Week of Quilts - Day 4

Here I Am Once Again....with my suitcase in my hand and I'm running away down River Rooooaaadd...I have no idea why that song is stuck in my head but it is....and then I think, imagine all the useful stuff I could store in my head if I just got rid of all the crap...like earworms, and my phone number when I was 7 and the licence plate number of my first car LOL

Anyway on to more serious things...

Like the very serious face or eyes of Little OWB who is now my Chief Quilt Holder...and not to be messed with!

So after I made The Giant Kiss/Plus Quilt ( such an original name?!) I had a whole pile of HST cut offs that I couldn't bring myself to throw away.

So I had a stern word to myself, as you do, and said if you're not going to throw them away you have to use them in a project straight away, or it's just more "stuff" you're hoarding for "just in case"

So voila the little Churn Dash Baby quilt was made ( do not laugh at the very serious face! )

I had two attempts at quilting this!!....sigh...kitten rearranged the backing without me noticing and before I pin basted, 10 rows in I checked the back and there were puckers!! Grrrrr!

Luckily at 6" finished blocks it's not a massive quilt so 10 rows didn't take too long to unpick.

I had enough left over vintage sheet from the Giant Cross Quilt backing to use it again on this little sweetie

The binding is a Riley Blake print and I think it's from one of Tasha Noel's lines?

Vintage sheets, strawberries and sweet little Churn Dash blocks seems like they were made for each other!

OK let's link up with Kelly at My Quilt Infatuation for some Thursday fun

WIP's...The Scary Truth

WIP's......how many is too many?

How many is ridiculous?

When do you admit defeat???.......NEVER!

 

 

So let's assess and see how bad it is......

Even if this isn't all of them..........LOVE this one, it even has batting and a backing, just haven't quilted it

 

Churning Octopus??   I need better names...

I bought more of the Tula Pink Octopus Garden to add it as a border but it didn't look right, so I think it may be finished as it is....I don't know...so now it's a WIP ...Miss C loves the octopus

 

Retina Burning Circles??

this one is ridiculous...I just need to applique down the last circle??!!

 

This Star Quilt even has wadding AND a pieced back...but not quilted

 

This is one of TWO Mod Times Quilts, I did not cut the focus fabric in the right orientation...grrr...clearly not thinking at all but instead used it as practice for the next one, which I have yet to photograph...

How my fish should be swimming but they are all vertically challenged and are going sideways??

 

Blue Amaze- A - Balls?

 

Oh how I love this one, from City House Quilts, the colours are amazeaballs, maybe I should move this one to the top of the finish list?

 

Then there is this one...I feel very "meh" about it even though I still love the fabrics....weird looks really olive in these photos

 

 

 

yeah....nah....go to the bottom of the list Butterfly Mess?

 

 

 

 

This Triangle Pretty?? really, is that a name?...was inspired by Ashley's quilt, if you compared the two you'd think.. "Say What" but it was more the pretty mix of floral and text and solid that caught my eye

 

 

it could jump up near the top of the list.......

 

Will any of these grow up to be a real quilt............what about the others that are yet to be photographed?...will any of those jump the queue to become a real quilt?.......no seriously what am I going to do with all of these??

 

Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced.
