Wednesday WIP

It's already Wednesday again and time for a progress report. I didn't manage to squeeze in much quilting this week though. Instead I'm spending a lot of time drooling over browsing though all the amazing quilts at Amy's quilt festival. 

This week I picked up an old project - the 60 degree triangles quilt. I had hoped to finish it before the festival (ever the optimist as I am) but didn't make it in time. The top itself was finished this summer and  it was picking up dust at the shelf. This week I finally basted and quilted it and I'm now adding the binding.

As soon as I pulled it out I immediately fell in love all over again with the  Terrain fabric line. Even if just from one line it doesn't have that 'matchy' feeling to it and I just adore the graphical exprerssion and bright colors.

The binding is my very last of the polka dot fabric left from the square-in-a-square quilt from last year. No more polka dot bindings for a while... I promise.

I just got myself a package of Clover's Wonder Clips. Fantastic... Less fiddeling with the binding and it makes it so much faster to sew.

Things I didn't do this week:
  • Lark EPP quilt - unfortunately  - I've had next to no tv time this week so no progress
  • Diamond Chevron QAL - I really did mean to work on this but ended up finishing the 60 degree quilt instead. Next in line though :)

  3. Gorgeous! It looks like you made this by cutting the triangles out of strips made up of two different prints - is that right? The effect is lovely, however you did it - kind of like a kaleidoscope, but easier on the eyes.

  9. Your star quilt is wonderful! I was given a few of those wonder clips, if I could only get to the binding on a project I could try them out :-)

  12. Hi Cille! That's beautiful! I made 'Orange Stones' with the same triangles and the pattern looks quite different - how fun! I would love to make those stars! I have been thinking those clips; must be practical. x Teje
