1st Block

My first block for the Single Girl quilt is done!  There are a few "minor" areas that I'm going to try to correct, I think the curves make it tough to square each block, so when I put the 4 quarters together, they were a little bit off.


I have the the rest of arcs pieced for the first quarter ring, I've been chain piecing them and it's going quickly so far.  I still have to cut the rest of the background, not my favorite part I'd say....


Got to keep going, so I can keep up with the group!

Single Girl Quilt~ and so it begins!

Here is one-quarter of one circle.  Still needs pressing, and being attached to a background. Speaking of background, I've changed my mind on this too many times.  I settled on a parchment color, not too white, not too yellow.  I was really hoping for a pale grey, but my search found me empty handed....  The dream on fabrics are pretty sweet, they have all of the vintage goodness and Spring-ness that I'm longing for!

Single Girl Quilt

Even though I have too many projects to count, I'm starting another!   Why not?  Right?  There is a Single Girl Quilt Support Group over on Flickr.  I have wanted to make this quilt for a while, but there was something slightly intimidating about it.  How perfect that this is happening to motivate and support peeps like me!  I'm hoping it keeps me on track too!  It starts next Monday, so there's still time to join in on the fun!

Wonky quilt top

 I finally got a sunny day to take a picture of the wonky quilt top!  Yesterday was a nice day too, but there was some melting going on, and I didn't want it to get soaked.  LOL!   I am working on piecing a strip for the back, and maybe soon I'll have a full fledged quilt to keep me warm for the rest of winter.
