With my pink scraps sewn up for the month’s projects, I turned my sights to necessary, but less fun, things. I made these 4 bindings & sewed 3 of them on quilts, so they are in the pipeline for hand-sewing. The fourth is for the pumpkin quilt dropped off at the quilter yesterday, so it will be ready when it’s done. Yay!
Here is what I’ve been sewing up the rest of the week: blocks for the Indigo Way Mystery. Yes, all the units are now finished & the next clue is to start making Block A & Block B. I made several of A & then wanted to see how it looks with the B block, so made three of those. It’s super cool! I made all the units asked for in the clues, but will be putting together a lap quilt, then making a donation quilt with the leftover blocks. (In case you’re curious, the setting triangles are made of half blocks using the same units, much like the quarter block corners.)
And finally, we went shopping on Friday & bought all the fabrics to make a smaller baby quilt out of this MSQC pattern. It will be this year’s silent auction quilt for Festival of Trees, benefitting Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. I will get cutting after Indigo Way gets off the wall.
Well done on completing your pink sewing and moving you other projects closer to completion! Have fun with the airplane quilt…I was thinking about making that one too but the whole wedge portion of the plane scares me! I’m excited to see yours come together. 🙂
Seeing your beautiful Indigo Way blocks reminds me that my blocks are laying in the project box waiting to become something. The colors your chose for the baby quilt will be great in that quilt pattern. It will make a terrific silent auction quilt.
I’m in the midst of making a baby quilt for a niece and her husband using the Wild Blue Yonder pattern as well. I’m still debating on how many planes to sew, but I’m starting with 5 by 4 and will see if I want to change it. Have you decided on how many planes you will make for a baby size?
The baby’s nursery is more muted colors, but I found a cute fabric collection that had paper airplanes on it ?
I’m doing a 4×4 layout, cutting 5″ borders that finish at 4″ to end up with a 42″x50″ quilt.
Indigo Way is a beautiful design, with lots of pieces and parts! I bet it feels good to have some time to work on it. That looks like a fun baby quilt pattern, too!
