WIP 3

 Today I have been digging my car out from under ice in order to go home. The top and windshield probably had 4 inches of ice. I had to chisel my way into it with my key to be able to start it and get my scrapper. Fun times.

 Things I have worked on...

  My mug rugs. Gasp! I used polyester batting. I finally have used up the last of what was giving to me. YAY! For the other one I broke open one of my Sunkissed charms. No pictures of that one yet.

This scrappy quilt. I need to finish pressing the strips and cutting them. Then one I have the color pieces finished I can start cutting the white pieces. I'm sure there is a better way to do this but I'm trying to be methodical. We'll see how well it goes.







Things I haven't been working on...

 This quilt needs  to have the backing made and possible have a border put on it. I think this guy will be staying home since it's not lined up very well. H's babies always need quilts.

 This quilt needs the backing made. I thought I would be able to just use the fabric I had until I realized I didn't buy enough so a pieced back it is. I'm not sure how I want to piece it together so it just sits and waits.

The daughter's Seuss quilt needs a backing and I'm thinking I may just go with a plain red back with a cross with the leftover Seuss fabric pieced in. So again another pieced backing needing to be made.

This quilt needs to have the binding and then it's good for the washer. Trouble is I don't know what to bind it in. Any suggestions? The front is pink and green and the backing is tan. I was thinking a green plaid.

                                         

My hourglass quilt the blocks are all done. I need to start squaring them up.                                            

My strippy Arcadia quilt needs to have the rest of the Kona Bone cut for the strips. I have 20 left to do. Unfortunately I need to finish my design wall so I can lay them out so I can decide on their layout before I can sew them.

Ladies I need your help for my sanity and for the sake of my growing as a quilter.What erks me so badly about this quilting thing is I cut all this fabric up. Then I sew it together. I make sure I have a quarter inch seam. I bought a special foot just for this. I square my blocks up too. I sew all blocks into strips still using my special foot and then WHAM I go to sew my strips together and maybe only four blocks match up and then there anywhere from an 1/8 to and actually inch off. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I need some tips.
