WIP Wednesday


This is my first link-up with Lee's W.i.P. Wednesday. As a new blogger I'm finding that link-ups provide one of the best ways to make blogging friends. It's pretty spectacular when people come together over common interests. My life is richer because of this already.

The above blocks are just a fraction of scrap blocks I'm continually working on. I have a big basket of scraps sitting next to my machine and when I'm totally burned out on a project or just uninspired, I grab scraps and start building these. I've no clue when I'll actually sew them into a quilt! I like the process of making these so much that I want it to remain a W.I.P.

Denyse Schmidt Fabric
Pyramid Blocks
I've started a new quilt.  I'm using a combination of Denyse Schmidt fabric to create a pyramid quilt. I may add solids... may add some pinks. This is definitely going to be an experiment. There are no failures. Right? Just learning experiences!


Farmer's Wife Blocks
And my Farmer's Wife Blocks are usually on the back burner even though I enjoy the heck out of making them. Maybe a little sarcasm there? 

Granny Square
I'm keen on these granny squares from Blue Elephant Stitches. I've only made one but I expect there will be more in my future.

You are so right! Linky parties are a great way to connect with other quilters. BTW, I love those scrappy log cabins!

Awesome job and im so inpired by the project you are always working on with your scrap strips, I dont have a project to work on in between, im always trying to get the current project done. I think it should slow down.

The Kate Spain fabric in your Granny Square is adorable.

I like your granny square! I've made 20 of the granny square blocks so far, and am trying to decide if I'm going to stop there or make the slightly larger quilt. Decisions decisions!
