#projectquilting

Gah! I’m so happy I let this blue and white quilt summer on my design wall today! As I was Sewing on my other two projects I remembered that I had these fabulous laser cut snowflakes from @laundrybasketquilts !!!! Swipe to see how the quilt started today - the first picture is where I think I’m stopping (well at least before I quilt it!). #projectquilting #blueandwhitequilts #improvquilt #pqseason10 #miniquilt #quiltchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Btmz4LenMOi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vflf5e6aj9jc

I've had this quilt on my head for months and now that season 8 of #projectquilting is over ... it's on my #mustmake list. It's going to be ombres and amazing!!! #igquiltfest @amyscreativeside

#binding hand sewn or machine? #igquiltfest @amyscreativeside I'm a hand sew girl. I just can't get the machine method to work for me and the hand seen always does. Sometimes to jazz up a binding I'll add a flange. Typically these are about a quarter inch but sometimes I'll go a little bigger so I can tack it down to the binding and create a "wavy" effect ... #justbecause #localfoodsgrowstrongcommunities #projectquilting

The trick to embellishing is knowing when to stop. I have no idea... #pqseason8 #projectquilting #timeisup

Starting to quilt my #pqseason8 piece. I started with some rounds of 50 wt 2600 (silvery) from @aurifilthread any guesses on my next thread color? #morningmake #projectquilting #walkingfootquilting

And this is where I'm leaving my #pqseason8 piece for tonight. The larger quilt needs to be quilted and bound and the smaller quilt needs to be attached. I still have about 60 hours ... #makeitwork #projectquilting

Making progress on my #pqseason8 quilt ... I can't stop cutting away more of the colored parts... 😳😲 we will see how this progresses ... #projectquilting #heatnbondtransfersheets

My plan for the final #pqseason8 challenge has begun ... I want to layer ... a lot but not sure how it will handle being quilted ... thinking of making a couple of deprecate pieces and then tacking them together ... there will be cut aways so you'd see bits of the bottom quilt ... again ... not sure on the feasibility of the dream in my head.
