WIP Wednesday

Blogging more regularly is definitely at the top of my list of things I want to work on. So here is my official WIP Wednesday post as it's now 12:00 am EST. :)

So I've been working on my mini Diabolical Jane and I finished cutting all of the fabric for the front this weekend and started putting together the panels.

I started sewing together the panels and have the bottom panel done completely with the one left portion of the row attached.

I also started working on my Sunnyside HST quilt, but decided to rip apart the one block I actually had done and trim the HSTs down by about 1/4". I went to trim more of the HSTs and several of them were just too small to trim to 4.5" square. I also decided that I was going to make all the same block instead of following the Layer Cake Sampler QAL.

And finally, here's the baby quilt version of my DCMQG 2016 QAL. I decided to put it up on my design wall to see how it's coming along and where the gaps still are. The next block will fill in a good portion of that large gap at the top right.

Block 20

We are moving on to wonky (improv) stars. Both 3x3 grid and 5x5 grid. No specific inspiration for these. I'll show you how I created my layout and encourage you to create your own, otherwise you can just follow my cutting instructions.

Unf***ing my Life

Summer hiatus is just about over. I've been doing my best to turn over a new leaf as far as decluttering and cleaning is concerned. I've been reading What's a Disorganized Person to Do? by Stacey Platt. I've also been doing better about using my Quilt Planner and various other tools to keep on track with things. Next up, keeping a list of blog posts I owe you guys. By the way, I have Block 20 for the QAL all ready to go, I just need to write it up for Friday. So check back around noon EST on Friday for that.


As back story, I used to have my very own craft room (when we didn't have guests, which was most of the time). So this is what it used to look like:
