I Like Thursday #97

 

Welcome to I Like Thursday! Each Thursday LeeAnna, over at Not Afraid of Color, hosts a bunch of us bloggers who like to blog about positive and fun posts. Today is currently 64 degrees which is comparatively warm for this time of year in Massachusetts. I have my summer wreath on the door as I look forward to warmer temperatures! Winter is finally over! We had such a dismal winter with Covid that I feel summer is more special for us this year. We can go outside and bask in the warmth. 


After a few false starts, I'm finally quilting my Scrap Pineapple quilt. I'm using a pantograph. I feel this quilt is so busy that you would never notice any custom quilting. This pantograph is so fast! It's about 13 inches wide. I think I'll only need 8 passes and the quilt will be finished. This picture gives you an idea of  the quilting. It's scattered feathers with swirls thrown in for good measure. I love it so far!


I'm also doing a little hand applique. This is the 4th month for the Color My World BOM. Once the tree appliques are done, I'll join the houses together in a circle. I hope they all fit!


I may have found my next scrap project. I love the log cabin square. This quilt is basically just a large log cabin made from scraps. The strips are 2.5 inches. However, if you look closely, each side is made of many shorter strips. I think I could cut down my scraps into strips and sew them together. I kind of like the idea of mindless sewing. Just cut down scraps and sew together. I would love to make a dent into my scrap pile. I'm not sure that's possible!

That's it for me this week! Have a great weekend! Stay safe!

  1. Hi Rosemary! Your wreath looks so welcoming on the front door. I'm thrilled to see you are quilting your pineapple quilt. It looks like the perfect choice for a quilting design - something that will cover well but not too densely. It will give a good squishy factor! ~smile~ Roseanne

    1. Thank you, Roseanne! I figured the pantograph was the best option. I can't believe how fast it is! I like fast!

  2. Your quilting on the pineapple quilt looks awesome, and the houses with their trees is neat too. Oh that log cabin quilt, When I saw it the first thing I thought was 1 1/2 inch strips.

    1. Thanks, Colette! I thought the strips were more narrow too. I suppose you can use whatever width you like. I like the 2.5 inch since it will be bigger and faster.

  3. Love your front door wreath. I like the trees on your blocks. That looks like it would be a fun scrappy quilt!

  4. Your door wreath is a beauty! I had to look up pantograph to be sure I knew what it meant. That looks perfect to me. And I do like that huge log cabin style quilt. What a great way to use scraps and as you say, it is the most relaxing machine stitching there is.
