UYO ready to quilt

I was going to sew on Bonnie Hunter's Crystal pattern above but I couldn't find the book in my disaster of a sewing room, but that is another story. I'm thinking one way to clear out this disaster it to finish some of my many works in progress. So I pulled out another Bonnie Hunter pattern Sisters Nine Patch and finished that top.

I had all the nine patch blocks done and had even assembled at least half of it so it was just a matter of cutting some more setting and triangles and putting the rest together. Her pattern was square and I didn't want a square quilt so I left off two rows and I changed the border. I used the same setting fabric for the borders so the the nine patches would float. I have a red print that I got from Donna that I will use for the back and since I didn't have enough of the yellow for binding I think I will just make a scrappy red binding. The best news it that this is one project box empty. YEA!!!!!

Got to get ready for work hope everyone has a great week.

DWM Labor Day

I didn't get a lot of sewing done this week but did play around with this idea for an Alabama quilt. The block is Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Trip Around the World. I am still not sure if it is too busy but if nothing else I will make enough blocks for a baby quilt or a lap quilt. What do you think is it too busy? 

I did get this quilt quilted after much stress over the tension, but everything worked out in the end. 

Still trying to get pictures of the quilting without the flash back. Just did loops on this one. I have the binding sewn on just waiting for next stitch day to do hand work.  

I have the first quarter of this one sewn together and all but 11 stars made, hope to finish this top this week. 

Got to work today but hope to get off a little early so maybe will get some sewing time in today. 

Have a great holiday all.
