Weekend Productiveness

Because I had a little major meltdown about my lab stuff, I ended up spending most of my weekend at home sewing on my argyle quilt. And I made homemade chicken noodle soup! It is delicious.

I did finish up another New York Beauty Block:

I made a lot of progress on my argyle quilt. I made more than 30 blocks!

Here's all the ones I made this weekend as well as the growing stack of all of them living on my kitchen chair.

Hope your weekends were also productive! Sign up for the jelly roll strip swap that I'm hosting!

WIP Wednesday: In a Bind

I'm finally catching up on my binding projects. My mom brought my Twist of Lime quilt this past weekend because the machine quilting got finished, so now just the binding stands between me and crossing this one off the WIP list.

My binding is from the Fantasia collection. A perfect find for this project. 

I got the binding all sewed on Monday night and the edges all trimmed up to start hand stitching.

So now I'm off to hand stitch until I round all of the corners.

Linking up with Freshly Pieced today!

Finished Seville Quilt

Even though I sewed the binding onto this one ages and ages ago, between going in and out of town a dozen times and lots of lab work, it sat folded on my chair for most of the summer. Fail.

Especially when this thing is one of my favorite quilts ever. Silly me.

Pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew
Fabric mostly from Eva by Basic Grey for Moda
Large throw size
More posts: Blocks, more blocks and layout, rows, finished top, binding

I even snapped some artsy outdoor shots.

Can't wait to cuddle with this one this fall!
