WIP: Keepin' Busy.


This week has been a little of this and a little of that. I had a leftover hourglass unit from my April GW blocks, so I quickly pieced this together. Some of the GW pattern directions are all sorts of confusing, so I'm actually not sure if this is the right size. Thankfully, I'm not the only one having this dilemma. I figure I'll have to wait until I get to piecing the top, and we'll see where I'm at.


I finished up the top of my Mama's Quilt, which is pretty exciting. Full reveal Friday.


I had intended this quilt for my husband's cousin who is expecting, and I cut 5.5" squares with plans for simple patchwork, but after speaking with her, I had a better idea. I expect I'll donate this one to Project Linus when it's done.

And that's just a bit of what I've been working on this week! What have you been up to? I'm linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.

    1. Thanks! I think those monkeys are absolutely awesome. I think they come in a couple of other colorways too, though I can't think for the life of me what colors off the top of my head. :) They're from a line called Imaginarium.

  7. Love the classic patchwork style of your Mama's quilt. Do you ever have troubles with the dark seam allowances showing through the white background fabric?
