Quilty Weekend

After two weeks of no sewing due to pain from the blood draw, I was finally feeling better and couldn't wait to get back to it.  I had a great time playing with fabric all weekend.



I sewed the  Happy Dance blocks into a flimsy.  Now that I see it made, I am thinking it needs
a white border.  It only measures 23 inches square.



I am happy with the colourway, but I probably won't make this quilt again. I found ironing all
the seams on the back to be  tedious. I ironed along the way, but the further along I got, I was
messing up previous seams trying to iron the newer ones.



The binding is all ready for when I get back to it. It WAS  some odd peacock feather fabric :)

 
I am also working on catching up on this quiltalong.  I am making two quilts at the same time.
 
 

                                                              Here is one Block two


                                                  Here is the Batik version of Block two



Here are the pieces for Block 3 for one of the quilts.  I think this is going to be a BIG block!!
I have plenty of trimming to do before I can put it together and I haven't even chosen the fabrics for the Batik Block 3 yet.



I also finished off some machine quilting for two baby quilts and made more binding.



They are both ready for the binding to be sewn by hand, then in the wash for some quilty love before they will be on their way to someone else.   Hope you had a fun weekend too. xx debbie
