Little Progress

I made very little progress this week. I had big plans for finishing a couple of my quilts. Then I got a head cold, so I’ve been resting most of the week.

I did make progress on the Kim Diehl mini quilt. My reason for making this little quilt now was to use the leftover scraps for my Moda Blockheads 2 blocks. I had to chuckle, because this mini quilt really used the fabric well. This is all I have left from that project.

So, I maybe won’t get too much mileage out of those little scraps. On the other hand, I know there are more of those really small HSTs coming up, so you never know, these little pieces may come in handy!

Here’s how far I managed to get on the Kim Diehl quilt. Once I get the border pieces on, I’ll give you the pattern name and all those details. The quilt will finish at 20 inches square.

Notice how Wilbur (yes, that name seems to have stuck, but he still doesn’t answer to it or any other name) is color coordinating with the quilt.

I would’ve finished the quilt top today, but I made four 4-patches, all wrong (rip, rip), ran out of bobbin thread one inch before I was done sewing a row (argh), noticed that the bottom row of this quilt should be flipped (after sewing), so that the red is opposite the red in the top row. Clearly I should not sew something like this while fuzzy-brained from a head cold.

I am getting better each day, so maybe I’ll have a finished quilt to show you on Monday. I hope you have had a better, more productive week in your sewing room. What have you been up to?
