WIP Wednesday: November 9, 2011

This past week, I concentrated on finishing Christmas Gift #1. I’m very happy with it, but I have so many more I want to make. I better sew faster!

Check out Freshly Pieced for more WIP Wednesday goodness.

Current Projects
Blueberry Pie: I’m trying to use as many scraps as possible for the back of this quilt. I’ve made progress, but it’s slow going.

Call Me Crazy {38/42 blocks complete}: Two more blocks down, four blocks to go!

Christmas Gift #1: This week I finished my first handmade Christmas gift for this year, which was very satisfying. The reveal will have to wait until after Christmas.


Christmas Gift Bags: Progress is slow, but I’m almost done with two bags.

    Pieced backs ARE often 'slow' at a time when you just want to get things done! And Rachel - that Christmas sneak peek is darling - whatever it is looks pretty special!!

    You've got lots of stuff going on! I too like to use up scraps in my backings, it gives them character!

    Love that Christmas sneak peek! I really love using up scraps in my backings, but they always take longer than I think they will! I'm sure it will be beautiful in the end :)

    I've never pieced the back of a quilt other than rearranging a large piece. I'm going to have to sure keep this in mind.
