Tuesday's Design Floor


I'm still in summer mode here, and here is the sewing to prove it!



The little twister cherry runner top is done, I need to quilt it.



See the little cherry cornerstones? :-}


I know, I didn't use all the fabrics I showed before, but they didn't play well in the pattern. I may need to try something else with those...





The "Pineapple Blossom" was waiting for me to figure out the sashing and wonky star, I think it's gonna work out, hope so, anyway.



I'm not sure after I did it, what do you think? Anyway, I need to lay all the blocks on the bed today, and figure out the placement. You may recall, this was a Block Lotto challenge for May, originally from Bonnie Hunter....


I like the extra texture that comes from the white-on-white pieces ~

I appreciated the design and kept it going for the month of June, ha ha! Lydia keeps telling me this one is her wedding quilt. She says,"With so many quilters in my life, I didn't get one wedding quilt!" (I had to remind her of table runners and wedding dresses... ahem...)








I've finished 10 squares for the Block Lotto for July, that's the limit for the month for exchange.




This "Liberated Checkerboard" has to be the most fun I've had sewing a block, Sophie's step by step pictures on Flickr made it so-o easy... I may have to do more of these ~

TTFN!
tah-tah for now!

    Such neat fun projects you have going there. I adore table runners. I made a casserole cover out of some of the black with cherries fabric and it turned out great. So many fun things to do. Hope you are enjoying your summer to the max, Pokey! Hugs, Carol

    Wow girl! You sure aren't pokey when it comes to quilting!! I can't believe you already have that done! I adore the cherry fabric, it turned out darling!

    The Pineapple Blossom is beautiful too! My favorite part of the quilt... the wonky star! =]

    Poor Lydia, I agree with her... she needs a wedding quilt to pass on down to her kids one day... hint, hint.

    The wonky checkerboard is adorable! Love your sashing idea for the Pineapple blossom, and the little twister cherry runner is too cute. Summer fun--the quilter's way :)

    Gosh, you've got some pretty things in the works! The table runner is super cute! Those cherries in the border fabric remind me of Mary Engelbreit (I just found a 2011 ME calendar at Goodwill for a buck something...sorry to traipse off on a tangent).

    The wonky stars in the sashing are inspired, I tell ya. Talk about gorgeous blue-greens!

    And the checkerboard - what fun! I wanna try that block!
