Scenes from the Road of Life
Here is July's quilt for the UFO Challenge with Quilting Mayhem.
It is called Roses and Arrows after the charm pack of 42 5" squares it was made from, along with some light grey to make half square triangle blocks.
I made the bias binding from the same grey and got it sewed onto the little 32" by 40" quilt today.
It is FINISH #12 for the year!
I sewed these Charm Pack squares together yesterday to make a very small top. There was only 24 of them so I just added more 5" squares instead of making half square triangles out of them. I boldly chose a dark grey for the alternate blocks. And I boldly chose yellow thread for the densely quilted top.
Today I quilted it with an allover pantograph.
The little (50" x 50") quilt called Clouds is finished being quilted with a pantograph of rain drops.
It is off the longarm awaiting binding.
I loaded the small quilt top, Clouds, onto the longarm today.
This top was made from six wide selvedge to selvedge strips with the same print of clouds but in different colorways sewn together side by side and bordered with some black fabric. I believe I picked up this collection from a fabric distributor back in the day. I never knew what to do with them. The top has been languishing around for a long while now.
It is on my list of UFOs to finish this year.
This month's UFO Challenge project for me starts with one of the Charm Packs. I decided to do something easy since the month is half gone. I paired a light grey with them from which I cut 5" squares and drew a diagonal line on the backx. Then I joined them with a charm square and sewed a quarter inch on each side of the line to make Half Square Triangle Squares (HSTs) when cut in half.
