April OMG Success: Anders' Grad Quilt is a Flimsy! from Cheeky Cognoscenti

It's the last day of April, and I'm crossing my big One Monthly Goal off my list in the nick of time. I feel like that player in Sports Ball who slides into Home Plate right before whatever happens that makes him Struck Out instead of Safe. That other dude who is dressed like a cross between a skunk and a raccoon yells SAFE -- and the crowd goes wild!!

Design Wall Monday + Tuesday's To-Do List: Giverney Teleidoscope is Nearly a Flimsy from Cheeky Cognoscenti

As of Sunday night, here's what Anders' high school graduation quilt looks like on my design wall:

All Nine Rows Completed!

All of my 11" kaleidoscope blocks now have their corners attached, and they are all sewn together into nine horizontal rows with their points matching up neatly at the seam lines. Now all I need to do is to sew those rows together into a finished quilt top (or "flimsy") before I can load it onto my long arm frame for quilting. My One (Two!)

Hello, hello, and happy Thursday! Is it a "sunny day, sweeping the clouds away" where you live today? If not, don't despair -- "I can tell you how to get, how to get to Sesame Street..."

Seriously; by the time I finished quilting this one, I could NOT get the Sesame Street songs out of my head. "C is for cookie, it's good enough for me. Cookie cookie cookie starts with C!"

Another Month, Another Goal... Or Two: Of Bear Paws and Kaleidoscopes from Cheeky Cognoscenti

I was long-winded on the topic of that vintage Economy quilt yesterday, so today's post is going to be Short and Sweet!

I have a Major Goal for April as well as a Minor Goal. The Minor Goal is to get my Color Outside the Lines bear paw quilt off my WIP list. That entails labeling, binding, and hand finishing the binding on this one. After clearing off the heaps of fabric debris on the cutting table from my kaleidoscope, I finally had room to trim the bear paw quilt and machine embroider its label yesterday.

Guess what? If a quilter spends less time writing about quilting on her blog, she can get more actual quilting progress completed in her studio!
