TaDa!

Yipee! Yay! Whoot whoot! I finished my PhD! It is together, quilted, bound and labeled. Size: 90x108". I tried everything but I could not get a decent photo but you can get the idea from this one.

Binding

No picture this time, after all, how exciting is a photo of 13 yards of bias binding? The quilt is quilted and it is down to the binding. Yay!

Double 4-Patch Progress

This quilt is uber-large and I am at the quilting stage. I have a tutorial up on my blog about quilting in sections in case you want to try this technique

Progress Report

I am making quite a bit of progress on this Double 4-Patch. The top is now 3/4 done! I am lovin' how this is turning out!

Double 4-Patch Update

The full report is over on my personal blog: www.thequilter.blogspot.com

The short report is that I now have one quadrant of the top together and a second is on the design wall.

Progress!

Working on the First UFO

I love a good barter and I can't seem to stop trading. What did I do this time? It is for another bronze statue. This is from a young new artist. He wants a king sized quilt in earth tones and I wanted this one of a kind bronze. The majority of the four patches were already made as leaders and enders ala Bonnie Hunter so I didn't have to make too many more. I raided my 5" square bins and came up with a lot that will work by cutting them down to 4.5". The rest of the squares will be cut from yardage and fat quarters. This will be a true scrappy stash quilt even the batting and backing are from stash.

This is  the UFO/WIP that I need to finish first. Stay tuned for progress reports.

My list

Most of these items are in pieces and parts in 12x12" stacking scrapbook bins. I find those are wonderful for stashing UFOs. The Double 4-Patch is the one I signed up to finish, mainly because it is a barter/commission quilt and I have already been paid so I guess I had better do it to it, huh? If I happen to finish other along the way, so much better. Thanks for letting me play along.
