B-3 Mirror Image
I'm feeling a little bit more confident about sewing curves now. I remembered to mark extra matching points this time and to sew my smallest stitches. I am going to try B-2 Sweet Tater Pie next...

WOBQ progress and a new project????
I bought my background fabric for my WOBQ and got it laid out now to pin it... I thought that I would take a quick photo so you can see it laid out. I still can't quite fit the whole thing in a photo yet...
I just received this fabric and want to do something fun with it...I am thinking maybe pinwheel and/or attic window blocks...I will experiment with EQ6 later to see what I can come up with!

A-3 Hunters Moon
A-3 Hunters Moon Block
I made a Dear Jane block today. I pieced this one trying to remember my lessons from Linda Franz's DVD about curved piecing. I forgot to mark additional matching points until I cut the pattern apart and ironed on the fabric. But, I think it came out alright and I'm happy to be working on my Dear Jane quilt again! My new numbers are 41,21,3,1337!

Busy,Busy,Busy
I haven't posted in quite a while. I have been busy working on a few quilt projects...A scrap quilt, Siggies for the Dear Jane swap, My WOBQ top. my first "rag" quilt and the Sylvia's Bridal Quilt BOW...
I finished the top for my "WOBQ" yesterday and am going to quilt it myself with a flowery vine pattern that I drew. I will have to practice first and post a bigger picture of it later!
The scrap quilt I am working on is from a "scrap mystery quilt swap" with an online group. I have finished sewing blocks and now I'm deciding on how to position the blocks. This was a wonderful quilt to work on as it pushed me seriously out of my comfort zone. I received fabric in this swap that I never would have purchased and never would have considered putting in a quilt with the other fabrics that I received. LOL! I bought a light polka dot backing fabric and jumped in...The only rule that I made for myself as I was sewing was not to use any of the same fabrics in a single block... I think that I am going to truly love this quilt when it is finished.
I am still clipping the seams for my "Rag quilt" and will post another picture after it is washed and dried and achieved the proper raggidiness!
Have a lovely Day!
hugs,
keri
