In the Pipeline Progress

I really wish I had a large design wall! This quilt top would go so much faster if I did. I should probably take it into work one Saturday and finish it up there. More on this quilt here. In the Pipeline

In the Pipeline - Progress

Eastern Sunrise

I walked into the train the other day on my way to work and a young girl's jacket caught my eye. No it didn't look like this but this block is what has come from it. 

It's a paper pieced pattern I drew up and I love it! I'm going to make it into a quilt but I'm thinking that pillows with just this block would also be great.

Books and Letters

This gorgeous collection just came in to the store this month - Books and Letters by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics. I thought of my husband when I saw it and asked him if he'd like a bag made from it. He wanted a quilt and made me feel bad that he did not have a quilt yet.

So... I worked out a pattern and bought the fabric. Need to still buy another solid. 

After I worked it out I found the pattern on two blogs! 

Cara had worked it out for her turn on the Bar Hop Quilt Along. See it here: Cara Quilts.

Marj is working on a pattern she bought from Lunden Designs. 

Isn't it weird how you think of something and then you see it out there already! 

Nothing is new under the sun!

In the Pipeline

In the Pipeline Sketch

My aunt had a game on her phone. You had to form this pipeline from the water source to where you were supposed to get the water to go. There were different shapes of pipes that you could use to get the water flowing. This quilt... came from that game. :)

I drew up the pattern earlier this year when I was working out a quilt for my nephew. I loved the design but knew it was going to be a lot of work so I didn't make it for him.

I have tried to work the math on this one but it's scrambling my brains! I may just have to work with the fabric and see how it goes. 


I'm using a Charm Pack of Simply Modern by V and Co. Gosh I love this line. It is so gorgeous. So simple but so nicely done. Love the colours and the patterns.  And I'm using Kona Charcoal and Chartreuse.

Started piecing the blocks.

Then ran out of Chartreuse strips so gotta cut again!

 

Really looking forward to this quilt. Fingers crossed!
