A Bit of this and that

 This last week has been a week of trying to cut fabric for a new quilt (not too successfully) and adding borders to existing quilt tops that have been waiting for a long time

This quilt top was given to me for Oncology, it has now been quilted and moved to the binding pile.
This quilt was made from left over charm packs, it has had a border added and is now in the to be quilted pile

This top was donated for Oncology, it has been trimmed and borders added, it is also in the quilting pile.
My piles are moving from one to the other slowly.
These blocks were given to me, they were left over from a quilt, it is now a flimsy but needs borders. Love the purple batiks in this one.
I have been asked to make a cowboy/horse theme quilt, I have some horse panels to use and am making blocks to add to the quilt

Some cowboy boot blocks, I need to make lots more.
This weeks Anthology block, some of the points do not meet up well, but I feel I am slowly getting better at the one and a half inch half square triangles.
Tomorrow I am off on retreat for part of the week, so I need to be cutting fabric for blocks and packing.
Happy stitching.

  5. Three lovely donated quilts - I particularly like the first one, I love the way the pattern is subtle but still stands out. Lovely purple fabrics and those boots were made for walking! xx

  6. Looks like you managed to make one pile smaller and another pile got taller.

  7. You have made good progress. I love the churn dash ones with the different colours as the backgrounds. A nice variation. The cowboy boots are turning out well.

  13. You have an assembly line set up and it seems to be working well, even if not quickly enough. You know you can't rush love :-)
    I am sure they will get done and provide comfort to their recipients. Have a great weekend, Sue.

  17. I like that boot pattern better than the one I drew for a friend. This one seems easier! It's wonderful to see how many donation quilts you work on, and see them come to a finish. You seem pretty fast to me. Churn dash is always one of my favorite blocks.
