I had a very nice weekend working on the quilting of Three Flocks. This is the largest quilt that I have quilted on my home machine to date at 65" wide by 88" long, and so far it has been going just fine. It took me an hour to pin baste the layers in preparation for quilting. I love...

I don't know why it took me so long to finish the backing for my Three Flocks quilt top. I suppose other projects just came up and I kept working on them instead of this backing. Regardless, once I really sat down to work on it, it came together pretty quickly. First I had to finish piecing all the HSTs...

I have accomplished a few things recently that I haven't blogged about, so I thought I would just put some odds and ends together today along with my current WiP. While this is the last thing I finished recently (umm, this morning), it is the project I am the most giddy about. My niece is going to turn 1 year old...

On Thursday I was able to sneak in an hour of work on the backing for my Three Flocks quilt top. I am taking the HSTs remaining from the flying geese block construction and putting them together as a stripe to make the center piece for the backing. I have completed sewing together 5 rows (out of 14) of these 4.5″ blocks (they will finish at 4″ square).

I am super pleased with how my twin sized (65" wide by 88" long) Three Flocks (by Brigit Gail) quilt top has finished out! You can read more about the quilt top in my original Three Flocks {WiP} post from last week. Today, I am just going to let you scroll through my set of photos from the quilt piecing process....

Just as I was finishing up Orange Crush at the beginning of the week, I started wondering what I would be working on next. Usually I have a plan, or some kind of inspiration, or a commission, or *some* seed of an idea about what project I want to work on next, but even with some fabric bundles bought...
