This last couple of weeks I have been working on two projects. One for my charity group and one just for fun. Fabric is taking over the sewing room so I have been trying to get around to just doing something with some of these fabric collections besides them just sitting on the shelves in the closet or wire bins.
This wild print collection has been hanging around for probably years in the closet. The idea was to just put something together and give it to my guild's charity group. Somewhere along I sort of fell in love with it. Not my normal fabric choices. The blocks are 9 inches finished, the top three rows are sewn together just finishing up the bottom two now. At 45" square finished it still seemed a bit small and needing some calming down. I decided to find fabric for a border and binding and did get that purchased just this past week. It is going to be a keeper at least until I find another home for it. Stay toned for its finished over the next week or two. Chop Stix5 from last week is finished. It was somewhat of a challenge for some reason. There were several trips back and forth laying it out on the bed to figure out all those sides and corners. This project was a charity group request for me to put together for them. There were a few days when I bundled it up and set it aside thinking it might go back to them half finished. In the end it worked out well and will probably quilt up beautifully.
