What I'm Quilting Now

[MoBookworm1957]

I just started another quilt myself. Asked Hunny last night what color he thought my border should be? He tells me Navy Blue. The quilt is a "Bee Theme" with colors being black, yellows/gold and greens. Never ask my Hunny about colors.

Most men, but not all will almost always say Navy Blue.
To them that is a safe color.
Make a miniature block and do one border in Navy Blue so that he feels like he contributed to the quilt.
This is what I do on occasion then I take all those miniature blocks and make into doll or baby quilts for grand children.
Yes, it is a pain in the but, but this way he has contributed too.

Finally finished the quilting on my forever quilt and it’s trimmed and the binding will hopefully be put on tomorrow. Now onto my next UFO. . And you thought I was gonna run out-haha. Piecing this by hand- those are 1” diamonds and 4” hexies. Then will quilt it by hand also but have another quilt on the frame so will get rolling on that. It should go a little quicker- all straight lines.

After that a sampler hand embroidered sampler quilt for myself.
Working on Christmas 2024.

My wife is almost done making her maple leaf blocks. She's having a heck of time arranging them, on the living room floor, so the colors are evenly distributed throughout the quilt. I can't remember, but I think she told me that each 8" block was made of 17 pieces.

I'd say 17 was correct. That takes a lot of peicing and she did a really good job so be proud. That is a nice layout she chose.

Loving this Hun! Is this one of yours? I got a bee quilt going on, but nothing special.

All the blocks and a 3.5" border are sewn together. Approximate dimensions are 94" x 104". Next is to buy the backing material and then bringing it all to the longarm quilter lady (the quilter lady has the batting).

She is considering a variegated colored thread for the quilting. Not sure when she'll have a backing material picked. She is looking at the few shops we have within 50 miles, as well as, online dealers.
