PLAYCATION WEEK 16

 It's Tuesday at 1pm!  Time for Cheryl Arkison and her Quilter's Playcation 2024.

Here is this week's improv block.  

ROLLED IT FORWARD

 I finally got that first section of the quilting on my Coordinates quilt done and was able to roll it forward to the next section.

Of course there was a bit of fussing to do to get the top lined up to continue the parallel quilting lines.

BACK AT IT

 Finally, I got back to work on the quilting of my Coordinates quilt.  It's been on the longarm for quite a while, languishing.  I had a lot of other things on my mind, was preoccupied and a bit stressed out.  So, it didn't get the attention it needed.  

But, I'm back at it and making progress.

WORKING ON THE BLUE SLABS

 I'm making more blue Slabs and adding them to the wall.  When should I start thinking about joining them together?

Not yet.

BACK TO THE SLABS

 I got out the blue Slabs I made last Friday with Cheryl Arkison on Sew Squad.  And, got busy making more.

I put them up on the wall as I made them.

Love it!

And then, since it's Tuesday at 1pm, it's time for Cheryl again!  It's the Quilters Playcation 2024.

This week's block is about pointy things.  This is week 15.

MONDAY CLEANUP

 First thing up in the studio, I started cleaning up.  I've finished working on the scrappy Checkerboards but the two scrap buckets were a mess.  They were all mixed together. 

During the Brave Patch Monday Sewcial I started sorting them back into their buckets.  I didn't think I'd made a dent on them, but I was surprised that they fit much better now - not overflowing anymore.  So, I guess it worked!

I also put all of the fabrics, mostly greys, away that I had used on the Sunrise quilt.  So the studio is looking a lot better and the cutting table is cleared off.

CHECKERBOARDS TOP

 After lots of missteps, backups and restarts, I finally got the Checkerboards 15-17 top done!

Yea!  It's about 70" by 87".

BABY QUILT FINDS HOME

 While at the birthday party yesterday, I gave my cousin some baby quilts to donate to an organization she is familiar with. 

I also gave one to another cousin to give to her brother's brand new grand-baby.

She sent me this picture today of the happy recipients with their quilt.
