More Wool Blocks

I actually spent a lot of time in my sewing closet this weekend. The only thing I have to show are these wool blocks that I have been working on in the evenings after work.

I was able to get a quilt pinned this weekend and a ton of applique prepped. It was nice not having a Dear Jane or Insane block to work on this weekend.

I hope everyone has a safe and healthy week!

More BOM fun!

Block 89 of Nearly Insane. 40 blocks done! 58 to go.
Dimity the Dreamer for "An Angel's Story" quilt
Harriet the Homebody from "An Angel's Story"
Above is June's "Home is Where the Heart is" BOM. I decided to NOT make these into a quilt. Karene ordered us some hangers and we are turning these into wall hangings. I am going to use scraps from my bins to make the backs and I can hopefully get them quilted soon. 6 down, 6 to go.

The above blocks are for a quilt called "An Applique Affair". Ever since I started reading Anne's blog I have wanted to make a quilt using wool. She gave a great tutorial so I thought I would give it a try. The block on the left is one of 25 that I need to make and the 2 blocks on the right are 2 of 20 that I have to make.

I better get to work! LOL!

Rainbow Jane

I finished June's blocks yesterday. June's 10 blocks were pretty straight forward and easy.

I have come to the conclusion that I have too many projects going at one time. I decided to trim the list and send a few on vacation to the UFO closet. I will not start ANYTHING new until a few UFO's get busted. That doesn't mean I won't plan on starting something ot collect fabric for it. LOL!

How I Avoided Y-Seams

All my friends know I have a HATE/HATE relationship with inset seams. The picture below is this weeks "Nearly Insane" block I was supposed to do. I tried 2 times, once by hand and once by machine, to get this block done. After 3hrs of mega frustration I threw all my attempts in the trash. I decided to re-draw the pattern. Below is the original pattern. Under that is the one I re-drew. Below that is my finished block. I think it turned out pretty great! No more Y seams for me on this quilt. From now on I will just do it my way.

I finished hand stitching these tonight so I thought I would post them before the weekend is over.

I hope you all have a great week!

Stuff

I forgot to post my June Calendar block I made last Sunday. It will be nice next year when I can just hang these up.

The next 5 blocks are from June's Rainbow Jane BOM. I have 2 more prepped but they need hand work before I can take their picture.

The one below is this weeks traditional Jane BOW. I keep threatening to send this on vacation but the OCD that I suffer from won't let me.

Of course I have my Nearly Insane BOW too. This one is block #39. I am really afraid to see what this weeks block is going to be. She said it was scary. :O

Nearly Insane Block 47

Another fairly easy Nearly Insane block. This one measures 6" and has 36 pieces.

I added the wide borders to the Wildflower Sampler that I posted about earlier. It does look very naked without all the applique so I guess I will do it. I will try to do one corner a month and see how that goes. ACK! I learned my lesson on pattern picking.
