Tuesday Progress

I have some Tuesday progress to show you today, as I link up with Texas Quilt Gal for her To Do Tuesday linky party. 

Last week, one of my goals was to finish my challenge quilt for The Endeavourers, which is due August 1st. It is done, except for finishing the binding. Here’s another little teensy peek, but that’s all I can show you for now.

Not much of a sneak peek, I know, but anything else will give it away. I have had fun with this one!

I’m not much further on the improv quilt for the next Quilt Improv Studio challenge. The theme is Pop Art. I keep adding fabrics to the pull (that yellow with blue starbursts is new this week), but I’m still having trouble settling on an idea of what to do with them. All of these fabrics were in my stash, and I’ve enjoyed finding them. 

Meanwhile, I pulled out this little mini and did some free motion quilting practice on it.

I decided to practice some swirls, using a light pink thread (Aurifil #2423, 50 wt.). Some of the swirls looked like swirls, others not so much.

One more photo, so you can see the colors of the fabrics better.

This little mini finished at 18″ square. I just need to sew down the binding on this little mini and it’s done. I’m sure I’ll find somewhere to use it. 

So not a lot of Tuesday progress, but some! My goals for this coming week: 

  • Decide on the Quilt Improv Studio challenge and start sewing
  • Plan what to make for the Queen of Gadgets Blog Hop in September
