I joined the 5 in May WIP along and got to work finishing the first one. First up was my Geofetti 2 Quilt. I tape my backing to the floor then put down the batting and Quilt top. Then pin baste.
I also worked on my King Sized Quilt using the Column Block pattern from Heather Ann Dye Art.
I'm adding a border around it in this beautiful paisley that I got at Urban Spools on Fifth Saturday. I think I'll also use this for the binding.
I did free motion quilting on my Geofetti quilt. It was my first time doing FMQ on a quilt. I've done pillows and smaller items, but thus was my first quilt. It was HARD!
It's also Me Made Day and I've been posting my daily outfits on Instagram in my stories. I went into work for the first time in a long while and had to get a photo there. On this day I wore the Fortuna Pants from the Sew Beautiful book by Kennis Wong and my top is a McCalls pattern. I made both of these during the pandemic and it was my first time to wear the too for more than just photos.
This weekend I got the binding on my Geofetti quilt. I did a scrappy binding. I absolutely love how it came out. This backing was so perfect and I'm so happy to have a nice big chunk left to use in a future project.
I ended the weekend working on one more WIP. I got started on quilting my Perfect Place Quilt (pattern by Lifting Limits Quilting). I am a suckered for punishment, but also determined to learn FMQ well and to get better at it - so I'm doing a wood grain fmq pattern. It's going pretty good and I thinkni would do things a bit differently if I do it again. I think I made my pattern too small. It's going to take awhile to finish, but I do love dense quilting. I think once it's washed it's going to look really good.
I'm hoping to get my Perfect Place Quilt finished this coming week. Then onto the next WIP.
