April is have a spa week, getting all tuned up cleaned up, regular maintenance and new interchangeable feet. I sure do miss her. But when she's back I'll be ready. My "waiting to be quilted" list has gone from 0 to four in just one short weekend. Here's what I have finished up - Lorisquarepants - all 30 blocks done. Measures at 90x 108. Ugggghhh, I know it's going to have some level of shrinkage at first wash and while quilting. Do I make 6 more blocks and just make it 108 square?
Guess what's coming up???
100 Quilts for Kids, that's right and this year it's hosted by Quilts in the Queue. I'm getting a head start with 2 quilts already. The first one is
"Awesome" lap quilt from Moda Bake Shop - goes together so quick and seriously awesome, great name huh? The second one from Fat Quarter Shop free pattern is "
Charm Pack Cherry Quilt Pattern". I made mine one column larger and then flipped 90 degrees.

Check out all the linky love on the side bar, so much inspiration out there in blog land. Have a great week!
that sure is a good bike ride! I wish I could still do that but I'm afraid my knees and hips are for bike riding anymore
ReplyDeleteWell, you certainly do have quite a pile of waiting quilts! I'm sure you will get right into it once April comes home.
ReplyDeleteYou will have those done in no time. They are all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour machine has been humming! Looking forward to how you quilt them!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! Love the name for your chevron quilt... Little Boy Blue. All of your baby quilts are adorable. And your Lorisquarepants quilt is gorgeous. If you are at all concerned about the size, add the extra blocks. I am usually happier in the end when I do.
ReplyDeleteI say, you got some serious piecing done! You must sew at the speed of light. I can only imagine that it is separation anxiety with April away.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great! I cannot wait to see your amazing quilting on these tops :)
ReplyDeleteI love the chevron quilt! I might steal your color scheme. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are getting so much piecing done. I particularly like the chevron quilt and your choice of colors.
ReplyDeleteWow - all wonderful tops - I especially like Lorisquarepants. You've given me a name for my new machine - think I'll name her May as I bought her on the last day of May.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are ahead of the Game for QFK quilts. The Chevron's are always good for little guys! It's good to take the time to Piece while your April is having a spa day or two.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt tops! Can't wait to see the quilting
ReplyDeleteThey all look great. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you got so much piecing done and haven't wasted any of your time! Soon she'll be back home.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Quilts!
ReplyDeleteLove lorisquarepants! Is it a pattern or just block directions? I'd love to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilts, especially the one with the solid fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing that Charm Pack Cherry pattern... love your version in the solids! And the chervron quilt is looking great too. Would you mind sharing a little more about 100 Quilts for Kids?
