Block work~Rediscovering UFO'S

I paused in the sewing loft for a time. A dry spell came over me from my sewing routines and in turn an event of purging came forward. And speaking of purging, for me it can almost become a treasure hunt within the collections of items on hand & specially now as a Quilter now- a -days.

I pulled my UFO bins out.You know, those places where " unfinished objects" rest.
I've also been going through my files, photos & quilt journals to match some of those " objects" with the patterns and to rediscovering them. How I'm wishing to pick back up on some of those and soon.

Since my quilting and sewing skills have likely advanced since the time many were first formed, I am to think it shall be good as to see just how far I have come since I first formed them with my quilting abilities.

Below I've posted a few of my quilt journal photos and hope to continue more quick post of those blocks as I revisit them and locate more information to share.

The blocks below are the rest of that series I made with a follow-along group available sometime ago and closed now. ( see source link provided below)

Those blocks were formed when I had begun to step away from basics block formation and of my abilities in building a variety of blocks. I like the idea of the colorful pattern units that form the borders around a main center to compliment a centering element of choices .






This is the current link to her blog along with information for the blocks. 
               *Please note the BOM is over and the block patterns maybe only available as a purchase.
                


I'll continue quick post journal the UFO's  as I discover items to share. 
Happy Quilting! Pat

My latest Quilt

Been busy finishing up with a new baby quilt this weekend. I decided 2 weeks ago, to make another Puff/biscuit/pillow quilt.  As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it.  And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs. All I needed was the rainbow of pastel fabrics.  For this quilt, color choices included yellow and purple  with a few coordinating prints with hints of pink  after all, this is to be made for a newborn baby girl just born last week! I'm almost done today  and rather excited for it to be soon gifted.  However first, wanted to organize my journal progresses and edit my notes.  That made me begin to wonder, how many quilters really do journal their progresses  with notes, and as one is working on a project or quilt. I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes.  It made me focus a lot more, and  in

Project Baby Quilt Part 2: Group, Press, Cut, Regroup Play

Group- press-cut-regroup Today began the process grouping fabrics into a color palette. I divided the color into 3 groups. Green , pink & yellow.  Pressed each fabric piece by color group , and cut 2 strips each -measuring 2.5 in width from each fabric  A total of 18 strips when completed.     Green Strips The tips below were helpful to keep in mind as I ironed today and to cut, sew & pressed the sewn seams. Press each seam : Often reminded to press seams as sewn . And e ven more important when piecing a quilt!  I lightly "press" set each seam. This manner achieved by pressing & for best results and not necessarily as what is referred to as "ironing .   Press technique explained :  http://sewmamasew.com/blog View this video for more pressing tips : More tips : I also found helpful : pressing all seams in same direction.
