WIP Wednesday

It's been a great week!

I was so happy to get Lexi's quilt finished . . . 

mostly so that I could put her Christmas quilt away!

I entered this quilt into the Bloggers Quilt Festival

at amyscreativeside.com -- read more about it here.

Over the weekend I decided to get back to work on my Bottled Rainbows.

And once I got going, I couldn't stop.  These blocks are so much fun to piece!

This pink one is my favorite (and my little artists' favorite too --

we all love pink, and really love cats).

Favorite block

New additions this week

These blocks are each 10.5inches square.

 I had originally intended on doing 16 blocks -- 4x4 to make it square,

because I liked the symmetry of it.

But the last 4 blocks that I had all ready to go had almost no fabric
scraps to go with them.  I just couldn't make it work.

So I decided that I was happy with 12 squares instead.

I'm trying to get this quilt finished up in time for my college reunion (in 3 wks) -- one of my college roommates told me I just had to enter a quilt in the alumni art fair.  I spent an entire day agonizing about which quilt to enter, and when my husband came home, he said "this is it -- this is the coolest quilt I've ever seen."

How interesting.  So this is it!

I just need to decide on a binding fabric.  Nothing in my stash would do, so I ordered 3 fabrics from Etsy and am going to try them out as soon as they arrive.

Almost finished!

I'm still working on these blocks based on Arajane's tutorial here.

I made up some blocks with Kona snow, too (last week I had only done the brown), and am wondering where to go from here.  I have lots more scraps, (Sugar Pop fabric leftover from my Supernova Quilt), so I can make more of either (or both!) colorways.  So far I've thought of 1) keeping things totally separate (make one quilt in brown, one in snow), or 2) throw them all together -- one brown stripe, one snow, another brown.  Other ideas, anyone?
