WIP Wednesday



Here is my Sliced Coin Quilt from the Dont Call Me Betsy tutorial.


 And for my other quilt I took inspiration from Jeni at In Color Order with her Plus Quilt Tutorial.

It was a productive week considering how little time I've had to dedicate to sewing.  I managed to get these 2 quilt tops pieced together.  This coming week they'll have a back sewn up and hopefully basted.  Basting is my least favourite part of quilting so it usually takes longer as I build myself up.


You can see that it was blowing a gale Monday when I took the photos.  Wasn't the best day for it.

I'm linking up with  Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday.

  1. What Melissa Said. I also really really like the colors you chose on that plus block quilt; it's got a nice, breezy feel to it even without the wind :-)

  2. Wow, I am so impressed that you have two tops complete in a week! That is amazing. Hobbs fusible batting is your basting friend :-)

  5. Beautiful tops! Basting is also my least favorite part of the quilting process along with starting the quilting. That's probably why I've had a top sitting on the back of my couch for the better part of August!
