Projects I've Done This Week

It has been a very busy week for me here. I have started and completed 2 quilt tops: a circle applique quilt and a star quilt. I need to add a wider border yet, but here is the majority of it:



Appliqueing circles was a learning experience, for sure! I used 2 of the PB&J from Moda charm packs for the circles, 2 yards of a light off-white solid from the French General line, again from Moda, and for the borders and blue background squares more PB & J. I based it on a quilt I found here.
I also made my diaper bag/purse:
I used the same pattern as the bag from the previous post.

About a year ago, I saw
these at my local amazing fabric store, and desired them for my own. I decided to go with a Giant Vintage Star pattern, to best show off the prints. Here is my finished top
the couch it is draped over is a 3 seater; I believe the finished size was 68" square.

I started a new quilt for my Boo-she chose a blue seagull fabric, which I've paired with a grey and a white solid, and a white on black paisley. She is 4 years old, took one look at the way I was piecing it, and said "That's NOT the way I wanted it, Mama" Too bad, kid! ;)

My bestie and her two kiddos are visiting me for a few days and have put orders in-I need to do 2 animal placemats, 2 pillows, and a charm tote for my friend-by Sunday. I think I can, I think I can...
