Design Wall - April 8, 2013

I have been working on my Road to Home (Round Rock).  Since I was caught up with it, I dug into the swap block basket and pulled out a bag with these.  There were 50- 6.5 inch blocks so I am doing a 7 x 7 using 49 of them.  The blocks are together, will get the rows sewn, borders on and will then be able to cross another one off the list. A really good feeling!!!!

    R2RR is pretty -- but what intrigues me is the kid-print. I'm always interested in new ways to make I Spy quilts, and you've just provided one.

    I agree with Nann. That's a great idea for setting I Spy squares.

    Love the colors in your Round Rock quilt. That shade of green reminds me of a fabric in one of my grandma's quilts from the 30's.

A little to show this week. First off is a better picture of the Jelly Roll quilt. Still have not decided if I will border it or not. At this point I am thinking not. But then you never know! It doesn't have a name. It was designed by Sue who works at Honey Bee in Austin for one of their strip clubs. It's a combination of a 4 patch, 2", 4" up to 20" strips. While in the motel I also worked on quilt blocks using the MSQC Chevron u-tube video.  Here's 32 of them. Had to do a little frogging on several . there will be 40 total. Think I will make 2 small quilts-4 x 5 with a narrow border of white, then a 4 inch wide print border. One layout I am thinking of using from her video has some half blocks, so I'm not rushing to finish the last few until I get it all laid out. I used a layer cake I had on hand. It's a floral. Forget the name but probably still have the particulars some where! Have several more projects started - the motel was go...

  April 1 2025 And a month later I’m doing a blog post! March was a strange month.  The Weather was crazy- cold days, warm days. Days where you didn’t want to be out much. Smoke from the wildfires west of us,  not to mention the dust being driven to us by strong winds. And very little rain.  Our total so far for the first 3 months.  3.77 inches.  We got .6 while towns along the coast got 14 to 20 this past week. Galen wasn’t able to get out much but he did get a few pictures. He went down to our small lake one afternoon looking for Dragonflies.   While there an Eagle flew in fairly close.  He thought he had seen one a few weeks earlier but it was flying away so he wasn’t able to get any pictures.  This time he did. Eagle at Forest Creek Several times we had Cedar Waxwings in the yard feeding on our Yupon Holly bushes.   They really go after the berries. Galen managed to get one picture with them at the birdbath.  Just befo...

  April 8th 2025 I think we are finally over having cold snaps at least according to Accuweather! This year though I wouldn’t count on it. A couple nights in the 30’s is a little unusual for us right outside Austin. I was able to do more sorting. That proved to be a good thing! Remember this block from last week? I found the pattern! The blocks are sewn into rows now. This is what I have done so far. Thinking of putting a corner stone in the horizontal sashing. Will get it finished this week. I found some fabric that I thought would be good for placemats. Have cut them but need to cut the fabric for the backs. Galen will be away Thursday to Saturday-East Texas trip to see what’s flying. I hope to sew a lot while he is away. Of course plans are always greater than my accomplishments. Too say the very least I have enough here to keep me busy! That about sums it us for us.
