Work(s) in Progress Wednesday

I've been a busy bee, though not a busy blogger.  Been trying to do some spring cleaning, so not much to show and tell about!

But here are the few projects I've been sneaking in between dusting, washing, organizing, and tossing.  At least when quilts are done, they stay done.  Unlike my cleaning efforts.

 1.  Quilting on The Man Quilt.

first time quilting flannel front and back...it's been...educational.

look!  it's spring outside!

2.  The Graduation Quilt, for a friend

first 7 of 12 blocks, fused and cut; will be adding black sashing and borders next

3.  Fussy cutting some border corners for a spring-ish Scrappy Trip quilt:

love that Amy Butler

amazing how quickly things come unpressed when thrown into a corner for a few weeks

Hope you're having a lovely April so far!

The Farmer's Wife (WiP Wednesday)

This is long (long) term WiP, but I got the blocks laid out this week to try and decide if I'm at least close to a quilt.

 Please excuse the un-trim-ed-ness...this is a rough draft.

I think I've decided on the suggested on-point layout.  I considered doing every-other-block, but there aren't any that I really mind, maybe other than Pine Tree, on the diagonal.

Still need a row or two.

And I think I may use the navy from this block, for the sashing corners, to break up the pink a little.

Back to the box!

Scrappy Trip Along - Part 2

I finally got my 20 blocks knocked out.  Assembly was tough.  I don't have the ability to let go, and let things fall where they may.  I arranged, and arranged again.  On an upside, I didn't press the finished blocks (just the tubes), and all the blocks seams, save one, nested together.

Excuse the un-pressed-ness

It looks a little small, even for a throw, so I think I may add a border, and use the red check for the binding.

What do you think?
