WIP Wednesday!

So here are the current WIPs -

Supernova! Cut and ready to go!



Well, I still have to cut the white fabric... I'll get to that soon... But I am LOVING the color pallet! Yea!

I finished my second Bottled Rainbow Block!! I went with Yellow this week!


It's very happy! Here it is with the Tangerine block!


I am very much enjoying this Ticker Tape method!!

I haven't done much else! I took a photography class this weekend and have been having a blast taking pictures and editing! It's way hard, but fun! Here is a picture of the little man that I took:

That's right. I edited frosting off from his face!! Fun, yes? Photoshop rocks. Okay - back to sewing... :)

Diaper Covers

I finished two diaper covers! I like how they turned out, but I am still going to call these "prototypes". I have a few ideas to make these even better, so stay tuned for more of these cute little projects!



I am so excited to take my photography classes tomorrow and Saturday! The pictures on this blog are about to get much better! ;)

WIP Wednesday

Okay - here are my current WIPs!!

First, I did get the rest of my prints for the Supernova Quilt-a-long! I think this is going to turn out fabulous! I am thinking, though, that I will do 12 blocks instead of 9, to make it bigger. I am going to give it to my hubby to replace this super sad 15 year old "well loved" quilt that he won't let go of, so it needs to be really good sized. Here is the stack of prints:


Second, I have (finally) made some progress on the diaper covers!


I am taking a photography class this weekend, and the gal I am making these for will be there, so I want to get them done by Friday to give to her. So far, I am liking them. I had some inspiration last night too, so I have a few ideas for the rest. Muahaha! They will be cute! Still have to pick up some elastic, though!

Third, as I posted yesterday, I did my first block for the Bottled Rainbows Quilt-a-long. For my first attempt at ticker tape, I think it's good. It can only go up from here. But really, I want this quilt to have a childish feel, so this block is just what I was hoping for! Lots of fun!!


Last, any input on which layout I should use for my HST (half square triangles) baby quilt? I can't decide...



Wish me luck on all these projects!! :)

I get a little excited...

So, I tend to get excited...


I separated a lot of scraps, and I think I am okay on most colors. We'll see...

Then - I went ahead and finished my Tangerine block!!! Orange is my favorite, so I had to start there!! It's not perfect, but I really like it!


I tried to keep it scrappy, not linear or symmetrical. I really want this quilt to be wonky and fun! I also added a white around the edge. I love framing out my squares! I think it will be nice!

Now I just need to dig into my scrap pile and get things going! :) Fun!
