Finished:
This week we completed our Japanese Fabric Swap. We are very excited to receive our charm packs and a few folks are already posting finished projects using them! For now, I am just happy to pet, look and imagine what I will create. This week I will be adding a Japanese Fabric Swap tab to Fluffy Sheep Quilting. It's nearly ready for prime time!
Currently In Progress:
I finished the top for Lattice Illusions this week. I am simply thrilled to have reached this milestone. The back and binding are ready to go. Tomorrow I will layer it and get to quilting. I think I have a quilting plan that is mostly stitch in the ditch in the center three panels and a cross-hatch in the border "tiles". We'll see how it goes, anyway.
I am still playing catch up for the Birdie Stitches BOM from Little Miss Shabby. I have the January to May blocks finished, but not June. I finished the July block earlier this week and have to jump in on August. I want to put a little more of my own personality into this block calendar, so I'd like to re-design the June block to be a camping picture and the August block to be a snorkeling/diving scene. I'll work on that this week.
The Sew Bee Blissful quilting bee (hosted by Sew Happy Geek) has just started. I am happy to be part of this, my first, quilting bee. Come back tomorrow for a more detailed post!
As usual on a Wednesday, I am linking up with Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday, and Someday Crafts Whatever Goes Wednesday.

Once its here, I can finish the corner blocks, stitch on the final two borders (which are already pieced) and finish the back. When layered I will (somehow) quilt this with straight lines so as to not detract from the piecing pattern. The Kona Papaya binding arrived today. I am really in love with the yellows in this quilt, so I wanted to highlight them in the binding.
I sent off my charms for the Rainbow Charm Swap 2 at Ellison Lane Quilts. I am looking forward to seeing what lovely packet I get in return.
