Sew Busy

I have actually been quite busy with sewing despite the beautiful weather.  When my son goes for his afternoon nap, I hit the sewing machine & sew, sew, sew.

This week's sewing projects:
  • Fandango: quilt top & backing done, quilted, just working on the binding now
  • Black & White: quilt top & backing done, awaiting quilting & binding
  • quilt top finished in blue/teal/lime/white
  • Modern Workshop: cut from 42 layer cakes into 84 squares, re-sewn into 42 4-patch squares; sashing cut & ready for sewing
  • started Rockin Robin Quilt Along (orange/green fabrics)
  • started Summer Sampler Series Quilt Along (pink/brown fabrics)
  • finished a small tablerunner
  • waiting to start the embroidery for the July block for Birdie Stitches Quilt Along
  • picked up the next quilt block (#11 of 12) for the Star Search quilt
  • fabric shopping
  • I'm still trying to find a fabric to be used on my backing for the Patchwork Squared Modern Solids Quilt-Along.

Here are a few photos of this week's projects:
