I'm pretty happy with the progress I'm making on Smith Mountain Morning. After getting all the blocks sewn together, I found a ticking fabric in my stash for the inner border and got that attached yesterday. I was going to go the lazy route and just add another border, but I'm so far ahead schedule on my Star Challenge Quilt Along, that I decided to go ahead and take the time to make the pieced border that's part of the original pattern--lots of those star points to sew now!

I like how some of the snowball blocks in the first quilt picture stand out more than others. It draws my eyes around the quilt. I have never been very good at actually using swapped blocks. Used some but gave away many more.
ReplyDeleteIf this is any indication as to how your quilting year will go, you will be churning out the finishes!
ReplyDeleteI really love each of these three projects, but I believe the middle one calls my name the loudest. :)
So beautiful, Karen. Congratulations for accomplishing your January goal so soon. Enjoy the extra week. ;^)
ReplyDeleteYay! Well done on your January finish and accomplishing your goal.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully finished!! Love the darker snowballs dotted here and there..nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteAll three of these are such beautiful projects! Lovely work! I love the ticking fabric you found for your Smith Mountain Morning.
ReplyDeleteGood job on meeting your monthly goal, and other progress, Karen! I really like the straight line quilting on the signature quilt. I love that quilt and have made it myself - that is to say, I made several blocks and sewed it together. I look forward to seeing the Smith Mountain one finished, it will be stunning.
ReplyDeleteWhat a productive January. Smith Morning quilt is exciting with all those plaids. Fun! I need to get my quilting mojo put and moving!
ReplyDeleteVery busy! Being able to finish one for your goal and then add another one is a great bonus. Well don. They look great!
