Marching Along!

I have somewhat accomplished my February goals.

The next Le Jardin block.  

I chose this one because there were very few pointy leaves!

A Rainbow Garden is half quilted and my hope is to get it finished this week.

Another row is done for my red and green quilt.

I do have another pile of blocks made for Christmas Magic, but they do not make for an interesting picture. 

I did not make any progress on my red and white quilt, but...

worked instead on the long overdue wedding quilt. I also added a dozen or so of the joining hexies to the pile. Hoping this quilt will become my summer finish.

It is not too late to enter the drawing for the Easter Baskets kit.

Just head on over to The Olde World Quilt Shoppe blog and leave a comment.

And remember, if you are a no-reply commenter, there is no way I can notify you if your name is drawn, so your name is not in the drawing.

A Bright Future

My hexie quilt is starting to take form.  

It is obvious to me that imitating the original is the best plan for these bright and busy fabrics.  The inspiration for this quilt came from a picture taken at the 2011 Sisters, Oregon Outdoor Quilt show.  I have tried to find info on the maker to give credit where credit is due, but to no avail.  If anyone knows anything about this quilt...

please let me know.

I thought the gals at Material Obsession might have made it, but could not find it on their blog or website.
Thanks to Janet, I found the maker and a kit for Pansy Patch, by Carolyn Davis.
You can find it here.

For some reason, 

perhaps a female grandchild??,

I am currently drawn to pure, cool hued fabrics.

Good Fortune,

by Kate Spain for Moda,

has really captured my attention..

All I need is a pattern that will allow me to show off the fabrics.

Carrie Nelson, of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company fame,

has posted a tease for a new pattern called BOUNCE.

I am intrigued by the staggered border and cannot wait for it to be available after Spring market.

My Scarlet Hedgehog bloomed.

Also played around with another annual blooming in the yard.

Coral and lime green seem to be calling my name;

 but anyone who knows me well, knows my favorite hues are orange, lime green and purple!

Perhaps I see an art quilt in my future.

January's Goals

Over the holidays, I buttonhole stitched the first 6 blocks of my

 Lori Smith Fit to Frame Number Six 

small quilt.  

Today I cut the wool shapes for the next two blocks.

This is a WIP I have promised myself to complete 

before I start on another new project...

Country Whig Rose by Kim Diehl. 

I continue to make progress on my DD's wedding quilt 

with a few new flowers added to the garden.  

I do have the wool prepped and half way stitched down for this month's stocking.

I have yet to start on the 110 HST's needed to border my 1880 Barbara Buchner Snyder Sampler,

 but that will be my machine project for the month.

So, the only other goal I have for the month is to finish at least one UFO.

This adorable Easter Table Runner is calling to me.

Can I do it?

Check back at the end of the month to see.

What are your goals this month?
