Works in Progress (1/29/14)

I've had a busy week, with lots of projects in various stages of completion!
I finished up my blocks for my do. Good Stitches bee,
scrappy inverse stars (tutorial here).

(Before)
(After)
I'm trying out making fabric covers for these bins from Ikea.  I'm planning to post a tutorial once I'm happy with the measurements and the way the covers fit.  This is going to give my basement storage a much needed makeover!

 I've also been working hard at finishing up this quilt top:
 I completed the last few blocks yesterday, and now just need to get them all sashed and into a quilt top.  I'm hoping I can finish it by Friday, to enter it into the contest at Sew Sweetness.  The winner gets to have their quilt top quilted by Angela Walters -- what a treat that would be!

  3. you have some lovely things here today, both block designs and fabrics used are so easy on the eye. All my tula blocks sashed but have made 16 into a lap quilt so now wondering whether to re do those 16 or just put the other 84 into a quilt, they are spread out on the lounge floor, just as well i live on my own!

    1. Great Sugar Pop blocks! I really like how you alternated how the blocks were set.
