We all have lots of catching up to do...

That's why my UFO Saturdays are always popular and lots of fun. Dianne has been working on this new quilt for her bedroom for a few weeks and got it finished on Saturday. Such gentle colors...

Dan and Patty brought their Spinning Parasols tabletoppers to work on and made some great progress. Dan had all three blocks finished, didn't get a pic of that third block and Patty had her center finished and the pieced border sections as well. They are looking good.

Ruth worked on a runner she started in a different class and got lots of her tri-recs finished and another diamond or two. She will be ready to put it together soon.

JoAnn worked on a some teeny tiny half square triangles for another project and then made another Quilted Boxy Corner Pouch. She made one last time too, and loves making them. Everyone was curious as to how they go together.

Julie got the second half of her Lone Star sewn together and the setting corners sewn in. She worked on this quilt the last time she came for UFO Saturday, so it was fun to see her getting it closer to being finished.

Elsie had purchased the Curvy Log Cabin ruler a few months ago I demo-ed it at Cut Up and Quilt, but when she went to use it, she couldn't remember how to use it. She had her strips all cut and ready to start sewing when she got there, so she got quite a few sections made, plus sewed this block together. She is using all pinks for this lovely.

I finished sewing the Henry Glass #LaughLoveQuilt project together yesterday, so now I have to quilt it. I had an idea for a backing, but it didn't work out, so I have to get some fabric today to make a backing. My deadline is looming and not sure it will be finished by Friday.

It took me a bit longer than I thought yesterday as I had to go back to the drawing board when I didn't like the darker print border I had added. It just didn't look right. So eventually, after much thinking and head scratching, I decided on a pieced border. Makes sense.

 Sewed more strips together...

 Cut out some rectangles too...then came the unsewing....sigh....

Playing with blocks...

 Now that school has started, I probably won't be posting as much as I have less time to do all things quilty. But I did get most of the new Circle and Spin series quilt ( I really need to name it!) almost quilted. I have a couple more rows to do today and then on to the binding. I think I made the binding a few weeks ago when I sewed the backing together, so now I need to find it so I can finish it!

Since my design wall is in my kitchen ( my house has too many doors and windows and no large wall space), I look at and rearrange blocks as I come and go. I also cut on the kitchen island so it all works out. Since I haven't been sewing this week, these Curvy Log Cabin blocks have been on the wall since I finished them after my demo of the Curvy Log Cabin Trim Tool by Creative Grids at Cut Up and Quilt last week. I have been playing with the layout of the blocks a bit. You can use any layout that you would for a log cabin quilt, plus some circular ones you wouldn't.

 I really like this curvy zigzag a lot! I need to make some more blocks so that I can make something at least baby quilt size, so I have time to figure out what I want to do.

 Before the demo, I made three split circles using a pattern that Creative Grids puts out. I like this too! For these blocks, I used the same color for each round, so it doesn't look as much like a log cabin.

I will probably make something combining both sets of colorings, so stay tuned!

I have also been working on a quilt for a challenge, so I can't post pictures of it yet. Eventually....
