I just have one more piece to cut.............
for this little quilt. I only had one strata so this is how big it can be. They are 9" blocks so it will be 27" x 36" unless I add a border.
The binding is done on this little quilt.
I have decided to get out some of the unfinished projects and assign a day of the week to them. That way they will be worked on one day a week until they are finished. This will work well with my limited attention span. I got a head start on this one yesterday by piecing together several sets of 2 to make more 4 patches. I'll post the link later in the week to the design wall when I last played with it. This is another that needs to be worked on.
Here is the link to the design wall for this one. I also got the basket quilt out and cut the setting triangles and have some of them sewn on. That will be my project today to finish the top.
Today I will decide which day is devoted to which project. I am teaching Tues. and Fri. this week and Monday next week so there will be limited hours to work on projects those days.

  1. Hi Wanda,
    Your little strata quilt at the top of your post looks very "summer gardeny". Maybe a wallhanging for the room with the recent mostly yellow quilt?

  2. I'm so fascinated by your Strips 'n Curves quilts! I can't believe the blocks in this one came from one strata. And your design wall quilts are beautiful.

  4. Your pinwheels and your colorful strips and curves quilt are gorgeous!
    It feels pretty good to get to the quilts in a UFO pile. That's my big summer project. Once they are all done, think of how much "lighter" you'll feel without a stack there to haunt you!

  15. Top piece ~ the fabrics are absolutely radiant! I too want to find the templates to do the strips and curves.

    And thank you for showing the completed pinwheel quilt. Each piece of fabric can either 'make or break' a piece and you are ALWAYS right on~ right down to the binding.

    I can see perfect organization is your forte` and success with producing so many pieces continually. And I so enjoy watching you work through this blog.

  16. I love the idea of doing one project a day - I have a short attention span too and sometimes just need a change of "scenery." I like the strips and curves as is without a border, but I'm sure a border would look great too! :)

  20. I like the strategy for UFO completion. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who shelves them when I become interested in something I just can't wait to start! :-)
    I really like the strips 'n curves strata.

  21. I love your Kaffe strata quilt! So bright and summery.

    And I adore your idea of working on a project one day a week! That is just brilliant, and something I might be able to do. (I suffer from Quilter's ADD, so have a limited attention span!)

  22. I'm in awe with how much you get done. I've been sidetracked by my family and friends for the past 2 weeks so I just got back to quilting. Your projects and finishing touches are outstanding and pleasing to the eye.
