WIP Wednesday ~ Quilt-Alongs are Coming Along

Hello! Let me re-introduce myself....I'm Deb, the missing-in-action blogger on Mountain Musings for these past few weeks. A big thank-you to Hannah and Sarah for covering for me until I found my way back here.

So...would you like to see some Works-In-Progress I've been sewing lately?

This is the first block from Moose on the Porch Quilts Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt-Along. There's still time to join in if you'd like. New blocks are posted every two weeks...I like the pace.

I'm using a Charisma by Chez Moi jelly roll from my stash, and since I love RED, I really love how this block turned out with the bright red borders framing the 9-patch smaller block.

In fact, I like this block so much that I might scare up another jelly roll and do a second quilt at the same time as this one.

Next is the Pinwheel Sampler Quilt-Along over at p.s. i quilt. This is the first pattern, and we make 2 blocks weekly of each pattern.

Kate Spain's Verna layer cake is the fabric of choice for this quilt-along. It's so springy, and I love it!

Here are the second two blocks made up with the standard pinwheel pattern that's most familiar. Again, I love the bright reds in this grouping.

I'll begin on blocks 5 and 6 starting the third pattern today. 

Also this morning I'm washing the finished (yay!) Road to Spring quilt from Randi's recent quilt-along. I finished hand sewing the binding this week, and a picture will be ready to post by tomorrow.

In other news, we picked up Granny over the weekend. She's back with us after spending two months in SC with my sister.

It's good to have her here again; she says she wants to watch me quilt today. :)

Beautiful quilts! One day I really want to try this.

Things are very lonely here in SC. Barney hasn't forgiven Granny for leaving him yet.

Welcome back! What beautiful quilts. The girls did a great job keeping up the blog while you were taking a break.
Glad to hear Granny is back. I know y'all missed her.

I need to take your lead and reintroduce myself to my blog readers; it's been very sporadic lately.

I'm loving your quilts! Love love love Verna in the pinwheel quilt. I'm stuck on my Road to Spring at the quilting. I need to get a darning foot to go on my machine (will do that tomorrow when I go to a dr. appt. that is close to the Singer sewing center), and then I have to practice that free-motion quilting a bit before I start on my quilt. I do love my top, though! I think we're going to use his quilt a lot, and I'm considering making another one like using denim for the small squares and various scraps for the rectangles. And I think I've become slightly interested in these more modern quilt designs - they're so easy and quick to throw together. I still want to make a traditional quilt, but these modern ones are lots of fun!

Ok, didn't mean to write a book in your comments. So glad Granny is back home with you! I'm going to have to come meet her someday. Maybe next year? We're planning to take a furlough, Lord willing!
