WaveRunner Quilt along.

Waverunner.... the top is done, for now. Border, no border, is still to be determined...
I don't have anytime to play with it today.

Look at the Sis Boom POW! Blocks on the left! A few are rolling in...
We had some issues with the white background(shrinkage), but nothing that's going to be an issue. It will work out...
You can follow our progress over the SIS BOOM, POW site.
It's been so fun to see them coming to life!

You can still sign up for the Quilt along,
we'll start next week, Monday or Tuesday, depends on how organized I will be when I get back Sunday night...
There's no major commitment required, your not sending anything off to anyone,
It's just me showing you how to make the Waverunner style quilt,
and you working at your own pace...

With a big Show and tell at the end!

So, between now and then, be gathering your fabrics.
I put wrote a little blurb about
fabric selections in the last post, see below.

Someone asked why to stay away from white based fabrics for this project.
I say this only because for many, white is a comfort zone color,
and many of you mentioned you wanted to BREAK OUT OF THE BOX.
So this is your chance to try something new, go with colors, you never use, or seldom do,
and see what you can create...

And have no fear, it is not a difficult quilt to make. Great for newbies...
It's easy, fun, and gives you quick exciting results...

There seems to have been some blogger issue with comment settings recently, you may want to check your settings to see if its set correct. I've gotten many no reply comments, so if you haven't heard from me, but I have your link on the side, your in. If your link directs you back to my blog, it's because either I don't have your blog, or flickr link, or simply maybe because you don't have a blog etc...

I need these folks emails:

I'm also trying to decide if we need to set up a separate blog to show progress, or just make a day, like Wednesday's, a day for me to post your progress photos... and answer questions...
perhaps you guys can let me know what you would like to do...

Other good stuff...
I have these three little table runner projects that I am doing to work on my machine quilting ... They are so fun to throw together.... I can only show you a sneak peak right now. more later...


And lastly, I am buried in bindings...
The Scrappy Happy, Scrappy Christmas, Parsley patch , Rail fence, and the two simply reds,
are still sitting here waiting for their bindings to be done...
Soon, I'll have some finishes to show!

RATS.

I ran out of fabric...
rats.

I blended some other similar fabrics into this...
Not sure I wan to keep doing that, but i will keep playing with scraps until I get
a bit more solids to finish this.
I love it!


So instead, I worked on this:


And a little of this..

And decided I want to make this one into a whole quilt.
I love the colors.

It makes me smile like this scrappy happy quilt.

Why not have another!

And the Pixie Dust has it's borders on!
It looks amazing.

I'm going to applique a few things in the borders... to jazz it up.
Then it's off to be quilted!

(it's a funky gray dark day, not a good bright picture day!)

pay it forward.

So i have seen people doing this pay it forward idea, and thought it would be fun.
I got in at the matthews family blog, and now, part of the deal is,
I pick three people and send each of you something hand made,
and then each of you three, pick three people to hand make something for,
and so on and so forth.

I like projects like these. It keeps me thinking.

Wanna play along?
leave me a comment.

I'd like to say before Xmas it would be nice to send these items on...
although in John's post, he says you have a year.
But the way I think, I know I will forget about it and then leave someone hanging,
So I am sticking with, these will be sent out before xmas...
tis the season, right?

NOW CLOSED.
