One Monthly Goal -February Completed?

 I had two quilts to bind this month. Here is my original post with all the details. That is all I set myself for February. A task that really should have been achieved. In theory it should have been completed but in my world things always go a bit haywire, things don't go to plan, something else gets in the way and so on.

In the end I got just over halfway through February goal. One quilt was totally completed.

The other quilt got the binding attached to the quilt but I have only just started the final step to finish the binding off. It shouldn't take me too long to finish it off now that I am at this stage.

Until Next Time

My Stitching Snapshot #8

 This week hasn't seen as much sewing as I want but there was some progress.  hough my weeks never have as much sewing as I want.  Sunday had me doing some Quiltworx homework. Another section nearly completed, which I did complete on Monday.

A little bit of binding on Monday after completing the above task.

Tuesday  had me working away on these four Patch blocks for Dust off a Quilt Book Blog Hop.

Wednesday I finally finished the binding on my motorbike quilt in the evening in front of the TV.

Thursday meant I could start the binding on my other quilt niw the Motoerbike quilt was completed. Still plenty more to go on this one, you will see again next week for sure.

No sewing on Friday I did a little bit of cutting but that was it. So Saturday afternoon I managed to start this section of my Coral Reef  quilt.

These are the projects that I was working on this week, as always there is plenty of other projects waiting to be completed and started.  I am never without a project or two.
Until Next Time

Stitch and Quilt

Creatin' in the Sticks

I have had a busy start to the year, so the plan was to do a small project. Placemats or maybe a small table topper was the plan. I picked the fabric and cut enough to sew a sample block to check I was happy with it.

At that point something happened! I found myself picking another striped fabric and cutting into that one along the first one. I needed more blocks.  As you can see I started with the one on the left and then add the red one. Picture of bolts to prove I didn"t sew the red one.

Cutting /Sewing frenzy at this point.  A Blissful sewing session  happening. Chain piecing, the music going and so on.

All of a sudden I had 30 Four Patch blocks made and I had whipped up a small quilt rather than a place mat or table topper. 

This is where I got stuck. A border or no border? As I was sewing it I was thinking no border but then I thought a solid border and then maybe one of the stripes I used in the blocks as a border. Choices?

 So I had a little give away for you. The prize is this striped bundle below -4 x 50cm width of fabric = 2 metre of fabric.

All you have to do to be in the draw to win  this prize is let me know what you would do with the quilt top. Leave it as is, maybe add a border or two, you tell me what you think would look good. On the 1st March 2021 I will draw a winner for this prize from the comments left.

If you have missed any days of this blog hop you can find the full schedule here.

 Until Next Time
