Plugging Along

Plugging along has it's benefits, I now have a new quilt top.  Bubbles is done!

All seams are sewn.

I'm so excited about the way this one turned out, I want to make another.  Only this time I want to set it different and use all different fabrics for a really scrappy look. (Plus to use up some of the shorter scraps.)

Now to go shop the stash and see what I can find for a backing....

Blocks and Rows

Blocks of curvy log cabins and rows of Lozenges have been happening.  I have about half of my log cabin blocks done.

And the Lozenges blocks are making it into rows.  They are now either groups of 4 or pinned and ready to become groups of 4.  

You'll find me at my machine for a while, sewing, sewing, sewing.  I'm using the Lozenges as true Leaders and Enders for my curvy log cabin blocks.  

(If you click the link it sends you to Bonnie Hunter's blog to her book Leaders and Enders, it explains what a Leader and Ender is.  It's a way to work on 2 quilts at once!)

Still At It

I'm still at it, making curvy log cabins.  Tuesday I had the day off and was hoping to make at least 10 blocks, I finished 9.  I was pretty happy with that amount.  Still have lot more to make.  

One more round to go and this one will be done.  Love how these look all finished!

Bubbles

Last night was the second night of the Bubbles class.  These 5 blocks are ready to go.

It's going to be fun playing with the blocks and deciding on a layout when I have them all completed.

Gathering

I've been gathering up the fabrics I need for my "Bubbles" quilt.  As I was gathering, I've also been sorting my 2.5 inch strips into a 3 drawer plastic chest.  They are divided by lights, mediums, and darks.  I have a ton of cut strips so it was nice to get them organized in this way.  (One April goal accomplished!  Reorganization in my sewing room.)

These are the first round of the "Bubbles" block.  Each one is a different fabric.  I made them the night of class.

I now have all the strips needed to finish the blocks.  Each block has one small square, a strip of white and one of a color stashed in a baggie.  Ready to go!
