Man, oh man. It's been over two months since my last WIP Wednesday post. Whew. I have been sewing (see all the things marked off the to do list?!), but apparently I've been doing more updating over on Instagram. I'll try to do better here. A few weeks ago, I posted this pic of my WIPs on IG.
This is a rarity for me. I usually don't have multiple WIPs going on at once (I'm a start one and finish it before moving on kind of girl), but I think part of the problem this time was that I wasn't over the moon about any of these projects. Thankfully, I'm finally making some progress and getting them off my plate, which means I can move on to more exciting things (no, I can't bring myself to just not finish these). This week, I finished the first of the three -- the Flippin' Triangle baby quilt -- which I actually ended up loving in the end. It just needed a bit more progress for me to see it. :) You can see lots more pictures of it in the reveal post.
Then, I moved on to the Rainbow Wave quilt. I pulled the stack for this one long ago and loved the fabrics together then, but when it started to come together, I was no longer feeling them. So this quilt has become the perfect candidate for "The Purge" over at Stitched in Color. I like the look of the quilt, but the fabrics (mostly from Jenean Morrison's True Colors collection) are no longer calling to me. This was supposed to be for a friend's new baby, but I've got another project in mind for her now, and I think this one will be donated once it's done.
I started on the quilting last night but had to stop short when I ran out of thread (grrr...). I'm hoping to finish the quilting and start binding it tonight.
Finally, I've also made some progress on my t-shirt quilt. This is one of those projects that I will love and enjoy when it's done, but I am so not enjoying the process of making it. So much interfacing. I realized I have enough shirts to do both sides out of shirts, which is great, but did I mention the interfacing?
The neverending to do list:

Your New Wave quilt is gorgeous! And you already know I love your flippin' triangles... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your New Wave in the Purge. Kudos to you for finishing a quilt that you're not in love with. That's how I roll too. Best to finish and donate and move on without the baggage!
ReplyDeleteEach of these is lovely, the Flippin' Triangle quilt is a real eye catcher.
