you know that 1Q 2014 tax filings are due by today.  Fun stuff!  Yeah, um hum.  On top of that, I had 34 scrub tops to embroider with names, etc.  34.  THAT really cut into my quilting time!  And my sewing room is a mess.

But when I did get a chance to get some sewing in, I worked on this baby:

Yes, Tula Pink's Mystery Quilt workshop on Craftsy.  The fabric is her Fox Fields line.  I have half of it sewn together.  It has been trickier than I thought to sew the diagonal rows together.  It is a good sized quilt!  (About 70" x 80")  I had to bring my other design wall down from upstairs to fit all the blocks on.  A border to add to the size so it will fit a double or queen sized bed?  Hmmmmm...

I did get some black and white striped binding sewn together for my wall hanging from Sew Lux Fabric.

 Hope to have that done by Friday!

A pillow top pieced together to go with my Acacia Vintage Quilt Revival quilt.  This is a giant X & + pattern that is featured on Lily's Quilts by Sonia at Fabric and Flowers.  There was some extra fabric cut off of the corner pieces, so I made these...

I need a couple more pillows, so these will be incorporated.  No waste!

Linking up now with Lee over at Freshly Pieced.  What did you sew this week?!

Two 2nd Quarter Finishes!

Woot!  Two finishes for today!  Both have been washed and dried.

Last year in the CCMQG, we did a block bee.  Each person picked 4 one yard pieces of fabric.  I picked the Sketch fabrics.  We took home a different person's (or two) fabrics each month and made a block.  These are the ones that I got back!  I used Sun Text fabric for the sashing.  The binding is Paint Box by Cynthia Rowley.  The quilting pattern is broken glass.  It ended up about 46" x 60". 

The other finish is quilt for a baby girl.  Her Mom and Dad are water people, so Out to Sea by Sarah Jane was a fun choice.  The front:

The back:

WIP Acacia Vintage Quilt Top

This is one quilt that is turning out as I had hoped.  It isn't too hard to screw up with Tula Pink and Vintage Quilt Revival!   I am really enjoying this one, paper piecing and all.  I want this for our guest bedroom, so I am going to add borders to make it queen size.   I plan on making pillows and shams with the leftover Acacia fabric.   And how to quilt this one??  Ideas welcome!

Linking up now with Lee at Freshly Pieced.   What are you working on?
