Mid-month UFO update

So far, I have finished one of 4 UFOs, and worked on one current project. I also made something new from start to finish!

Finished:

Dragonfly Table Runner

 A rare moment of winter sunshine washed all the colour out, so back inside I went!

 I used a new-to-me fibre to create the wings - it's called Angelina and you use an iron to fuse the fibres together (between sheets of parchment paper).  I purchased it in Calgary last year, but have found it locally at A Great Notion in Abbotsford.  A bag was $5.99 (it looks like it's on sale for $2.99 right now), and after I made the wings, it doesn't even look like I used any - a little goes a long way! The colour I used was Gold Iris - gold with a hint of purple shimmer.

Chair Cushion for Zoey

Using scraps and a bit of Liberated piecing, I made a small cushion for her rocking chair.  Her rocking chair has solid sides and back, so I only put a ruffle on the front.  The challenge was how to keep it on the seat.  I've decided to use velcro rather than ties, and will apply soft side of self-stick velcro to the seat itself.  I've already applied the hook part to the back of the cushion before I sewed it together.  PS: It is actually square, just puffy so it looks funny right now.

Working on:

Easy Street (upgraded to King Size)

Corner Triangles - 4 - finished

Setting Triangles -  7 of 16 - finished (six shown)

Block A - 2 of 25 - finished

Block B - 1 of 16 - finished

In between assembling triangles and blocks, I am working on making the extra parts I need for a king size version as leaders and enders.

Still to do:

Gramma Quilt

Pure Happy Quilt

Just Takes Two Pillow Cover

I think I'm still on target, as long as I get my rear-end off the couch in the evenings!

And thank you for all the lovely comments in my previous post - I haven't been good at responding lately, but I will try to do better!

Liberated piecing

I've seen some interesting blogs about "not following the rules" so I thought I would try it.  I picked up a bag of scraps for $1 at a quilt shop in Sumas, WA which had some interesting little bits in it.  The centre of this block is one of them.

I then pulled pieces from my bin of strings and sewed a wonky log cabin.  It measures 6 1/2" square.  I think I still need to work on "drawing" outside the lines as it's still pretty structured in my opinion, but I like it.

Here are a few places where I was inspired:
