Design Wall Monday June 8, 2009
June 8th, 2009
Here’s my design wall as of today:
Not much changed from last week. I added a few smaller half square triangles. That’s exactly all the piecing I did this past week! A whole week of longarming and binding! Sad, huh?
What’s on your design wall? What changed from last week?
I hit refresh a half... 
Nothing! I just cleaned it off yesterday in preparation of putting a new layer of batting on it. Currently, it has a light gray felt cover and I find the blocks do not ’stick’ as I would like. So I am going to go to the store and buy a new batt for my wall. I was thinking Warm and Natural. Any recommendations?
I got a bit more done on the Butterfly Blooms, still have one more border to go, but thanks to you Judy, I got some done! Thanks for this idea.
I agree with Mary, maybe by posting weekly reports it will help keep me motivated to work on this project!
I got more blocks on my design wall since Saturday. I am on time this week!
Got my design wall up! I found some wonderful flannel at Mill End (our “left-overs” store), has nice body and good & clingy. Love it! Not sure Mr. Linky is working, so I thought I would post in the comments. Thank you, Judy, for all you do!
Still using the floor and an old tablecloth, but dug out a top (Butterfly Blooms too~ thanks Mary!) and plan to finish its borders soon.
Managed to make 3 more rolling star blocks and do a bit of binding, otherwise not much change.
I’ve posted a photo on my blog asking for help on this project. Any ideas?

My Pinwheels and Stars were moved over to the edge and then finally taken off earlier today — the string tumblers have taken over but I’m almost ready to start assembling that top — just 5 more string blocks to make first.
I actually have got some things done this week!

Thanks Judy, thanks everyone! I’m really glad so many have now got design walls. I wouldn’t have found some of my most recent mistakes – and fixed them in time – without one! Have a good week eating ground beef:)
Not a thing on the design wall. It’s all rolled up and begging for a new project but I haven’t started one yet. Thinking about doing a NY Beauty, though
I was gifted with 8 fq’s of Laurel Burch fabrics that would be oh so cool in a NY Beauty quilt !
Still the same quilt as 3 weeks ago…oops! I managed to bind 5 quilts yesterday, but no piecing…Maybe next week, this week is graduation and open house!
Our daughters wedding was Saturday so I did no sewing. I did play with the blocks and choose a setting for them. Choose favric for finishing the outer edge. This week I will be playing catch up so I don’t expect to stitch much again this week.
I’m working on a quilt from Country Garden by Kaffel Fassett. On my blog I have posted Stages 1 picking the fabrics and 2 designing the large block layout (on my “design wall” floor. Still cutting more fabrics for the sashing so more stages to come.
I’m a little late in posting my photo this week…but I finally got enough blocks to make it look like I was working hard!
