WIP Wednesday

Hi.  I'm still here!  It's been very busy around here, but I have been making stuff!  I realize now that I never posted the top I made (my first garment, woo!), so I will be sure to do that.  I entered it in Made By Rae's spring top contest, but I don't have high hopes.  I am so not a garment sewer!
I've actually been working quite a lot on my husband's quilt.  All of the blocks are finally finished, and I started putting it together over the weekend.
This is what it's looking like so far.  I think I like it, even though it still looks sooooo 80's to me.  My husband likes it though, which is all that matters.  It is going to be a BIG quilt, and I am kind of getting nervous about quilting it on my inferior machine.  So much so, that I am considering pricing out new ones.  Eeek!
In other news, I FINALLY got my order of Kona solids to start my bottled rainbows quilt!  I placed my order two months ago, and have been really super annoyed with how the backorder was handled, but whatever.  Now I can make that delicious quilt!
I'm linking up with Lee today at Freshly Pieced.  Go check out what everyone else has going on this Wednesday!

  1. I love your quilt, Jenny. What a great pattern. I'm also thinking of doing a Bottled Rainbow quilt, but haven't bought any of the material. Good luck!

  7. I really like the quilt. It does not look like 80's to me. And if hubby likes it that is all that counts. I had a backorder for some fabric and couldn't get it and then they finally, after 3 months of waiting, told me they could not get it any more so I guess you were lucky there.

  8. Wow, thanks for all of your kind comments! The pattern is "Raspberry Dessert" by Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts. It is in the May/June edition of Quiltmaker magazine (which I bought from Julie though her shop). Here's a link to her blog where she reveals hers:
