Week 21 Of Project 52

Week 21 of Project 52 brings me to this cute little quilt kit I made up when I fell in love with some Gnome fabric.  The Project will use a pattern called "Through the Looking Glass" designed by Sarah Price.  You can find it here if you are interested.

Sampler Class

 We had our last night of Sampler Class this week and I finished my quilt top. 

I usually wait to post tops as I want to get them to the finish line first.  Hope to get this one there soon, but I need a backing for it.  I need to spend some time with my stash and see what I can come up with.  I have a few ideas in mind.

Table Topper

 Another Table Topper is complete!  WooHoo!

And I also did the faux piping.

If you are interested in this pattern, you can find it here at Jean's Etsy shop.  It was really fun to make!

Week 20 Of Project 52

Here we are on Week 20 of Project 52!  Time flies by so fast.  This weeks project is Memories of Alaska 2011.  I bought a little sampler pack of Alaska fabrics, but I don't remember how big the squares were.  These are a few of the fabrics. 

I trimmed them down to 6.5 inch squares and have added a sashing on one side.  The quilt will be based on this pattern: "Hide and Seek" by Jessica Darling for Villa Rosa Designs.

But I don't have 30 squares nor do I have 20 squares.  And that's why this project stopped.  We'll see what I can figure out to get this quilt to the finish line.

Week 19 Of Project 52

Week 19 of Project 52 is done!  I'm getting a few things done which helps to keep me going!  Here is Week 19 Project, the Boxy Quilted pouch in little Fairy fabric.

In addition, our Quilt Guild is doing a Block Lotto every month.  Last month I made these blocks with a theme of red and pink.

And these are the blocks I made yesterday for the March Block Lotto.  The theme for this month is Polka Dot.

The blocks are really fun and easy to make.  It uses a five inch square for the center and the block is called a "polaroid" block.  If you are interested in making your own blocks, here is a free tutorial I found online by Melissa Mortenson at Polkadot Chair blog.  

Hope you have fun making your own blocks!

Week 17 Of Project 52

 Week 17 of Project 52 is now complete!  When I first added it, I thought there was only one bag and instead I had two bags cut out.  Both are done!  

I still have a few more to finish.

Update On Project 52

 A little update on Project 52, I finished Week 18 of Project 52.  TaDa!

And this is why I always take so long to finish one Project, as I work on others at the same time:  two more quilted boxy pouches!

There is a story behind these two bags.  Last month a friend won these two FQ fabrics at Quilt Guild but she didn't want them as she is trying to clean out her sewing room.  And she gave them to me.  So, I made up the little bags and gifted them back to her last night.  It was a WinWin, she got some little bags and I got to play with the cute fabrics!
