Hi, all!
Guess what, y'all? It's Friday again! And we all know what that means - - - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on! So let's get started....
*&*&*&*&*&*&*
This week I ignored the beautiful spring weather we had and holed up in my studio to work one of the t-shirt commission quilts... and it paid off!
The top is finished! And once again, with Lilli's help laying it out and charting it out on graph paper, it went together like a dream. It's square, straight, and came together with a minimum of fuss. I did make one mistake, cutting a tiny piece 2"x3" rather than 2"x4", so the last seam didn't match up correctly the first time, but once I pulled it out and replaced it with the right size, it all worked out!
Then, since I was still waiting for the backing fabric to arrive, I started ironing some fabric for the next project - - - but then realized I hadn't quilted this week's String Theory quilt! So a quick basting and some down-and-dirty quilting, and that's finished too....
Now I just have to write the tutorial. I guess that's what weekends are for!
So - - - can I get a whoop whoop?
*&*&*&*&*&*&*
And now it's your turn!
What's got you whooping it up this week?
What's making you do a little happy dance?
Share! We want to dance right along with you,
And it's always more fun to dance with friends!
The party will stay open until Sunday midnight.
Hope to see you there!
Hugs!
Sarah
A really productive week! The commission quilt looks wonderful. And what a great assistant you have.

https://mybijoulifeonline.com,
I always enjoy seeing your t-shirt quilts. I'm taking mental notes for when I decide to make the two I have waiting on my list.
ReplyDeleteYou sure can! Your t-shirt quilts are stunning!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with you knocking off that t shirt quilt so quickly! Expert assistance helps too. Enjoy your next project!
ReplyDeleteYet another fabulous T-shirt concoction from you! Hey, while you're in tutorial mode, I'd love it if you could somehow show/explain how you do that swirled quilt effect in the last photo. I've admired that photo styling technique on social media for awhile now, but when I've tried it myself it has been an epic fail! How do you get the quilt to do a pretty swirl like that instead of looking all wadded up in the middle?
ReplyDeleteYour rock, Sarah! The T-shirt quilt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting another T-quilt top together! Can I borrow Lily??? I've got another commission on the horizon and I'm terrible with puzzle-style construction. SEW looking forward to this week's H2H tutorial, Sarah!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing all the different layouts for your t-shirt quilts. Maybe I'll make a decision for my own. LOL
