WIP Wednesday: The one with the luggage ready

+A block from Checkers quilt

I am getting ready for my Christmas holidays!!! I will be gone for two weeks (yeah!!!), enjoying my family and friends...

I will leave you with this weeks progress:

On Friday, prepared and during the weekend finished a small brown quilt whose blocks, you can see bellow. I had so much fun piecing those (12 in total), because I really am in love with reproduction fabrics. More details about the process on my next post.

Now my stats:

Finished:
Little brown quilt

Currently in progress:
Checkers quilt: piecing whenever there is time
Dresden quilt: still hand-quilting

No progress:
Butterfly quilt
Pinwheel quilt: still waiting for the backing fabric

This week's stats:
Completed projects - 1
New projects -0 (but thinking of two)
Currently in progress - 4

Now it is your turn! Link your own progress at Freshly Pieced and take a peek on how everyone else is doing.

PS. See you in a couple of weeks!!

WIP: The Pinwheel and the Cold

pinwheel quilt 6:58 PM

"Baby it's cold outside"...not only listening to the song (the Rufus Wainwright version) but literally it is cold in Peloponessus...and nobody is buying petroleum for the heater, only wood for their fireplace. Our house is really "windy" and no fireplace is enough to heat it. So we stay by the fireplace and far away from my sewing room. Everyday I transport the essential sewing supplies to a table next to the fireplace, in order to sew something!!!

Enough whining....I finished the top of my Pinwheel crib quilt...finally.
I used 2 Charm Packs, the Oliver & S "Cape Ann" and "Hoo's in the Forest" by Riley Blake. Of course the background is Kona cotton.
