Tumblers and Wild & Goosey...

Decided to thin down some of the tumblers cut and redo some that are not the right size as I was cutting them is mass amounts while sorting fabric. In the process decided to try Bonnie Hunters Wild and Goosey paper piecing blocks. I have not done much paper piecing but decided to try it with some of the reject tumbler blocks. It is true you cannot do just one. So I will work on a few of these and maybe would be good to remove paper back on trip down to AZ in January. Just passing the time waiting for this years quiltville mystery to begin. BLACK FRIDAY!!!!!

Thursday Tumblers

I have not worked on the tumbler blocks for some time. Today my goal was to get a few rows sewed. Later in the afternoon I got out Hannah's graduation quilt. Purple front and Washington Capitals hockey fabric on the back. Sewed the back seam and cut out the cotton batting. May do some sandwiching tomorrow or this weekend. Then next week we will start the machine quilting. Not planing anything too exciting...straight line quilting. Would like to get this one done, wrapped before she comes home for winter break. This one will have to travel to Arizonia as we will head straight to graduation on our way home. Today Hannah found out she will be student teaching at Mt. Calgary Lutheran school in Waukesha late February until May. She will be close to sisters for a few visits. She is so excited for this next step.

Tumblers ...X&O blocks

Worked on the McQuilt sampler quilt. These blocks are so fun to do. I really like how they are turning out. Had to do some fabric subsitution but that was ok. This will be fun to quilt.

Blocks completed.

Next up the Tumbler challenge by Bonnie Hunter. I had gone thru all my fabric and those small pieces I cut into tumbler blocks. I tried yesterday to get the pattern right, just something mentally I could not do consistently with pairs. Returned to her site and now laying out the rows. Sewed one row, then put opposite for the next row. I did four rows this afternoon. This is something that you have to do little by little. It is fun,but would not want to do hours of seeing them.
