I did most of the work on this quilt, Ramblin' Rose in February. This weekend the ric-rac stems have been sewn down. I'm working on the flowers, then it needs to be bound.
I have a good start on my version of Sashiko for this week's WOW challenge - the theme is Japan.
Sharon from Kentucky made this Quilt of Valor. I always audition several thread colors before starting to quilt. White / off-white is seldom my first choice but with the red, white and blue quilts it usually seems to be the best.
The final Project Quilting challenge of Season 2 is large scale prints. This looks large, doesn't it? A striped or plaid fabric still needs to be added.
These are pieces for a Quilt of Valor that is going to a wounded hero that I know. 108 rectangles that have one bit of blue and 54 rectangles of white/blue/white will yield sets of little triangle that will make 216 HST that are 1 3/4" square. I'm still working on what to do with them. Several red and white blocks are already finished... no pic.
This is probably the reason I have so many middles and no finishes ;) It's almost finished. Tonight? Tomorrow? Then I plan to have a week full of finishes.

yes, I think that print is big enough...should be intesting to asee what u come up with...I know it will be something good;)
That puzzle is HUGE....good for your brain to work puzzles;)
Karen, I was planning buttons or beads in the flower centers but was thinking pink... black is a much better idea.
You have lots going on. It's going to be a busy week for me, too!
I LOVE puzzles. Haven't done one for a while. It was difficult when we had cats - the pieces kept disappearing, omly to show up later with bite marks that altered their fit. LOL
Take a break, enjoy what you like, life is short!
