Design Wall Monday – August 23, 2010

August 23, 2010

Finally . . something to share on my design wall.  There will be more of these little 3″ blocks.  I’m hoping to finish this top today but .. I could be dreaming . . again!  Knowing I needed something to share kept me working hard to get these blocks done.

What’s on your design wall?  Please share a link.

Did you patch things up with Vince? Maybe he’s stressing about Chad going back to school and picking a fight is the way he shows it, lol. You know how men are…never willing to tell us what’s really going on!

This looks like something I usually make! Not like you to make so many tiny pieces….
Your DH needs more training – mine cooks when I am busy and never complains about left-overs.

I like those blocks! Now I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else has done.

I just wrote my 900th post. So I had to do a giveaway but I did a design wall too.

OMG Judy…we have the same blocks on our design walls today! Yours are likely part of larger complex blocks and are part of an amazing quilt design. Mine are just scrap leaders/enders.

Thanks for running this! I probably shouldn’t have contributed today, but I felt like everyone on here would appreciate the beauty of the gift my friends and family gave me this weekend (and the fact that it’ll be up on the wall soon enough!) so I couldn’t resist. Enjoy!

I am slowly adding blocks to my design wall. Working on the set-in triangles now.

I love DWM’s because I’m always focused on making sure I have something on the wall if I can. It’s been a real motivator for me :) Your nine patches look like wonderful fall colors…..I’m ready for a break in the weather.

Thank you for the DWM, I am new to this and am hoping it will get me to keep on top of my projects.

I am currently working on the same blocks, mine are going to be pink-gray and gray-pink. Not enough contrast I think, but it will get some unloved fabrics out of my stash and the sewing is nicely mindless (apart from having them mirror images).

Very cute and enticing blocks Judy! I wonder what they will be! I have alot on my post to share!

Yeah, I made it this week! After you go to my link, you’ll see why I missed last week. Mom came first.

No design wall post from me this week–still no design wall up and no floor space to even spread something out where there isn’t dog hair. Sheesh. Glad you have something to show! Vince may lose weight yet this year if he has to cook for himself a bit.

Not much piecing going on ..but quilting. I have 3 I need to do in the next week or so. I think then I will make myself a purse or something DIFFERENT! Love the 4 patches…

I need a Design Wall. I was just looking at a magazine and there was an aritcle about a Design Wall that can be kept hidden and pulled down when needed. It looked like a pull down shade in a valance. It was a bit expensive but would be easy enough to make. I might have to give it a try.

Missed a couple of weeks due to a vacation and other responsibilities. Does helping your daughter move count as a vacation if you have to get in a plane to get there and it involves 2 nights in a hotel? Of course, this was the kind of hotel stay where you collapse into bed from exhaustion from lifting boxes, fending off meter maids trying to give your U-Haul a ticket for blocking the sidewalk and fighting the insane traffic of L.A. . . *sigh*

I like your 3 inchers, Judy. Look forward to what they are going in. I like this idea of a design wall posting – makes me keep quilting. And I’ve seen some pretty neat postings and blogs because of it. Now if I could only figure out how to do the stash report–LOL.

I have a question about Design Wall Monday: If you still have the same quilt on your design wall as the previous Monday, and you’ve already posted about it, do you post again about it or ?? There’s no way I can finish this quilt by next Monday!

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this for me …
