WIP Wednesday: Recovering
After battling that delightful fall cold for the better part of this week, I finally got up off the couch on Monday and I'm getting my energy back. About time! Feeling unproductive is the worst.
I almost finished my Waterfront Park Cartwheel blocks when I screwed up some cutting and had to order more fabric. Blurg. Good thing I actually started this project in a timely manner instead of procrastinating until the last minute like I usually do. I love how it's turning out—it reminds me of shards of broken glass, all jagged edges, but yet sparkly too. And I'm so excited about this quilt, because for the first time, a quilt of mine is going to Market to sell my own wares. This quilt will be up in the booth of one of my pattern distributors, in hopes of bringing in lots of pattern orders from shops.
With just under a week to go until the 100 Quilts for Kids link-up closes, I finished my charity quilt top with my stray Farmer's Wife blocks. A black dot print might not be the most typically kid-friendly print, but I had it on hand and I really like it for the background. And that counts for something, even with a charity quilt, right? (Thanks to all of you who suggested dots!) Now I just need to quilt this one up. I'm thinking it needs a nice red binding.
Finally, I'm working on a shot-cotton challenge for the Milwaukee Modern Quilt Guild. I wasn't feeling super inspired by my assigned color—in fact, it kind of left me cold. But I guess that's why they call it a challenge. Anyway, I think I'm onto something now. But sorry, no pictures—it's an anonymous challenge because we'll all be voting!
What are you working on this week? Here are the linky rules:
1. Link up any post from the past week that features at least one unfinished work-in-progress (WIP).
2. Somewhere in your post, you must link back here to my blog. (Or grab the WIP Wednesday button for your sidebar.)
3. Comment on at least a few of the other WIP Wednesday links—commenting on the two or three links directly before yours works well to make sure everyone gets comments!
