I’m so close to finishing Miss Hitchens’ Whimsy … I can hardly believe it.
I’ve calculated just four evenings of stitching will complete the remaining two small corner blocks.
(once I have prepared them of course)
Miss Hitchens’ Whimsy corner block…two down, two to go.
And then I just need a few hours to assemble because all the border strips are sewn…

…and the centre is done.
Centre block…FULL of Broderie Perse.
It is such a *good* feeling.
So that is the first of the three quilts that are in the *Priority Pile*.
The second is the 1800s Sunburst Quilt…maybe progress is too specific a word for this. Chugging, nay Plodding along might be more apt but I am getting there and I periodically have another finished block to admire.

I still get a thrill out of finishing one and deciding “which one next?” At the moment I seem to be drawn to these Vermiculate style patterns.
More blocks.
Once MHW is finished I’ll be able to get a bit more gung ho with these blocks.
And I’ve decided to use these Leaf Templates from Made Studio for the elipse corner applique…I’ve used these before and really like the accuracy and speed of these ready made templates.

The third is my OMG Ombre (that’s the working title lol)
With the arrival of more of the fabrics I wanted I can get cracking on this (yay)
Prussian Blue Ombre by Pam Weeks and Eccentric print by Lisa DeBee Schiller.
I’m itching to start sewing again on this… But first I’m going to prepare those last two MHW blocks…today.
I hope you are enjoying your UFO’s too.
thanks for visiting
til next
