An Earnest Attempt.....

I am going to make an earnest attempt to finish the unfinished projects that have been calling to me....
I began this Spiderweb quilt, called Pop Stars by Kathy Doughty , eons ago....

.
I can actually see the end in sight....I love how this quilt is coming together and it is no little wisp of a quilt.  This one will end up about 75+ inches by 80+ inches.  It is a bit smaller that the quilt from Material Obession 2.

   
 My slow progress by no means is a reflection of my attitude towards this quilt....I just get distracted way too easily....


But I am doubling down my efforts and am determined to finish this one soon! 

I have also added block 6 and 7 to my Rose and Star Portfolio....


I like how this project is coming together.  The happy kitchen-y fabrics are fun.

  
I have purchased several of the Michael Miller Kitchen Collection fabrics....they fit well with the flavor of this quilt!  Get it!  Flavor!  hee hee.....I should go on the road, right???


And I am having a great time piecing these....they go together much more quickly than the Grandmothers Flower Garden {my other unfinished project}.....oh well....

Happy Tuesday!

  3. I think you are remarkable with your time frames. I have been working for weeks to put a cape together. I love the spiderweb and I really like the cherry block's fabric. Very nice. Cheers. LJ

  9. I love your choice of fabrics. In the Spider quilt have you used specific ranges. If so, what are they, please?

  10. You live and learn... I think that's why we abandon various projects. We see a new challenge, and want to start it right away... we want to learn another new thing. That's not a bad thing.

    I love your spider web. I'm going to sign up as a follower so I can see it finished... or not. Whatever you decide. You made me smile, and that's a good thing.
    Hugs!

  12. The background fabrics on the Spiderweb quilt are SO perfect! I love the variations you've used! And the cherry fabric- is there anything more wonderful than cherry fabric! And maybe your Rose Stars could be called Kitchen Stars! LOL!
