Work In Progress





It was really great  having and extra day off from work. I had been really looking forward to this holiday (Labor Day) for a few weeks already.  I was able to catch up on household work and  made a lot of progress on my Jacob's Ladder quilt. I got all of the cutting and most of the piecing done. I would had been able to finished the quilt top, but I had I minor set back... on a few of the patchwork blocks  I sew the stripped fabric in the wrong direction. Oops!. It can be easily fixed, and I was able to catch it before  I sew those blocks to the quilt. But it takes time to undo the seams and sew them back again in the right direction. I'm almost done fixing the blocks and I will be back on track. I hope to finish the quilt next weekend hoping I have no more set backs.
I hope you had a good weekend as well.

Update: I'm linking to WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced

  1. Your fabrics for the quilt are lovely. I think everyone needs to sew on a couple of fabrics the wrong way round now and again just to keep us on our toes!

  4. The colors look beautiful together. I like that last picture of your sewing pins. I have the flower pins, but now I want the butterfly pins. :)

  5. I am loving those colors! Can't wait to see the completed top :) And yes, we all have sewn something on wrong and had to rip it out, sounds like you caught it at a good time.
