To-Do Tuesday Edition #3

We had a productive week – did you?  Well, it seemed productive although nothing is completely off the list.  Here is last week’s list along with this week’s Tuesday To-Do list:

To-Do Tuesday from April 25th:

1. Continue sewing strips together for blue/gray quilt
2. Continue sewing strips together for 16-patch blocks
3. Add sashing to ABC blocks

To-Do Tuesday for May 2nd:

1. Continue work on blue/gray queen-size quilt
2. Start quilting 16-patch baby quilt
3. Add sashing to ABC blocks

#1

Our new list is still much shorter than our first edition of to-do Tuesday.  The blue/gray quilt is another queen size quilt and we have a few blocks made. Our fabrics are from Moda Fabrics called Ombre Graphite and Shirbori,  and the pattern is called Jimmy John (more info in this article as well as a link to the pattern).  Our header picture shows four blocks together – some of the fabrics look tie dyed don’t they?!  Here is a shot of four strips being ironed before adding the gray strip.  I love the ones that look zebra stripe-ish:

All the blocks are finished for the 16-patch and framed 4-patch quilt and all rows together are together too!  I’m starting to think about how to quilt it.  I really think I am going to try the spiral quilting on this quilt instead of the Finding Nemo quilt (discussed here).  I have a template that I would like to use in the border of the FM quilt and think the spiral might be nice on this 16-patch quilt.  What do you think?  Here are a few pictures of this baby quilt so far:

And a few close ups of the blocks:

It sure is bright and colorful!

Hanging my head . .  I still haven’t started adding the sashing to each letter.  It is “hanging” out on the project wall along with the second set of letters, waiting not-so-patiently for their turn to be worked on.  I would remove them from the list, but I don’t want them to be off my radar and I do want to get them finished.

I’ll give you an update on these projects next Tuesday, May 9th.  I’m linking up with To-Do- Tuesdays, Linky Tuesday, WOW Wednesdays, and Finished or Not Friday.
