This week is a light sewing week for me. I had a bunch of accounting and editing to do on the work front, and on a personal front, we bought a car, Ellie’s first birthday party is Saturday, and my sister-in-law and brother-in-law will also be visiting.
I did finish up the blocks for the Sherbet Pips quilt, and am about halfway through sewing them all together. I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the backing and am having a hard time narrowing it down. We’ll have to see what happens, but I would love to make a few moments to finish them both before Friday! (Mainly so I can put the giant stacks of fabric away!)
Here’s a look at all the blocks on my pretend design board as they looked this morning and a peek at one of my favorite details in the quilt that I snuck into one of the final blocks.
Fran - Absolutely LOVE it! And the snail is just perfect!
Kristie at OCD - Love the snail!
Looks great, Traci. My Pips quilt is almost done as well. I went with a simpler pattern this time around, and have my second layer cake on reserve for another…..Such a fun line! My middle daughter has already requested a quilt of “only grey, pink and blue puppies.” Since I already spent a fortune on the Far Far Away 2 line for a quilt for her, I am trying to talk her out of it….but those puppies are pretty darn cute!
Vickie - Fabulous! Well done, Traci.
Jessica - It’s beautiful! Such a fun quilt!
Jacey - The little snail is a great detail. It’s looking great!
Louisa - What fun! I love the idea of adding small surprises like the snail in a quilt.
Beth Moore - Love, love, love this!!! I envy your talent!
Carolyn - Hey there. I found your blog through the fan photos from Simply Solid Fabric. I loved your Dr. Seuss! Seriously fantastic! And I love this quilt. I’m working on a quilt for my daughters with some vintage sheets and from my stash. This quilt has inspired me. Good work my friend. P.S. Your little baby is adorable!
