WIP - 1/24/2024 from Urban Quilter

In progress this past week:

I prepped the pieces for hand applique on the 3rd block of my Jacobean quilt.
While I was set up with the light-box I also traced a small stained-glass fish pattern for an applique technique I want to try.
I traced just over half of the leaf applique shapes for my tropical quilt, and realized I need to get more fusible to finish that up. I ordered it so it should arrive soon.
I got started on the green scrap quilt for RSC24-January.
While I was looking for lining for a dog coat I found ...

Finish #4 of 7 from Urban Quilter

Flower Boxes Quilt

I am continuing to make progress on my goal of finishing 7 of my in-progress quilts by the end of the year. This quilt was made from a Moda jelly roll (Sew & Sew by Chloe's Closet) which I won as a door prize at a guild retreat a few years ago. I added the lavender fabric for the border but otherwise this is just the jelly roll. The pattern was super quick to put together, though as is often the case arranging the blocks in a way that I was happy with took longer than actually ...

Finish #3 of 7 from Urban Quilter

My guild does a Mystery Quilt each year, and it is usually designed by one of our guild members who does a fabulous job creating beautiful quilts for us to make. Back in 2019 or so I decided that I needed to participate in this activity and assembled all the fabric I needed for the Mystery from my stash. I have finally finished that quilt. I quilted it with lots of circles, which looks good but took forever.

Finish #2 of 7 from Urban Quilter

I set it as a goal to try and finish 7 in-progress quilts by the end of the year. This is the second one completed. I didn't do the lovely English-paper-piecing (EPP), someone in my Quilt Guild did, I was just charged with quilting it. It will be donated through the Guild's "A Quilted Gift" project.

Finished Quilt (on a cloudy day)

I used an overall stipple pattern in neutral thread (I didn't want the quilting to overwhelm the piecing) and the same quilting in green thread to blend into the borders. I had never quilted EPP ...

Sunday Stitching Post #16 from Urban Quilter

Since my last update I have done quite a bit of sewing. I finished my August OMG and have been working on baby quilts from my scrap bins. I'm going to try to complete a top for a baby or lap-size scrap quilt each month and ideally quilt one as well. All the finished scrap quilts will go to my Guild's charity quilt project. I have made 2 tops since the beginning of August so am on track so far. I have been collecting ideas from instagram (the hashtag #scrapquilt is great for this) and various blogs in ...

Scrappy Baby Quilt from Urban Quilter

A Finished Top

I have been trying to work through my stash and have been playing around with scrap fabrics. This project is a baby quilt that began with a balloon print that I got in a kit from my Guild's donation quilts committee. It had a red print with it. I added orange, blue, and green scraps and ended up with a fun, bright quilt top. I pieced a backing from larger pieces of an orange, blue, and green that I used in the blocks and will use the original red fabric from the kit as the binding ...

Sunday Stitching Post #15 from Urban Quilter

I spent this past week with my niece, much of it at the beach, so almost no sewing got done. (It was a great week though!) I managed to miss the deadline for posting my OMG finish for July. I did complete my goal several weeks ago which was to finish my bargello quilt. The UFO challenge project for July was my Guild Mystery Quilt which I got out, selected quilting thread for, and began quilting it. Not much progress, but some.

Bargello quilt finished and hung up
