Work In Progress Wednesday

This week is a special week for W.I.P. Wednesday! It is the 1 year anniversary! Wow, did that ever fly by. It has been so fun seeing all the great projects and meeting talented people through this linky party. Thank you so much Lee at Freshly Pieced for hosting us every week. It has been a great year. :)

Here is what I have been working on the last week or so.


I pulled out my vintage sheet doll quilts that I started for my kids a while back. I needed something simple and straightforward that I knew I could make good progress on in the short times I have to sew each day. I got the second girl's top pieced and both the boy's tops are ready to be assembled into 4 patch blocks. It felt great to get something accomplished.

Girl's Doll Quilt Top #2
 
Doll Quilt Tops 2 and 1 (I had intended to reverse the block layout so they would be different but the same, but I forgot. Too much time between sewing the two. Guess I should make notes or something and keep them with my projects.)

Partial blocks for boys doll quilt tops.
Completed tops hangin’ out:
Sliced Coins
Neutral Mediterranean

Need to start:
Ashby baby quilt (fabric ordered!!)
Burp cloth

    I decided to make the rounds of Lee's original WIP-ers and leave a comment on each of their blogs, saying a thanks for helping her get this weekly event off the ground.

    While I was here, I had a fun time looking around your blog, reading about you (I'm LDS and live in SoCal, too!) and enjoying the ambience of your blog. You are quite a talented and interesting woman, although it appears you like Texas living, and I could hardly wait to come back to California (too hot in Dallas for me!). I did leave some good friends there though, and know a couple of others who have moved to the D/FW area.

    Anyway--just wanted to say thanks, and tell you I enjoyed reading your blog. I'll be back!

    I made my 3 granddaughters doll quilts for their birthdays this past August. I had fully intended on making more to sell in my etsy store. Just something to add to my list of things I didn't get to.

    Doll quilts are great fun. If you turn one of them one quarter turn, they'll be different. ;)
