WIP Wednesday

Well it has been another busy week in the sewing room.  I am getting through some of the projects I've got laying around which is nice.

I started a Chevron quilt quite a few months ago.  I made all the HSTs which you can see here but that was as far as I got.  The other day I was forced to try HSTs again in Amy Gibson's 2012 BOM from Craftsy.  After watching her video and giving it a try, it really wasn't as hard as I remember.  So it got me thinking about the Chevron quilt again and all those HSTs sitting in the box.  I grabbed the box and within 4 hours I had this...


In order from top to bottom the colours are Kona Orange, Corn Yellow, Citrus, Sour Apple, Fern, Jade Green and Bahama Blue.


I was happy with the way my seams all came together as well.  They aren't perfect but good enough that I'm happy with them (which I tell myself is the main thing).

My other work in progress that got some attention this week was the 2012 BOM from Craftsy.  I am really enjoying these blocks.  You can see 2 other blocks here which are also from Joel Dewberry's Notting Hill collection.


Firstly February's BOMs


 Balkan Puzzle


Chunky Chevron

I then jumped to June so I could create some extra scraps and then I'll go back to March.


Octagon


Greek Cross


And lastly here are the 6 blocks all together.

And for one last project I started this Lazy Suzy Throw at my sewing class with Sew This & That.  We used a Charm Pack and Jelly Roll to make these easy blocks.  I've used Posy by Aneela Hoey.


In 2 weeks we'll be back at sewing class to do the borders for this front.

Sorry for all the photos this week but there was a lot happening.


I am linking to WIP Wednesday and Fabric Tuesday.

  12. What great projects! I love your Chevron. I worked on a zig-zag/chevron design too, but made without any HST's. Interesting how many different ways you can get similar designs.

  15. Hi, I'm visiting from WIP Wednesday, your Chevron quilt looks great and thanks for referencing the colours. I love your BOM's too, I'm trying to finish up my sampler quilt but I may have to make another one as I keep seeing more great blocks than I have space for! :o)

  16. They all look great Kirsty! Congratulations. I'm crocheting a chevron blanket at the moment (for baby no 2 due in June). Seems a lot easier than quilting. I love the Lazy Suzy throw...do you promise it's easy? I'd love to make something like that but am a pretty lazy/amateur sewer.
