And Now For Something Completely Different

WIP WEDNESDAY lots of different projects this week

Warning: many photos.

Despite my dodgy knee which had me in bed or lying on the couch most of the weekend, I seem to have achieved quite a lot this week.  Still no finishes but I've worked on a variety of things. I'm so glad I had some English paper piecing to work on, and the Amitie Circle Game BOM couldn't have arrived at a better time. It meant I could keep myself occupied even though I couldn't stand and rotary cut fabric or sit at the sewing machine for more than a few minutes.
This week was a bit of a change of scenery for me with my sewing projects.

I finished another PP flower and started playing with joining diamonds.

I practiced the Circle Game block using Kaffe, wow it's vibrant. You might need your sunglasses for this one.

Starting on the "real" one now, all pinned and ready to sew.

I worked on the Flurry quilt, and finished all 16 of the box blocks.

Here's some of the blocks ready for sashing. I still need to cut out 289459843  2 1/2inch strips for sashing. I've been putting that off for as long as possible. It's not my idea of fun.

A sneak peek at this month's Monochromatic block. For once I haven't waited until the last minute. I still have to embroider the centre but at least the block is sewn.

Another Mystery Quilt star block finished. It's not as odd shaped as it looks. I still haven't started Week 5, but it involved much more rotary cutting so I made this one instead.

Finally I was supposed to put borders on the French Roses quilt, but as I was making it as a quilt as you go quilt, the broders needed to be quilt as you go too. I wasn't feeling the love for that so I've been putting it off. Every now and then looking at it and then deciding it was too hard.

The colour in this photo is a bit off and drab, the photos below are more accurate.

Yesterday I finally came to the conclusion that it was never going to be finished if I had to put borders on it so instead I opted to make some more blocks to make it bigger and do away with the borders.

It didn't take me long to cut up the background fabric, the batting, the backing and all the pieces for the flowers. All that's left to do is quilt the blocks and sew them together.  Now it's going to be 7 blocks by 5 instead of 5 by 5 with borders added.  Hopefully it will be finished very soon and that will be one less WIP, yay!!!!
