I finished piecing Ashcombe #2 then I quilted it up and got it bound. That is the 9.5 yds that went out. WooHoo. I purchased 4 yds of Kona cotton so I can make the last two Ashcombes. I really need to remember NOT to do 4 quilts of the same pattern. At least the next two are from a different fabric collection. I am looking forward to sewing with something new. It will be pink still, just a darker shade of pink.
Here are the twin quilts. Just to show that there really are two of them.
After finishing the quilt I decided it was time to focus on my basket quilt top. I put in some serious time doing machine applique then I ran into some trouble. Remember all the yards and yards of bias vines I made? Apparently I really underestimated how much was needed. When I pulled out the remnant of the light green there was only a small amount left. I went back to the shop where I had purchased it and it was all gone. They couldn't even remember what line it was from. I went to 5 shops on one day and then spent an hour or so looking on line but could not find it. Yesterday I decided that since this is not a show quilt I would just find something that was similar. After searching in 3 more shops I found something that I think will work so I bought 1 yard of that. Tomorrow I will sew up yards and yards of 1/8" bias then get back to appliqueing. One of these days I will be able to get this top finished.
That about sums up my week. I had fabric come in but I had more go out. Everything I bought was bought with a project in mind. I have a quilt for hire on the machine and I need to put time in on that. I am not sure how much sewing I will get done this week. Can you believe this is the last week of February? I can't.
Hope you have a great week QFF*!

Your Ashcombe quilts are wonderful...I am wanting the pattern even more now that I see yours finished.
ReplyDeleteLove the pink quilts. I don't think I could do quilts from the exact same pattern back to back (I'm not sure I could make two quilts the same ever to be honest).
ReplyDeletelovely quilts. the pinks and greens look great together. liz
ReplyDeleteYour basket quilt is gorgeous! I love pinks and greens together too.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilts! They look great.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the applique quilt all done. It is beautiful already.
Adorable twin quilts! Great stash report
ReplyDeleteI read about all your circles to be made. I need a good way to store up MY circles. I read where someone kept all their prepped pieces for a block in a empty egg carton. Bias vines take up lots of fabric, I'm always surprised when I need some. And narrow bits--no one will know or care it's not the *same* green!
