WIP Wednesday - August 10

8/10/2011

14 Comments

 
Yesterday I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but thankfully today I apparently woke up on the right side of the bed, in a great mood and ready to accomplish things (even if it is only the laundry!)  I have been a little (or a lot) lax on my WIP Wednesday's lately, and I am pretty sure that I have decided to either just do them one or twice a month from now on.  I don't need any more pressure or stress than I already have, and honestly I just can't get things accomplished like before my preggo days!  That being said, here is what I have been up to during the last few weeks:

I finished a lovely pinwheel star for "time2sew" in the Quilting newBEES group.  I had a lot of fun making this block and it went together really quickly!  Though, it does look rather wrinkly, which isn't cool.

I finally finished my Kaleidoscope quilt top!  Hallelujah!  I wasn't in love with this one, honestly, but now seeing it hanging from one of our oak trees and being able to "step back" I do like it a lot more, and it is my favorite colors! Now I just need to get a back together for it!  I may set aside this project for a while and work on other things.....

I was also able to finish up a few projects hanging over my head:

That is a beautiful Kaleidoscope quilt! I could totally imagine it with either a pretty lime green or purple binding.

I love your kaleidoscope! I don't do the lists for WIP Wednesday, you could just post your progress without all the lists that might make one feel stressed.

I think you are wise not to put any further pressure on yourself - blogging and quilting are supposed to be fun!

I'm not usually too crazy about purple, but I love how it turned out in your Kaleidoscope!
