I got quite a bit done this weekend. My daughter came with three kids in tow. We sewed together, and I enjoyed the grands.
My Masterpiece top is done complete with border. The backing is pieced as well and ready for quilting. The binding is cut but not sewn yet. It measures 91 x 107. It is massive!!
I also made this little Santa block.
My daughter worked on her princess quilt and has begun putting the castle together. She added a princess (princess and the frog). I am waiting to see how hers turns out - fitting it into the castle - with the extra one before I decide to make her or not. She looks gorgeous though! I have never seen that one, so I am not so attached.
Here is a look at her blocks side by side with the ones I have made. I still need to do embroidery work on all of mine.
Here is my daughter's quilt laid out with some of her castle started.
Here are my blocks in the windows on her castle.
To Do Tuesday - very very late To Do Tuesday I might add. I had my goals written down but never got a post done. It was a super busy week with parent/teacher conferences, nails, and meetings.
Last week's goals:
- Make a Santa Block
- Lose 1 lb.
- Plan fabric for princess blocks
- Plan fabric for nutcracker block

Masterpiece is definitely a masterpiece and I love all those princess'. When do you get time to do all the stitching you do??
ReplyDeleteThose Princess blocks are really amazing! Both of you have done really well with those. And congrats on all the progress with the Masterpiece top, it is stunning!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, your Masterpiece quilt is AMAZING!! And the princess blocks are adorable. you are so lucky to have family to sew with you. Funny story, years ago when the internet first came online I wanted to make a Snow White quilt and was searching for coloring pages online. Even in the late 90's the things that google presented to me when searching snow white and 7 drawfs was jaw dropping. Unfortunately, my husband walked in about the same time I clicked on a link that wasn't what it was supposed to be and porn pages kept popping up, one after the other, there had to be 100's of them. He still teases me about that. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is going to be a couple of beautiful Princess Quilts! Great work and amazing that there are patterns for them. Bravo! Bravo! to you AND your daughter!
ReplyDeleteIs your Masterpiece quilt pattern available for purchase? I would love to purchase that and the pastel windmill quilt pattern you had earlier in your blog if I can find the patterns. I just discovered your blog and have enjoyed going through your posts. What an inspiration!
