My WIPs this week

I've started working on the back to my Sugar Pop quilt. The alternating trees are going to make a strip across the back. I love those little trees.

And here's a glimpse at a quilt I've been working on for a sample for work. I used a scrap pack that I purchased from Sandi Henderson. More details to come on this one.

Quilt Backs

I love making interesting quilt backs. I think I'm more creative with them. Here's a shot of one I'm working on for the green and aqua quilt top. Hopefully later in the week I can get it pin basted and start quilting.

Frustration

I was quilting on Sunday, moving along pretty good. Then my bobbin ran out, I turned the quilt over and found that I had a huge pucker. I ripped for over an hour. I haven't been back to the quilting since Sunday. Maybe later today I'll start again.

Basting My Quilt

I started basting my quilt earlier in the week. Here's the shot of the back being pinned to the batting. Then I flip it and pin the top to the batting and back. I found this method works better than trying to pin all 3 at once.

And here was my setback earlier in the week. While I was on the phone Troy decide to "go sew". He found the scissors and cut up one of my back blocks. He sat in time out for awhile. I've also put the gate up going into the Rose Room for now to try and prevent this behavior.
