WIP Wednesday


In an effort to remain accountable, I am going to do 

regular and organised WIPS posts in 2013, based on 

my UFO list!
*  *  *
So here goes....

  Scrappy Tripalong Quilt-now called "Trip Trap"

(Can you guess why?)

25 blocks completed....


This probably won't be the final layout, but it is being 

put aside for a while...



...another block finished.

Two more like this to go!


The blue arc is new!
Some definite design decisions have been made!


I did take it out to look at !

And considered chucking it!


NO PROGRESS-

AMH Feather Quilt (main fabric purchased)
 I want to learn to knit socks this year!
(not strictly a UFO because I haven't even started yet!)

NEW PROJECT-


I've been wanting to make a skirt for some time!
 
Today I found the perfect fabric!

The sewing frenzy may be curtailed next week...

The Australian Open starts!

What WIPS have you been working on?

Linking up....

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

Happy sewing!

    Nice job on the Scrappy Tripalong Quilt, it's looking great. I actually like the layout you've got happening with darker colours toward the centre of the diamond.

    Certainly lots happening. I thought the start of the tennis meant more sewing time with the TV on. Unless you are going into the tennis.

    Ha - the trip along is totally a trap! Ginger kisses looks like it will be a great quilt.

    Not too many projects (compared to some (Katy, cough).
    I;m surprised I don't remember your Ginger Kisses quilt. I want to make one of those too.
    I used to sew my own clothes, love the fabric for the skirt.

    Wow, Susan! You have some very nice works going on! I am loving all the scrappy trips but I am going to resist. Honestly, I am just about jumping out of my skin to see your pickle dish! It looks sooooo yummy!!!!

    Love the scrap trip quilt. I am afraid resistance maybe futile.
    Is that the sew serendipity book you are using to make a skirt? Would love to know how you get on. I was given the same book and haven't done anything with it yet (well other than look at the pictures).

    do you follow 1/4" mark blog? She made a kitchen sink quilt with all her orphan blocks and it is amazing. That's what I am going to do with some of my UFO's.

    I was wondering how you were getting along with the Ginger Kisses quilt - whether it was working out for you, or whether it had been put away in disgrace. I still have my doubts about its construction and am eagerly awaiting your progress as the chief guinea pig. I am now leaning towards another project in the same book... wait for Project Number Three :0)

    'Trip Trap' looks great - I love how the dark fabrics really show the design!

    I also find blogging on WiP Wednesdays is a great way to stay focused and get projects completed.

    I really love all of these projects and I also like your little seam ripper from last post. I have wanted to make a pickle dish quilt forever, I might have an excuse to do so soon, I sure love your block.
