The Coming End of Spring Break

  Spring Break is almost over:(  Just one more day of rest nd then it's back to the daily of packed lunches, and making sure everyone gets to school, soccer, dance and wherever else they need to be on time.  We've had a pretty laid back lazy break, no major plans, so I've been able to get a fair amount of quilting done.  I have three quilts that I am in the process of piecing.  The first one is my paper foundation pieced string quilt.

These pieces are half a row each.  All I have left to do on this one is to finish putting each row together and then sew all the rows together, I should get this top finished before the end of spring break.

The next one I'm working on is a table topper, actually two of them.

These are the pieces for a couple of table toppers.  I need to piece all the blocks and then put them together with a slashing.  I probably won't get this one finished this week because I don't think I have the right color of red in my stash to do the sashing with.  It may have to wait until after payday to be finished.  

The last one I'm working on is a hexagon quilt.

This quilt is made using the half hexagon template from Missouri Star Quilt Company (I <3 data-blogger-escaped-actually="" data-blogger-escaped-all="" data-blogger-escaped-and="" data-blogger-escaped-are="" data-blogger-escaped-around="" data-blogger-escaped-back="" data-blogger-escaped-bought="" data-blogger-escaped-clingy="" data-blogger-escaped-cut="" data-blogger-escaped-depends="" data-blogger-escaped-design="" data-blogger-escaped-div="" data-blogger-escaped-doing="" data-blogger-escaped-fabric="" data-blogger-escaped-finished="" data-blogger-escaped-get="" data-blogger-escaped-getting="" data-blogger-escaped-got="" data-blogger-escaped-how="" data-blogger-escaped-i="" data-blogger-escaped-in="" data-blogger-escaped-it.="" data-blogger-escaped-it="" data-blogger-escaped-its="" data-blogger-escaped-just="" data-blogger-escaped-jut="" data-blogger-escaped-kids="" data-blogger-escaped-laid="" data-blogger-escaped-m="" data-blogger-escaped-might="" data-blogger-escaped-msqc="" data-blogger-escaped-my="" data-blogger-escaped-now="" data-blogger-escaped-october="" data-blogger-escaped-of="" data-blogger-escaped-on="" data-blogger-escaped-one="" data-blogger-escaped-out="" data-blogger-escaped-pieces="" data-blogger-escaped-pleasure="" data-blogger-escaped-something="" data-blogger-escaped-store="" data-blogger-escaped-template="" data-blogger-escaped-the="" data-blogger-escaped-this="" data-blogger-escaped-to="" data-blogger-escaped-tomorrow.="" data-blogger-escaped-ve="" data-blogger-escaped-visiting="" data-blogger-escaped-wall.="" data-blogger-escaped-week="" data-blogger-escaped-when="" data-blogger-escaped-with="">

Speaking of, the kids are knee deep in Legos right now so I think I'm gonna go hide away in my sewing room! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Piecing Batting Scraps

Just a quick share today!  One of the pages I follow on facebook shared this tutorial today on how to piece together batting scraps so that they can be used for larger quilts.  I have several scraps hanging around my craft room because I figured I could used them for something.  I've heard that this can be done but I've never done it before.  Thanks to Chrissie D. for posting this tutorial:

I know I will be trying it out soon.  Let me know if you try it out and how it goes.

Have a great day!
