I have been on a roll the past two weeks trying to finish up my WiPs.
I did have 2 finishes this week - my improv log cabin pillow top that I made a few weeks back, and some plain pillow covers I've been meaning (for a LONG time) to make to revamp my living room couch.
The blue and green paisley/floral pillow behind the improv block pillow is one of the other pillow covers I made.
My other WiPs worked on this week are:
I got MOST of the binding on my nephews quilt. But when I had it all sewn on and ready to join the ends, I decided I didn't like how the fabrics were joining on that side (it is a scrappy binding and there was too much orange on the side where the ends were joining), so I have been doing a little unpicking and cutting and adding until I have it fixed a bit. I will have that done by tonight.
I am just about done with snipping the rag edges on my son's Toy Story rag quilt. I think I have one row of blocks and the outer edge to do and then I will be done. Because it is hard on my hands, I only clip a few rows each night, hence the reason it has taken its time being completely finished!
And I had mentioned last week that I found a decade-old, unfinished baby blanket in a box in the garage and decided to throw a binding on it and get it finished and usable
So while I was at Walmart one day, I stopped in their fabric section (since I had no plans to drive out to any other fabric stores for awhile) and found this pink floral in a tone pretty darn close to the pink in the quilt.
This is one of those "Get-It-Done" projects for me, so I was not picky about finding the "perfect" fabric. And I think it cost me all of $1.28! Not bad for a free blanket that has been long neglected! I am just going to machine bind it, so this shouldn't take me much time to finish off once I sit down to do it.
I also finished up another block for the Virtual Quilting Bee at Diary of a Quilter. This one is called "Going Dutch".

Your pillow looks fantastic! I love the colors. It sounds like you had a productive week and will be posting lots of finishes next week :)
ReplyDeleteThe Toy Story quilt is adorable! My son has a love for that movie too! So sweet! Your pillows are so beautiful and inspiring me to revamp my pillows too!
ReplyDeleteLove those pillows!
ReplyDeleteThat old quilt looks familiar. Is it one I helped you tie way back when? I think that quilt block may just be my favorite yet.
