After years of focusing on the same quilt, I’m happy to say that there are already 8 projects on my WIP list for 2015, including a sampler. Hmm… It’s a good thing that the annual Spring retreat is this month. I could use some time to focus on sewing.
\nSaturday morning, N and I made progress on our Improv Charity Blocks<\/em><\/strong> from Cheryl Arkison’s workshops. \"2015FinishImprovCharityPiecing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are now twelve 15″ blocks total: her 3, my 3, Cheryl’s 3 and the 3 we just made. I sewed the top together and next we will look for red backing fabrics.
\n\"2015FinishImprovCharityTop\"<\/a>Top finished. Check!<\/p>\n

Next, I make progress on my Orchid Birdie Wheels<\/em><\/strong>.
\nThis is the quilt I hoped to finish for the 2014 Pantone Color-of-the-year, Radiant Orchid. Two 24″ blocks were assembled last year and I planned for least nine total. However, I got derailed by this stunning green I snagged from the destash table and started to play.\"2015OrchidMintWheelPiecing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"2015OrchidMintWheelBack\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hmm… I’m not really sure I like this in my Orchid Quilt.\u00a0 It’s more like that ‘one of these things is not like the other’ game. I guess\u00a0 I’ll set it aside unfinished for now.\"2015OrchidMintWheelSetof4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally: Happiness Rocks!<\/em><\/strong>
\nI’ve managed to piece this using almost ALL the fabric! \"2015FinishHappySewCat\"<\/a>\"2015FinishHappyPiecing\"<\/a>And there are only a few scraps left to integrate into the backing!
\nThus, the top is finished!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
