DWM, and Wow!

As in wow it has been a long time since I posted! Gosh where is this year going? Well, I am making some progress, but it seems very slow. I finished my Carol Doak BOM and love it, although if I had to do it over, I might have chosen a much less busy background fabric. But here it is and the backing is made, just waiting to finish some other things befor it goes on the frame....might be awhile!

 Below is my current DWM project. This is from Bonnie Hunter's book-Adventures with Leaders and Enders. Since mid-year last year, this has been my L&E project. Early this year the blocks graduated to being a full-fledged project, and I finished them yesterday. I laid out the blocks and sashing, chose border fabrics, and now am putting the center together today. I still have about 300 border units to put together, so part of this project will still be an L&E for awhile. I love making quilts this way! It's amazing what can be done just a few pieces at a time.


So that's my current project...or one of them! I have a couple others, and have more to start, but this is my focus for today!

God bless

Mary, it's nice to find your blog (again) and see what you've been working on. Several years ago you posted a picture of a scrappy project with stars and squares. I printed it out and have it filed in that box of inspiration. That's the joy of quilting--there's always another project in the wings!
