Working Through The WIP Basket

My goal at the moment is to work on only whatever is in my WIP basket. It's been very satisfying to get some small projects finished and get some quilts to the almost completed stage.

Quilt top finished, backing pieced and binding made for this one. Blocks were already made and sitting in the WIP basket.

Quilting finished on the Cameo quilt and the binding sewn to the front. This is the first quilt that I have made for myself so I will be hand stitching the binding down. Could take a while.

Re-made the fabric covered baby wipes container that was supposed to go with the Scrappy Zoo baby quilt.

Some reusable snack bags for my cousin. I used this tutorial but instead of sewing down the outside to enclose the inside seams, I just overlocked them. 

Christmas placemat made from a left over block from the Very Merry HST BOF. I have finished the quilt top but I just need to take some photos.

Ok so this wasn't in the WIP basket. It's something completely new. In all fairness I had the idea and I just had to do one block to make sure it was going to turn out like what was in my head :)

Ornament.

Now to re-do the Tinsel block with these fabrics and put them all together. Still deciding whether to make a large table runner or a wall hanging.

A Very Merry HST BOF: Block 2

I am a bit behind. Thankfully I had already cut my squares weeks ago for this one so I quickly whipped it up the other night.

Block 2: Angel

I had forgotten that I had this Christmas fabric in the cupboard. I think I have enough to do all of the blocks with it so I am considering re-doing the Tinsel block with this fabric as well. We shall see at the end.

A Very Merry HST BOF: Block 1

Because I need yet another WIP, I decided to follow along with Blossom Heart Quilts 'A Very Merry HST BOF'. 

It's only six blocks to make a mini quilt at the end. A block a fortnight, a small project and a good way to use up my Christmas fabric scraps.

Here is my version of Block 1: Tinsel

Unfortunately I missed the part where it says 'Press seams open and trim your HSTs to 3" square' so my block is actually 12.5" instead of 10". Whoops! I thought I was being so competent not having to trim my HST's. It's ok though, Alyce said that all I have to do is not trim them for the rest of the blocks.
