My Wednesday WIP

It's been several weeks since my last post ... It's just hard sometime between work and trying to catch up on all my projects, etc etc... Well enough of my wows here is what I've been working on... I'm knitting a little baby blanket for a co-worker who is have a baby boy hence the blue color yarn :>)





I'm also, working on my Lone star quilt, this is going to be for my bed......it's taking more time then I had hoped for but I find this is a very challenging pattern..  I find that cutting the strips a little at a time makes it easier for me....It's like driving at 5mph I know I will get there I just know when. .




 I also join a group on flickr:  http://www.cvquiltworks.blogspot.com and I made my first block.....I don't usually chose colors like grays & blacks I fine them to be to dark for my taste but I think I made a good choice. When I saw this fabric in the quilt shop I just knew this was the fabric...  All in all I'm happy with the color selection and sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling. and the more I look at the fabric the more I like it.. I will be posting the blocks from time to time. this project is going to be a mystery quilt so I don't really know how it will turn out but so far I'm happy :>)









I'm a little behind on Esther"s BOM but I have made a promise to myself to start working on the quilt this weekend.. I've seen some of the blocks you ladies have posted and they look wonderful. I cannot wait to start with mine this weekend..

  1. yeah, working on those diamonds takes forever, doesn't it? They're really neat, though.

  2. Looks like a pretty quilt. I am sure I have that magazine in my collection too.
