Hump Day once again, y'all! I'm sure you guys are tired of seeing/reading about my Supernova quilt. That's one of the curses of working on the same quilt until it's done before starting a new one. :P I'm loving working on it though! I've had a blast every step of the way (except basting, of course. YUCK!). I really like improv piecing and I'm looking forward to a lot more of it in my quilting future. So quilting this beast has actually been fun! I was worried about wrestling it all over the place and what not, but it has been surprisingly cooperative (knock on wood, I'm still not done! Lol).
So here's a sneak peek of a little bit of the FMQ I've done. I've never done swirl-thingy-majigs, but after a quick Pinterest search, I was zooming through them! You can tell when my hands got shaky, especially on the blue parts, but overall, I'm happy with the results. :)
I did sort of start a new quilt this week though! I've jumped on the bandwagon for the Scrap Vortex along over at Crazy Mom Quilts. I wasn't feeling the best the other day, but I reallllllllly wanted to sew some. I didn't feel like I had the energy or the focus to quilt on the Supernova, so I just started grabbing scraps out of my bins and sewing them together. I made a nice little pile in no time at all! I don't have enough scraps to make a whole quilt (at least I don't think I do), but I can make it a work in progress and keep adding as I make more scraps. :)
Linking up with WIP Wednesday!
Squeee! Swirling is so much fun! Talk all you like about your fabulous Super Nova...it's all good! Love hearing about the journey from beginning to end. That scrap vortex looks like a superb scrap buster!
ReplyDeleteI really like swirly quilting, I'll definitely be using it in the future. :) And the scrap vortex is great for busting the scrap piles! And it's fun seeing fabric from past projects, like a little stroll down memory lane while I sew. Lol.
DeleteLove that little kitty fabric!
ReplyDeleteThat was from one of the first things I sewed with my machine, I was so excited to be able to fussy cut that little guy out!
DeleteI love your swirly quilting.... you did great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorinda! I'll definitely be using swirls in my quilting future! :)
