OK, I know I have way more than 3 PhDs but I'm committing to finishing these 3 during the challenge!
The first is a twin sized (at least) selvage quilt. I think I've just run out of enthusiasm for it right now. I've pieced more blocks than what are in the photo but still not enough to finish. There are piles of selvages everywhere in my sewing room and I so want this project over with so I can walk in without stepping on selvages!
This is another big project: a hand pieced, queen size clamshell quilt. This will be only the second quilting project I've ever hand pieced. Progress on it just depends on how much time I have to stitch. During October, I finished 7 of these diamond shaped blocks. In November I finished one and here it is January and I'm still not finished with the ninth block. There's alot of work left to do on this project!
I got a late start on Quiltville's mystery quilt, Roll Roll Cotton Boll. I'm struggling to finish those string blocks, only have 23 done, and am also working on sewing the rows of HSTs together. On Friday, Bonnie Hunter will release the next part of this mystery quilt. A pieced border, perhaps? Help, I feel like I'm falling further and further behind!
I'm for sure not getting anywhere fast when I make mistakes like the one in the block above! I was so pleased that I hadn't chopped off any of the points of the HSTs that I didn't notice the mistake. How could I have missed that? I really hate to pick out seams but I did it and the block is fixed now.
I think my biggest problem lately is not enough time to spend working on the quilts. I seem to be choosing large projects too. In any case, I want these three quilts done by the end of the challenge. There's always another quilt project lurking in my mind and tempting me to start it!
So many quilts, so little time.
I've finally finished my first PhD - Quiltville's latest mystery quilt "Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll"! For now its just a top but I'll be taking it to a machine quilter next week when its a little warmer and easier to get around outside. I probably won't get the quilt back until late March so I definitely wanted to count this as a finish now!
I've been working on it pretty steadily for at least six weeks but now its on to my next PhD - the selvage spiderweb quilt!
