This past week I have been supper busy trying to get some major quilt tops finished and turned into my February Warm Wrapping meetup. Plus I finally got something done on my own major project.
I got the center finished of my Picnic Under the Stars quilt. Now on to a small border and a larger border. It is larger than the pattern measurements as my star blocks unfinished are 11 inches. Right now it is approximately 63 by 83 and adding a 2 inch border and a 4 or 5 inch border will increase it even more. I love it, and can't wait to get it done and off to a quilter.
I appliquéd on the curved pieces on this quilt top.
This quilt top I was very surprised to see that it actually is rather pretty. These three quilt tops were turned in this month at my Warm Wrappings charity quilt meetup. My goal this year is to make 12, basically one each month. I only have to do a quilt top and prepare binding to go with them. Others carry on with quilting, and binding. I am doing fairly well at this point as I turned in 2 in January. So hopefully can keep up the pace and finish off early. Maybe even put a dent in the scrap bins along the way. DESIGN WALL MONDAY

Great tops - really like the visual interest that the arcs provide on the third one.

So many pretty quilts . Your Picnic Under the Stars is awesome. Happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteThe Picnic under the Stars is beautiful. It always feel good to make some charity quilts, helping others and making a dent in the stash too.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Picnic quilt. The way you surrounded the stars with the black/white print really makes them pop. You've been very productive!
ReplyDeletePicnic under the Stars looks great. Your other scrappy quilts turned out well, but Picnic is definitely the current star in your sewing que.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good feeling to use our scraps for quilts to donate isn't it. I really like your black and with with fun colored stars.
ReplyDeleteThe star quilt turned out great! I really love how the colored stars pop out with the dark gray and white background! Lovely! Good luck this week.
ReplyDeleteDonnalee your Picnic Under the Stars quilt is absolutely beautiful. I love the contrast the black/white log cabin blocks and grey squares give to make the stars really pop. Great work on the charity quilts. They are beautiful and will surely make some lucky recipients smile and feel happy. Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday. Hope your week is going well and you are smiling as you keep finishing these lovely projects.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tops. Not even a dent in the scrap bin eh? You know what that means...just need to make more! (I'm right there too!)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely projects! Donating twelve quilts this year to charity is a great goal and will certainly make a dent in your stash. Love your rendition of my Picnic Under the Stars quilt. Can't wait to see the borders you choose and the final quilting! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! What beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteProductive week for you! So many great projects.
ReplyDeleteDonnalee, I love your Picnic under the Stars quilt! But your others are fantastic too! Our guild asks us to do one donation quilt a year. I do have a couple to turn in tomorrow though.
ReplyDeleteHi Donnalee, I just love your Picnic under the stars. I just saw it with the borders on in your other post. It looks great. The colourful stars are so effective with the black and grey backgrounds. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks and have a great week!
