| The stages of Step 2 |
I'm using Bonnie's third method to make the diamonds. That results in bonus triangles. I've got them all trimmed to 1.5". (Orca Bay generated bonus triangles, too, and the wallhanging here was the result.)
I was out on errands on Saturday and spied a sign for an estate sale. I was tempted by several mint-in-package cotton bedsheets and a table loaded with embroidered linens and dishtowels. I could not resist this. It had no price tag and the estate sale lady said I could have it!
I finished quilting Waffle Stamps. 3-7/8 yards for the backing and binding. (More here. )
The drawing for Christmas Stars was at the conclusion of the United Methodist Women's chili supper on Saturday. The winner was delighted. Ticket sales brought $400 of which $300 goes to UMW and $100 to me (to defray the cost of professional quilting). (More here .)
I'm linking up with other quiltmakers at Judy's Patchwork Times and Bonnie's Mystery Monday .
I did my last few pieces that way [method 3] all the others I used method 2...I determined method 3 is the way I should have made them all..Haha....Looking very pretty Nann.
ReplyDeleteYou've made great progress on Clue 2! I have my strips cut, that's all. Taking to retreat on Tuesday. I'm going to try method 2 (the rulers?), but I'm only going to do a few to see how they work out. Also only doing half until I see the final reveal.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting so far with the first two clues! I am watching. . . thinking maybe once the final reveal happens, I'll jump in. . . maybe :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Waffle Stamps quilt!! Wowsers! Beautifully done!
AND congrats on a successful raffle! I can see why the winner was delighted! This is a beautiful quilt!
Your mystery parts are looking good! And Yay for bonus triangles! I'm glad the winner of your beautiful quilt was so pleased.
ReplyDeleteI popped over to see what you did with those little leftover triangles. That basket quilt is darling. You are making good progress on your projects.
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric choices for the mystery quilt! And you've made great progress. I have all of the individual units done, just need to pair them up. Can't wait to see what you make with the bonus triangles!
ReplyDeleteStill think your Waffle Stamps is my favorite quilt of the ones I've seen. It is on my list for next year...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to accumulate bonus squares, so didn't use this method. But if you can use them like you did in your cake stand hanging, that's great!
ReplyDeleteMystery is looking good! I did method one, works well but I have to go slow to get precision!
ReplyDeleteoh nann the christmas stars quilt is gorgeous...so glad it generated a respectable amount of $$$....
ReplyDeleteAs always, your blog generates lots of fabulous eye candy! I'm so glad that you're doing the BKH mystery after all, I think you were unsure at first this year, but your steps look marvelous!
