I was surprised to see projects pinned to my design walls when we put them back up over the weekend.
I knew I had left projects on there, but the mists of time clouded over which ones they actually were.
I took all the bits and bobs off the large design wall (pictured) and pressed all the pieces, then put them back up. I really thought I was finished with that Pop Parade Ends quilt. I was shocked to see it still in process. The crazy part is, which I am sure I mentioned before, is how many quilts I made out of the Pop Parade (great name) fabric bundle. Most were FQs, but some were half yards.
Still, I made two donation quilts, one improv-ish and one out of the leftover HSTs from the X quilt. I also made the X Quilt from this Pop Parade line.
Granted, the last bits of leftover Pop Parade fabric is not much. I paired it with other ‘ends’. The two light pieces on the edges (only in the above photo, not the detail, right) aren’t sewn to the quilt yet. I have to see if I want them there. Part of that decision will be measuring.
It is a great feeling to see that I am almost done with a quilt and didn’t even realize it.
That’s a really nice surprise to have an almost done quilt top reappear. That Pop Parade fabric made it into a lot of quilts. Those are your circles from the Latifah Saafir class, right?
I definitely used the Latifah tools to make the circles and she showed me how to cut those circles with orange peel inserted. The particular shape wasn’t part of the class, though. An extra I asked about after trying out the tools.
