I finished my secret project on Sunday and added stay stitching all around the edges yesterday. The back should arrive from Whittles today and after a quick run through the washer and an overall good pressing of top and back, I'll be off to the quilter Friday morning. This quilt was challenging for a number of reasons, but went together very quickly once I had a plan. You'll have to wait till the end of the year to see it, though!
Late yesterday afternoon I put my Tiny Tuesday RSC2019 blocks on the wall to see what, if anything, I need to complete it.
We are having replacement windows installed throughout the house starting next Tuesday and they have asked that we clear an area of about 4 feet around each window. So I have already begun clearing off the Koala table and closing up the extensions.
That's how it looked when we first moved in; it hasn't been that clear since! This is last night ...
I want to remain functional until the installers actually show up at the studio door, then I can roll it to the other side of the room. In fact, I'm thinking about relocating to the other side of the room permanently where I could have arm's access to the closet shelves ...
That's a project for another day. Right now I need to get those Tiny Tuesday blocks framed and work on a final arrangement. That project will go with me in a couple of weeks when I get away from window work ...
Lovely quilt. So many different patterns in the blocks.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you might need to make one more block also. Have fun getting it to a finished quilt.
Fun to see your TT blocks again! I like the alternating dark and light sashings. It won't take long to get those last few ready to go! You'll love the new windows - worth all the cleaning up!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your secret sewing done, Libby! Are you really all the way up to "T" in working your way through the alphabet? Best of luck finishing up your Tiny Tuesday top!
ReplyDeleteTiny Tuesday blocks are marvelous, Libby.
ReplyDeleteAnd you don't look like you need new windows. Renovations are always a pain but so worth it in the end.
Your Tiny Tuesday project is looking good. What fabric are you planning for sashing, since the blocks are already framed?
ReplyDeleteI like the gray frames for the TT blocks. Isn't it nice to pull out a partially-done project and find out that you've completed more of it than you remembered? Your Koala table set up is impressive.
ReplyDeleteLibby, your quilt top is looking fantastic!! I, too, really like the grey frames around the blocks. It really makes them POP! Good luck with the renovations!! :)
ReplyDeleteNice to see the Tiny Tuesdays out to play! I hope it's headed for a smooth finish!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the windows project! Hopefully that will go smoothly too!
