Quilting
This is the fourth round and I think there's enough for a fifth. Wow. Someone cut way too many QSTs. At least they are all going into this final Ocean Waves quilt. Although I've complained about the repetitive sewing I want to finish this quilt.
Ocean Waves V in progress, starting round 4 |
And here it is with the next round of triangles sewn.

There's at least a yard of the fabric used for Bramble Blossom #1 stems that might make work in the border here. Using up more stash stuff. Win/win.

Meanwhile I've continued working on the kawandi placemats. Four finished; all with this soft brown plaid backing. My previous set is multicolored. With Fiesta plates in a variety of colors, it seemed more monochromatic placemats would better set them off. The top left print on the left-most placemat is a gift from Sujata Shah who is visiting this year. We'll certainly be eating off these.
The center of BB1 is basted. The next step is machine appliqueing them. Then I can start on some borders. Way behind but still plugging along... very slowly.
The ocean wave quilt look so good! It is going to be a beautiful quilt! The placemats are lovely!
ReplyDeleteWOW just lovely Ocean Wave quilts--and I really like the Kawandi placemats--so pretty with your fiesta Ware I'll bet;)))

Ocean Wave V....since there are seven seas will you have two more OWs eventually? LOL.
ReplyDeleteOcean Waves 4 is looking so good and you're nearly at the finish line, apart from the quilting of course! So, we're all now waiting for Ocean WavesV to make an appearance. I love your soft colours in the Kawandi placemats, it's going to be a delight to find these under your dinner plate.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! I haven't even made one Ocean Waves and here you are on Number 5. Wow! Love the Kawandi placemats. So sweet and feminine.
ReplyDeleteI really like your placemats and so want to make a cloth. I might have to just jump in.
ReplyDeleteYour ocean waves is so wonderful - all of them have been. Pretty placemats, too.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for sticking with Ocean Waves - it's coming together beautifully. And your new placemats are very pretty too.
