I've been a little distracted the past couple of weeks and before that, I spent at least two weeks ironing fabric so my productivity has not been that great this year, so far. But my workspace is way cleaner and I don't feel so cramped in my sewing room.
I finally needed a break from ironing fabric and for last week's Friday Night Sew-In, I finished putting on the border and quilting the Lake Cabin scrappy quilt. This pattern was designed by Kim Brackett, from her Scrap Basket Sensations book.
I quilted it with the Crystal Gem pantograph which came with my ProStitcher software and is available from Quilting Daily. The pattern had a lot of backtracking and it didn't match up as perfectly as I would like, but it looked good with this border fabric.I used four different 80-20 cotton-poly scraps for the batting. I used the trick where you just keep adding pieces, as shown in this video.
And today, I finally got my Finger Lakes Log Cabin quilt on my quilting frame.
Now I just need to get brave enough to start. I published my quilting plan several days ago.
My plan for the week is to work on this quilt until it is finished.
Linking up with Tuesday ToDo.
Sharon Both your Lake Cabin and Finger Lakes Log Cabin quilts look beautiful. I love the fabrics/colours you are using. Congrats on getting one quilted and one on the frame. I hope your week is going well. Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday.
