Welcome to my day of the Peak a Who? blog hop. Hosted by Marian of
Seams to Be Sew. I have a few items to show today that I have worked on over the past few months.
First up, I wanted to tackle an old Halloween UFO. I created one just like it several years ago in
2010 as part of the "La Petite - A Year of Small Projects" challenge. This pattern is called Paganini from Ms. Rosie's Quilt company and is designed for Charm Packs. When I first cut out the project I used several 5 inch strips from my yardage instead of a charm pack. This method left me with way too much left over fabric for one quilt. So I decided I would cut enough for two quilts, which I did. I made the first quilt right away. The second one... well....
I played with it again in
2015 hoping to finish it as part of the 2015 Finish-A-Long. I made some good progress on it and got the top done and even got the backing and batting picked out but that was it.
The next several months it got moved around and put on hold while other projects moved to the top of the to do list. It has been sitting and waiting its turn for quilting, until now.
I finally finished it as part of the third quarter of the 2018 Finish-A-Long and today am excited to show it off to you all as part of the Peek A Who? blog hop.
And check out who is peeking around on the back.
Another one of my Spooky creations was a Halloween tote bag.
Look Who is peeking out on the front! He was made for a Spooky Tote Swap I joined. I actually made two identical bats. One for each side of the bag.
The paper pieced bat pattern is called midnight Bite and is from
Lillyella.com. The tote pattern also comes from
Lillyella.com and is a free tutorial
here. The fun part of this swap was knowing who my spooky partner was. Most the swaps I have joined are blind swaps and you don't know who your partner is till the package lands on your doorstep. I like this way better because it allows me to get to know a new quilty friend.
My final project is till a flimsy, mainly because of this.
My ruler foot broke on my quilting machine, I wasn't even using my quilt rulers at the time or going over any seams, just doing and all over filler in a solid piece of fabric. Next thing I know the machine jumps and I'm out one presser foot. So quilting on this next project will be delayed. But not for too long, a new presser foot is already in the mail heading my way.
Not too long ago I fell in love with One Block Wonder quilts. I have already made two and have two more cut out and I have already purchased fabric for 3 more. What can I say, I'm hooked.
This summer I discovered One Block Wonders using panels and I had to have one of my own.
This hop was the perfect reason to buy a fabulous Halloween panel.
Seven panels to be exact.
One for the center and one to cut up.
After several different layouts options I ended up with this one. I love how the hexagons carry the distorted image away to the edges. I can see myself making many more of these! I think I may try it without the inner border on my next one and see how that comes out.
