WIP Wednesday: May 24

(If you are looking for my giveaway, click here)

Otherwise it's Wednesday, so I'm linking up with Lee and

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

Between the rain, hail, air-raid-sirens, and other assorted drama that happens during tornado season (and some bad news not associated with it) yesterday, I was able to spend a lot of time sewing --at least between my feeble attempts to get my puppy to relieve herself. The same puppy who will jump into a body of water on command but will not under any circumstances relieve herself in any amount of rain.

And though I have done a lot of work on my quilting project in the last few days...

Rings and Squares

It just sat in the chair yesterday while I finished piecing these "Puss in the Corner" blocks...

Puss in the Corner Quilt

made from French General's La Petite Ecole line which is a baby gift for some friends of ours. I'm hoping to get it laid out tomorrow and a finished quilt top by the end of the holiday weekend here in the States.

I also got some work done on this new Origami Pinwheel Quilt. I started it in order to do the tutorial, but set the project aside for many reasons but mainly because I may have misplaced it :).

To make a long story short, I found it today. And got pinwheels done in the following fabrics...

Origami Pinwheel Quilt -- #2

and

Origami Pinwheel Quilt -- #2

and haven plans to make pinwheels in the following fabrics...

Origami Pinwheel Quilt -- #2

and

Origami Pinwheel Quilt -- #2

All of the fabrics including the background fabric (Kona in Maize) come from my stash. I think we (and I really mean my mother) will try to machine this quilt too (because she loves me and doesn't hate machine quilting as much as I do), so we can see how this quilt top may look if we quilt the pinwheels as well. So by August, I may have THREE examples of this quilt to show you :)

  4. I love the origami quilt blocks! So clever! Stay safe!!! Our puppy's 3, and still hates to pee in the rain (also a "hunting" bird dog breed). He doesn't like to camp either LOL. Good luck with that!
