The mini quilt is finished and on display. Not bad.
The fallish colors aren't exactly doing it for me right now though so I am already at work on a spring mini using up some of my very first paper pieces from way back when. All these little hexies were going to be a quilt. Yeah, right. In my dreams.
While digging those out, I also decided to get to work on some projects in progress that I have been tripping over in the sewing room for years.
On an oddball table runner of Daddio's, I am using big thread and a big needle to do some random straight line hand quilting.
I saw some one do this on a blog years ago and I liked the results. Since I've got nothing to lose with this crazy thing I thought I would give it a try. It can't hurt. The mindless stitching is very soothing btw.
Then there are my yo yo pillow covers.
I just realized I have been sewing them together wrong and that is why I can't get them to even out on my 12 x 12 pillow forms. I am ripping them all apart and starting over. Stay tuned.

That mini quilt turned out very nice. I can see where they look like fall colors though and you want something more springy now. I also like the way you're quilting the straight lines. It is a very effective way of quilting isn't it? Have a lovely Saturday.

Love your mini quilt...and it may be Fall-ish colors, but you'll be all ready in 6 months! Mindless sewing can be very meditative.
ReplyDeleteOh my....that's a lot of yo yo's to have to rip out! I love the look of those colorful little yo yo's.
