Cspoonquilt

I don't think I've posted any pix of this quilt.  Just another scrap projects from Flea Market finds.  Lots of strips the same lengths but slightly different widths suggested Chinese coins right away.  I got it pieced really quickly but it sat on the quilt frame for awhile.  With the clock ticking on my unfinished projects for the Quilt Show  (deadline end of Feb.)  I needed to get my act together and clear space on the quilt frame!  Nothing like a little external motivation... I've said it before but I'm such a sucker for those cute juvenile prints!  Look at those cheerful mermaids! I have posted pix of these other two quilts.  I got them all quilted and then ...there they sat for several months.   finishing the quilt above motivated me to get them bound and out of the house! This one is twin size. This one is crib size. I'm pleased with my progress.  I actually got them all finish over the weekend 3 days before the drop date!...

 We made a quick trip up to our cabin on Hood Canal in Washington this week.  It is so much fun to see the Olympics in all their snowy glory!   Sunday when we arrived it was a beautiful sunny day and everything covered in snow.  It was so pretty!  But on Monday PM it started to rain and continued through Thurs. AM!  Which gave me plenty of time to get out my sewing machine!

 Well the Blog 'o day Challenge was truly a Challenge for me but I feel like I gave a respectable turn out?! But now I'm back to my old ways...blog 'o the Week!  LOL!   But I actually have been chiseling  away at  two projects that I need to finish for my Guild's Quilt Show.   I had a major break through on this project.  I was really not loving the beach scene fabric ( see the start here ) but then I realized I could cut out the figures and glue them onto the "sand" where ever I wanted and then the compositions really became more animated!  Now all I need to do is figure out the proportions of the Ocean, Sky and Mountains and I'll be on my way! Have a great week! Take Care, cw
