I got 2 quilts back from my longarm quilter friend so I'll be looking for binding fabric soon.
While she was here she helped me slide the bag off my new 30 yard roll of batting and get it up on the tables. Now I can cut batting for a few more quilts.
I spent a couple hours choosing and grouping Tilda fabrics for her Whimsey quilt pattern. Then I made notes for each group with what I need to cut for that quilt plus 2 others. There has to be a 16 patch quilt made from these fabrics too. I didn't get around to pressing any of the creases out or any cutting.
Meanwhile I continue to sew strip sets.
My 2 grandsons will turn 35 this year, one of them today and the other a month from now.

Oh, all the delicious Tilda fabrics!! FUN! Glad Robin was able to help you get your new roll of batting on the table. They are unwieldy and heavy. Keep warm.
Those fabrics are gorgeous! I had to click on the photo to get a very closeup view of them. Sigh. I have bought a few of them but haven’t cut any. I saved the Whimsy quilt pattern and am curious to see how you put the fabrics together. Let the fun/lesson begin! (How much did you buy of each fabric? That’s always a decision….)
Gorgeous Tilda fabric pull...looking forward to seeing your quilts made with these;)))
17 here with 8 windchill this morning but sunny.
You have two beautiful quilts to bind now--some nice hand sewing ahead...hugs, Julierose
I'm looking forward to seeing your quilted quilts all bound up and ready to show. Those Tilda fabrics are just eye candy.
Those rolls of batting are nice to have but can be a bear to wrestle around. It looks like you have a good method for dealing with it.
How nice it was to have someone help you get that roll up on the table! They are a lot to handle. My two new rolls are still out in the garage. I will have to wrestle them down some steps, then find a place to store them so for now they are fine in the garage all wrapped up in plastic. Happy birthday to your grandsons!
Great post today Wanda ~ you always post a good story with photos each day. And I was surprised to hear you have 2 grandsons turning 35, Happy Birthday to them.
so many pretty colors in your post - between fabrics folded, quilts and blocks - you have a lot going on!
Such beauty! Colors, patterns, & plans :)
What delightful fabrics and those two wonderful nearly finished quilts! Have fun searching for the perfect binding fabrics.
Happy birthdays to your two grandsons, too!
Snow tomorrow? Time will tell.
Hugs!
They are such beautiful, colorful quilts... have fun picking out the bindings... I'm currently sewing a binding for my quilt :-)))
Your stripe sets look so beautiful too - I'm very happy a see the variety of colors.
A cheerful greeting comes to you from Viola
Beautiful and very cheerful quilts. Do you hem your binding my hand? I love hand work . . .it's so relaxing to me :)
I'm loving your strip set sewing, I love using KF fabrics this way. I saw the Whimsey pattern after reading this post, very effective and no fussy cutting. I'm about to make a start on my large basket of Tilda ready for my sale at Guild - which to keep and which to sell, I'm now thinking I will keep ones which will work nicely with the pattern!
