Sunday sewing

I made progress Sunday morning and I had big plans for sewing after church. After a short nap I planned to get a lot done. Well that didn't happen. We had some big thunder and bright hot sunshine and lost power, apparently everyone did, for 4 + hours.  It finally came back on about 7:00 ish.   Oh well. Hubby said God knew I needed to rest.  And I did.    But tonight I've got some sewing to finish.    I am almost done with my quilt top. And then I have to get that baby quilt put together.   

Saturday progress.. Sunday completion. Well I hope anyway..

I was able to get the five blocks completed for what will be a quilt for "Ely Owen Loyd". He should make his first appearance in November.  We are all anxious to meet him.  I have decided how I am going to lay it all out by adding a thin border to 10" blocks from a layer cake matching the print fabric to make it a 3 x 3 layout.  I also have a plan for the back. I just hope I have enough of the print fabric to get it made.  Hopefully today I will get that completed and sewn together.

However, I have to finish sewing the rows together to for second half of the diamond blocks.  I had worked so hard getting all 10 rows layer out and my doggies came to visit. And you know how they are.... any fabric on the floor they have to lay on it..  Yep they made a mess and I had to redo my layout.  But I got things pinned together so it should go faster.  I hope it does anyway.

And I have to get to my quilter and practice practice practice.

Well if I am going to get all this done today I better get started.  Have a blessed day.

Top laid out

I finish laying out my in progress "soaked" quilt top. Ready to get it sewn together for another finish. It will be 50 x 62. The extra pieces made 5 12" blocks. So I have to do some designing to finish it out.  For a small top.  This has been covering my cutting area for weeks now. So ready to finish this one so I can get on with my A4A blocks.  This picture is just half of the top. 

Marylin's crocheted quilt

One thousand seventy three  2  1/2" squares. 

Didn't she do a wonderful job. 

Liam's quilt

This is the finished product! I decided to tie it since I am so not good with quilting. I then went ahead and sewed a quarter inch around the outside edge and on the inside. I liked how it turned out after stressing about it for so long. Kristen was happy with it and that is all that matters.
