Don't you just love those days where you get a lot accomplished in sewing and finishing up work !!
My Start:
I actually began to put together the first blocks in my Irish Chain Twist Quilt-A-Long quilt.
 |
| Sewing along happily with Melissa at Happy Quilting |
I am making a lap size quilt. The size will be 60" x 70 ".
 |
| The quilt layouts in various sizes by Happy Quilting |
They are : A FQ Bundle of This 'N That by Nancy Halvorsen by Benartex
( am so glad that I waited for "THE right project" to come along, to use this lovely gift bundle!)
For the backing- I will use 4 other fq left from the bundle, plus some Lazy Day (by Riley Blake) floral fabric, and some yellow Michael Miller stash fabrics. It will pieced ... for a fun look.

 |
| I was happy as a clam, after cutting out all of the blocks for a lap size quilt! |
Last week, we began to make the X Improvisational block units.
 |
| I am in love with these aqua fabrics! |
 |
| 84 blocks , saying to me.... "Well here I am! Ready for you to sew !" |
And then, this week... after some trimming , and being "wonky" cut on purpose...
 |
| Now they are 21 Improvisational X Blocks |
 |
| Some blocks are wonkier than others! All of them make me happy! |
Now, I have a cold and wintery Saturday to sew, and have to wait until next Thursday to work on the Twists on Tradition blocks!
My finish:
My "Pink for February" Red Letter Day Mini quilt #177
Design by Camille Roskelley of Thimbleblossoms
 |
| Meet block #4 |

| "Tinkled Pink" Red Letter Day mini 15 " x 15 " by Susie's Sunroom |
In case you were wondering....
Yes, I did have to use my seam ripper AGAIN!
But only for turning around two HST's this time. I must be HST dyslexic.

| I'm off to my sewing room! |

So productive. Love your mini and that Halvoirsen fabric is gorgeous. That is going to be such a spring cheerful quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat color palette - no wonder these blocks are already making you happy!
ReplyDeleteTurquoise, orange and yellow always make me happy! The X-improve is coming together nicely!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a"Whoop Whoop!" from me Susie!
ReplyDeleteFirst because the colors and fabric for your Irish chain Twist are so cool and look amazing. Lemon, orange, ,mint and aqua... I'd be "happy as a clam" too!
Second because Tickled Pink is even more amazing once you realize just how teeny tiny those blocks are! That is One Sweet Quilt!
So many beauties in the making. I really like the colour palette you are working with. The turquoise and the white are so gorgeous together.
