Week 1 Progress

This week I have been focusing on using my stash. Here's what I've been working on the last couple of days.

When I started teaching myself to quilt, I found these KP Kids FQs which have been sitting in the closet ever since. It's not the most exciting top, but it's now a top. I am going to practice quilting stars and loops. I'll donate this to Project Linus or another local charity.
Here is the backing, it has footballs, baseballs, gloves, soccer balls, etc. on them.

These are some of the blocks I've made for HeartStrings.

Next is one of the two Block Party blocks I'm making for an online group. The pattern is Waterwheel Variation from Quilt Blocks Galore.

This is what I saw out of my sewing room window yesterday. I couldn't zoom in enough to get a better picture, but these four turkeys were scavening the corn field for food.

Tomorrow starts Week 2 so I'll focus on quilting a top. I'll start loading Rambling Rose for hubby's aunt.

That looks like a fun quilt to practice your quilting on - and a child is sure to love it!!! My 5.5 year old son loves all novelty fabrics!!! Great projects you have going on there - I always sew way more in the winter when I am snowed in.
Cheers! -Evelyn
