WIP Wednesday - Week 6

3/23/2011

14 Comments

 
Wednesday again?  Impossible!  I guess not, but time sure does fly!  This week I have no completed projects, oh well.  But, I did work on my Bottled Rainbows Quilt quite a bit.  I pieced together all of the blocks, cut out all the needed batting, and sorted through all my scraps and organized them by color.  That was quite a task.  I worked a little bit on my fabric stash organizing, but am honestly putting that project on hold for a bit, I'm tired of it.  I started making my light box, purchased all the pvc and pvc joints, plus the white fabric for it, maybe I can finish it up this next week and take some awesome photos!  I also picked out the fabrics for April's Style Stitches project (post to come at a later date.)  I shall sign off at this point, I'm off to do some sewing...

Your scraps look so awesome - my scrap basket is an embarrassment right now!

Glad I'm not the only one with "dream projects" - I call them WIMM (works in my mind) instead of WIPs.

Happy WIP Wednesday!

Love the bottle rainbow! I've been away this week & miss my sewing room! I feel bad not having any finishes for two weeks! Check out my fabrics for the Supernova qa . . . inspired by the colors of the water off the coast of the Big Island.

Wow, your scraps look so organized, good for you! Looks like you've got more than enough for the whole rainbow, that's awesome. I think I'm seriously lacking in a few colors at the moment, but I'm going about this QAL the lazy way and figuring out my scraps as I go :)

oh wow, your scraps look fantastic. I really want to do that bottled rainbow, but I know I don't have any yellow so I'm choosing to be responsible and not buy any (for now!!).

I just sit and started at that first picture for a while--the colors are so beautiful together. And your scraps are so well organized. I'm still dreaming about that quilt. I guess Felicity would call it a WIMM at this point...

Your photos are stunning! I like how you did all the 'boring' set up stuff for your bottled rainbows quilt. Now you are free to play with the tickering!! I look forward to seeing you work on it!

YOur frame blocks and scraps for the rainbow quilt look wonderful! This is going to be beautiful! I so get getting tired of a project and having to set it aside. Sometimes you just need something different.

Oh, your bottled rainbow scraps are so pretty all sorted and bagged. : ) I am hoping to do that qal eventually, just no time right now! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday, have a fabulous week (what's left of it, anyway!)
