I have cleared out almost all of my charity to do list quilt tops this past week. I am hoping to start doing some shopping of fabric in the coming week. Our king size bedspread needs replacement. However purchasing one is not working. In an attempt to do away with a dust ruffle on the bed means the purchased ones are not large enough to cover the bed frame. So I have measured and have a list of how many blocks I will need. Not going fancy here, will let the fabric do the work, but right now shopping for 10 different fabrics and cutting 110 blocks at 11.5 inches with enough to make pillow shames and two accent pillows is on the menu this coming week. Not looking forward to this at all.

Great projects, I particularly love the William Morris one. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful week indeed! You did a lot, and I love this new appliqué block. I hope that you will enjoy making a new bedspread despite the size. Maybe it doesn't need to be done very soon ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the black and white striped border on your top quilt. It really makes it pop and adds a bit of interest to the project.
ReplyDeleteThe Bears 🐻 quilt is really cute, great baby boy quilt.
Your birds are lovely as always. Applique is where your quilting sklls really shine. Gorgeous!!
You had a really productive week. Good luck with the fabric shopping. Finding something for the bedroom is hard.
ReplyDeleteThat striped wide border was an excellent choice. Looks great. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for that big bed quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy week you've had... but well worth it. The quilts are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing up your comfort quilts! A king size quilt! I've never made one that big :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and colorful work. You're so talented.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
I'm sorry that you're not looking forward to your new bedspread, but the William Morris project should cheer you up! So pretty. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Cutting isn't my favorite part either. Have fun shopping though!
ReplyDeleteI like your new applique block. I hear you about shopping for fabric. . .when I'm faced with that task there will be some fabrics I can't seem to feel good about putting in the mix so I continue searching. . . I hope you are able to find what you love quickly!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteGreat work on those donations! Good luck with the bed quilt. Maybe you can mix in another project with it so you feel like you're having fun!
ReplyDeleteThe striped border really adds interest. Great flower too. I'm right there with you on a king quilt but I have no dust ruffle. I haven't found a design I like enough to make a king quilt.Thank you for sharing in Put your foot down.
