Wednesday again! Time sure flies when you are busy. Here is my progress on the Modern Crosses Quilt, from Modern Log Cabin Quilting by Susan Beals. I am up to 37 blocks. I need somewhere around 60-75 for a proper twin size, I have to do some math - but I think I am over the half way point for sure.
There are almost too many blocks for a photo. I really enjoy working with these bright colours and fancy fabrics. I am using the same stack for the Farmer's Wife QAL. You can see that I added a few more greens and blues to the group of blocks to reduce the red dominance it had before.
Here is one of the two border pieces I am working on for my Kiss in Time quilt. These little squares finish at about 3/4". Below is a shot of the Kiss in Time top so far, which you have already seen. I hope to finish the borders on the weekend and attach them. Then I can start quilting it.
I am also hoping to get a bunch of batting so I can baste and start quilting on the quilt for my bed. I have decided I will go for very simple backs on both of these, likely a nice sheet from IKEA will do the trick.
But it all has to wait, the sewing machine is in the shop. Cross your fingers that they will fix it before the weekend.
I am linking to WIP Wednesday, last week the work linked there was amazing. I hope you will try to visit those folks too.
Best,
Leanne

I enjoyed seeing your modern crosses quilt.
Crosses are looking fabulous, and I'm very impressed with the Klimt quilt!
Stunning work, love the crosses and the klimt quilt just about gives me palpitations thinking about all the work involved - wow! Hope you get your machine back asap.

Your modern crosses quilt is coming along lovely! Sorry about your machine. They had mine for a week a couple of weeks ago and it was like losing an appendage! Hope it comes home soon!
Sorry to hear your machine is poorly! I'm lost without mine! The collection of crosses looks huge, but then I guess they are smallish blocks (they just look big in the pic). Beautiful btw. Jxo
Your mod logs quilt is going to be great! I love bright colors contrasting a nice clean white. Keep stitching!
