Work In Progress Wednesday

It has been a little crazy over here with Thanksgiving and the requisite sick kids that go with any holiday, but I was able to sneak downstairs and get some sewing done over the last two weeks.

1. Potholders - Three tops finished, one quilted and bound and the binding pressed for the other two. I need to get some more batting.


2. My brother's quilt - I finished the front and the back!!!! I love making those wonky square-in-a-square blocks. The front is all blue with a stripe of blocks 2/3's of the way down. The back is pieced with 20-ish inch stripes of varied blues and thin stripes of white. Now I just have to baste and quilt this monster. I haven't quilted a twin sized quilt in 7 years - augh!


Finished:
1. Bee blocks



No work on:
1. Tree quilt - although I did decide to just put a bit more white around the edge and bought some brown for the binding.
2. Throw pillows

Head on over to Freshly Pieced to see what other people are working on!

I just love your square-in-a-square boxes. They're just the right amount of wonky! Happy WiP Wednesday!

LOVE that quilt for your brother. It is so much a GUY's quilt - and that is hard to come by. I'm meaning to make my brother one too - thanks for a great idea!

I'm doing potholders as gifts this year as well. Hopefully starting on them this week.

Thanks for linking up with WIP Wednesday!
