Started a new project!

This weekend my husband and I started cutting up some of his old shirts. The plan is to use the fabric for a quilt using Bonnie Hunter's design Bricks and Stepping-Stones. I think this design will be great with the fabric we have. He really needs a warm quilt in this cold weather. I am now cutting the 'bricks' for this quilt, and I hope I will be finished cutting tomorrow.
Last week spring seemed to be coming, but during the weekend it started snowing again. I am definitely ready for spring, lets hope it comes soon! In the mean time I will be indoors cutting and sewing bricks and stepping-stones.

Here is a picture of how the quilt could look like (borrowed from Bonnie's website): 

A finished block!

The first block of the BOM 'Stitched by me' is finished! It was fun to make. Unfortunately the colors do no show off as good as they are supposed to in the light indoors at night. Tomorrow I will be headed out to Quiltegården to buy block #2.

Spring seems to have come early this year, rain and relatively warm temperatures are dominating.Where I am living, though, we have had so much snow that it will take quite some time before spring flowers will emerge. But, we are heading towards summer!

Work in progress

Just a few words about my newest project, Stitched by me by Lynette Anderson. The first block is assembled, the text is transferred, and now I have to do some appliqué and stitching. I'll be back with the finished block.

My own design!

I saw this quilt block contest at Crazy Old Ladies Quilts and figured out I had to enter. I decided I had to create a block of my own, and I have named it 'Sunset Squares'.The block measures 12.5" square, finished size 12". Now I'll have to figure out where to use this block.

The secret is revealed!

Today I can show my secret quilt, since the receiver will not see it until tomorrow, on Valentine's day! I found the design in !Sew We Quilt! , and I made my version of it during the weekend. It was a fine little project, and fun to make as an in-between quilt.

Now I can concentrate on 'Stitched by me' by Lynette Anderson. I started assembling the first block of this BOM yesterday. I really enjoy it!

Sneak peak!

I will let you have a little peak of a project I finished yesterday. The full version will be presented in a couple of days.
