Quilting Away




No photo description available.

I started my Scrappy Pineapple Quilt this past Friday. I used some of the leftover bits of fabric from Star Storm. I was supposed to take a class at MQX this past Friday. Since it was cancelled, I decided to sew the day away at home. I worked on Star Storm and made this block as well. It wasn't as good as MQX but I still had an enjoyable day! I missed shopping at all those vendors. Hopefully, next year! I used my new Pineapple Trimmer ruler and it worked great!

Star Storm is half done! I have 5 out of 10 wedges all sewn together. You can really see the pattern emerging! It will measure 80" X 80" when it's finished. I just love these fabrics. Victoria Findlay Wolfe is a genius!

Here's a couple of pictures of Carolina Chain on the longarm. I took the plunge and started quilting using the North Wind pantograph. I love it! The pantograph takes a while to get ready but once it's all taped and points are marked, it's so fast and easy! I'm almost halfway done!

Back to work and reality tomorrow. I've been off for 3 wonderful days. I'm hoping and praying our Covid patients are getting better. It's tough working right now

  2. I start back today and am not looking forward to it. I worry so much about bringing something home. My niece has tested positive and am hoping at 23 she will get better soon. Scary

    1. Maureen, you're going to have a blast making this quilt! The instructions are very detailed. Once I prepared my strips, it was very fast to sew together. My next post will show the finished quilt top!
