WIP Wednesday #18

Wow, this week has really flown by, but I've got made some serious sewing progress, yay!  Here's what's cooking...

Still working on:
MHC Drunk Love quilt - I'm going to start basting this one today and gett ready to quilt it for FNSI this Friday.  If you didn't see the flimsy finish on Monday, here's another snap.  And for the record, I still haven't decided how exactly I'm going to quilt it!


Single Girl quilt - All the curves are done!  And even better than that, the blocks are done!  Now all I have to do is finish the assembly of the quilt top.  I laid all the blocks out in my living room to see how it would look, and I'm really excited to get this one put together.  There's still a glimmer of hope that I might finish this for my wedding anniversary in 10 days.  A very tiny glimmer, but a glimmer all the same...



Make Mine Modern mini-quilt - I've finished my sketch and math and am starting some piecing on this one finally.


Project Modern - As soon as I wrap up my MHC quilt, I hope to get this one started.  Time is most certainly not on my side here, so we'll have to see how this works out.  If I don't wind up getting to this one in time, I hope to turn it into a quilt along later this year, because the design I drew up would be awesome in a monochromatic layout or in something super colorful, so stay tuned.

Birdie Stitches - Once again, no progress yet.

New:
Supernova QAL with Freshly Pieced - I'm super excited about this quilt-along, I just adore Lee's design for this one!  I've picked out some fabrics and made some stacks for this one, and I'm positively ready to go.


Spiderweb {Sew} Beautiful Quilt - I got my first two quilt blocks from the awesome girls of the {Sew} Beautiful Bee, and I'm excited to start sashing these blocks and putting this quilt together.

Itching for another quilt along?

I know I am!  Since I finished my Sliced Coins quilt along, I've been itching for another quilt along.  Why?  It's just a lot of fun to tackle a quilt with another group of people - that's one of the things that has made the Single Girl quilt a lot more enjoyable to work on.

Supernova Quilt-Along with Freshly Pieced

One of my favorite bloggers and dear friend, Lee, is hosting her own quilt along, based on her gorgeous Hope Valley quilt.  I'm so excited about this quilt along!  I love that quilt and I can't wait to quilt along with her.  Hop on over to her blog and join in the fun, she'll be announcing the fabric requirements tomorrow.  :)

MHC Drunk Love quilt flimsy finish

Thank you guys for all the awesome encouragement you shared on this quilt, it was so amazing to hear what you all had to say.  I'm so glad I kept going with this quilt because I am just in love with how it turned out.


This is going to be a hard one to give away, but I'm really excited to ship it off to Kayla.  After I quilt and bind it, that is.  The quilt top is totally finished, and I have all of the fabric for the backing and the binding.  I think that I'll be spending my first official FNSI quilting this quilt.  I am totally undecided on how I'm going to quilt this one, though, and I'm open to suggestion!


I wouldn't be surprised if I found myself making another drunk love quilt someday for my house - my husband  gave this quilt a pretty high compliment..."It would be really awesome if it weren't for all of the pink."  This quilt was really fun to put together, I loved the freedom of putting the pieces together in such a random and completely different kind of way.  I wasn't sure if my usually organized, rule-following self could enjoy a whole quilt like this, but I really did.  It was a perfect relief from my Single Girl quilt (which happens to be moving moving along again, btw).


I'm sharing this quilt top over at Sew Modern Monday hosted at Canoe Ridge Creations.  Hop on over to see some other modern fabric finishes and have an awesome day!
