BONUS QUILT ~ oops i accidently started another one xo

i am mostly busy  quilting for others right now trying to catch up  ~ and i have MANY creative project piles  in my sewing room patiently waiting...
but i was recently inspired to do some good stitches for  ~ quilts recover southern alberta   and i loved these improv blocks sooo much i started making more color piles from scraps and then before i knew it  i was taking small breaks from my machine quilting stitching these beauties ~ it is a very nice way to break up my work time and now i have a beautiful rainbow roygbiv kind of BONUS quilt started. xoxo

I LOVE IMPROV SEWING

simplicity progress

i recently finished up the center block on my simplicity [circa 2008?] more here and here ...this is my current [possibly my LAST ever applique project]  my friend kay the applikay queen [the reason we call it applikay] has completed hers ....see her finished top here

the corner blocks are next up...and they are FUSSY

i use the spray starch / double freezer paper template method from fig tree [ and this is also fussy]

but OH SOOOO PRETTY xo

i finished prepping these last night so i once again have a project that travels well xo

and ONE DAY probably far far away this is what it will look like...and the pink word fabric will be the backing  xoxox

my quilt style has changed ...i tend to go for more improv...more color...more modern these days BUT i still love it all and i am a FINISHER!    happy tuesday xo pam

happy birthday to CANADA XO
