This and that during Blogger's outage

Blogger seems to be back and running now,

but I noticed I have lost a few comments

of the last a couple of posts.

"Dresden Plate" by TQC

Fabrics: "Rural Jardin" and

"La Petite Ecole" (Dots) by FG

Block size: 14" finish

Sorry for showing you

my burned ironing board :P

I've started some new projects

with the leftover fabrics from

 "Country Charm" quilt 

 while Blogger was down.

You'd ask "What happened to

that "Country Charm" quilt?"

Well, it's been left out where it was

on my last post. Ughhhhhhh

I just feel worn out from making

 the raffle, even after done with it, 

not feeling like getting back with it yet.

Anyhow, When I first saw this post

a couple of years back,

I immediately fell in love with the idea of

making a patriot quilt with Dresden Plates!

My plan is to make it a bit larger than

the original by adding one more row.

So it'll be a lap size quilt eventually.

I've alreayd cut out all the wedges needed

to make four more blocks and

thinking about having the background

fabric in oyster.

Then I still have to make

tons of HSTs, too!

I'm hoping to finish both "Country Charm"

and "Dresden Plate" by Memorial Day to

enjoy decorating our house with

the patriot colors - red, white & blue!

"Scrappy Stack Mug Rug"

by Jeni @ In Color Order

Fabrics: "Rural Jardin" by FG

and natural linen

And here is another new and quick

 project with the same leftover fabrics.

I always wanted making this one

as I've seen quite few version of them

all over blogland since some time ago.

And figured it's the perfect time

to try making one with

all the strippy leftover fabrics from

the two recent WIP quilts now!

Now I'm ready to baste and quilt them,

but not sure if I want to try quilting

the way she did on hers - thin wavy look

as I don't  have much of the confident for

the free motion quilting like that.

But thought it will be a good practice

at least before getting back with

"Country Charm" to do the free motion quilting ;)

We shall see in a few moment...
