Tolva quilt:: basted
I just realized I did not take a picture of the finished top. This is as close as I got when I took this picture. Close enough. And today I basted it. And started quilting. I am doing free motion, just your basic random swirls. I am quilting it quite dense, because I think this [...]
Tolva quilt:: final layout
Just briefly… I finished the last four hexagons today. And then I worked, and worked, and worked… on the layout. After a few iterations, here is the final layout: I probably should have taken one in focus. Oh, well…
Tolva quilt
I have been thinking about Half Rectangle Traingles ever since I saw this post by asquaredw. More specifically I have been thinking about the little kites she created by mistake. But I liked them and kept thinking how I can use them. Then just before the holidays I got to try my idea and I [...]
ree finished
I just realized that I never wrote about this quilt. I took this picture and posted it on flickr when I finished the top, but it never made it here: Ree was never really planned. It just sort of happened one day when I was trying (unsuccessfully) to sort my thrifted sheet stash. These particular [...]

I did however photograph the other two quilts that I finished in September! but that will wait for the next post… So this one… made entirely from vintage sheets. Well, almost entirely. [...]
New quilt is coming along
Squares have been trimmed: And arranged one way: And then another: Trimming wasn’t planned, but a few squares turned out smaller than the others. Reason? Well, this quilt is made of all repurposed vintage linens which are almost always a blend. In my experience, they do not always like ironing. I do have my iron [...]
New pillow…
It has been sitting on my desk waiting… first for backing (I ended piecing some leftovers because I was lazy to go shopping for more fabrics)… then for a pillow insert (it measures just a bit bigger than another pillow I made but the insert was just too small; couldn’t figure that one out). Finally… [...]
