WIP Wednesday - June 4th Edition

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

Happy WIP Wednesday! Today my girls and I are off to our local food bank to volunteer. They need people in their warehouse to help sort and box up donations and I think this is a great way for my girls to spend a bit of their summer, helping out when we can! For now, on to the fabric...

I am taking part in the Skill Builder BOM club, with Pile o Fabric, and here is my progress thus far, I need to quilt them as it is a QAYG and also I need to catch up, I think I am two blocks behind.


1. Skill Builder 1&2 ready to go, 2. Skill Builder BOM, block 3, 3. Skill Builder, BOM block 4, 4. Skill Builder, BOM block 5, 5. Skill Builder, BOM block 6, 6. Skill Builder BOM, block 7, 7. Skill Builder BOM, block 8 -replacement

 Also this is under way... my first ever Dresden.... I am loving it so far! I kinda feel like I want to Dresdenize everything now! lol


I also have :

UFOs: a lap quilt, a toddler quilt, and an ugly table runner lol

finished this week: zip, zilch, zero! Wish me luck for next week!

This is my favorite post every week so I really look forward to checking out whatever others are working on and getting some inspiration! Thanks for stopping by, and if you take the time to comment, ty so much, it makes my day! Have a wonderful Wednesday!

    Loving your skill builder blocks, the colours are so striking! Especially the hexagons, I love hexie quilts but never have the patience to get more than a few blocks pieced!

      thanks, Becky... I am pretty sure I won't be doing any more hexies lol. That is just so not for me, and I did it the fast way by machine joining them with clear thread even lol

    I love your skillbuilder blocks! Fabulous color choices. Your Dresden plate is so calming while your skillbuilder is very dramatic! You must have an impressive fabric collection! Lori Kennedy@The Inbox Jaunt

    First of all I just love this blog's title. LOL! It's got to be one of the best out there.

    Your Dresden is amazing! : )

    Then the first project is very interesting...I love the color combo and I am wondering about the QAYG ...how to do that exactly ....

      I am so glad you like it, I was really surprised at how easy it was. It was also the first template I have ever worked with! lol. Thank goodness I picked an easy one! There is another project I just started with another Dresden...not sure what the heck I am going to do with all this stuff, I guess I need to meet more friends to give stuff too lol

    Great Dresden! It looks like it's a double layer? I have not seen that before. Beautiful colors for it. The skill builder blocks are all looking good too. Looks like you're learning a lot!
