My pile of client quits has grown dramatically in the last few weeks. Everyone has been sewing, and now some are venturing out to drop off finished tops. I haven't been finishing any of my own tops, but I do like to spend a little time piecing when taking a break from my longarm.
I continue to play with wonky trees and National Park panels. These pillow panels are smaller (about 17" x 20") than those I was using a few weeks ago, as are my wonky trees - just 3.5" x 4.5" finished. I cleaned out a small box of yellow, brown and green scraps to piece the piano key border. The top finishes at 42" x 49", a good size for a kid donation quilt.
This
fun "Twirla" tutorial for pinwheel-like blocks inspired me to pull out an odd cut of Peter Rabbit fabric (the previous quilter had cut odd shapes and strips out of the fabric before donating it to the guild). I found a number of bright blender fabrics that pick up the colors in the Peter Rabbit print, and will make 12 blocks for a cute donation quilt. I might sash the blocks with the rabbit print, or perhaps not. I'll see what all 12 blocks look like together.
