Welcome! It's time for another Virtual Quilting Weekend I hope you can join us as we share what we're working on this weekend and encourage each other over. Don't be surprised if you pick up a few ideas for future projects when you see what others are quilting. And for those who are cleaning/organizing their rooms (or shopping those sales this weekend!) yes that counts too! Don't forget to share pictures of your progress.

This weekend I will be working on blocks for various BOMs I'm in. I would like to catch up!

Next VQW will be August 5-7.

Happy Canada Day and Happy Fourth of July!

I have cut the strips and now I am sewing a black set strip to a white set strip, then sewing them together and finally cutting out the blocks using the Cozy Quilt Tube triangle ruler. Here is the pattern I am using:

I did not know what the cut tube ruler was. Here is a you tube:

I hope to make great inroads in my second Maaike Bakker's Optical Illusion. The first (for DD and SIL) ended up being too big for their bed and I refused to cut it down. I just narrowed all the strips by 1/4 inch to get the size I need, while preserving the look of the original. I love this pattern because it goes together so well.

It is very dull and much cooler here this morning. Come on rain!! We need it desperately!

I am working on a quilt with half seams. I hope to finish it this weekend. The 7nth I take my first Long Arm lesson at a LQS. Getting excited. Need to get my backing ready for that too. Busy weekend.

I'm doing a modern quilt that has variations on 4 patch and disappearing 4 patch blocks and rectangles floating on a solid background. Figuring out how to do the solids now since I'm setting the rectangles at an angle off the corners of the center disappearing 4 patch.

Thanks for the info on tube quilting and the tube ruler--looks like a lot of fun.

Woohoo, long weekend and lots of quilting! Hopefully I can get organized/motivated to get back into my sewing room this weekend. I've been overloaded with customer quilts, and been a bit (a lot) absent from my own quilting and blogging for a couple of months. Not sure what I'm going to work on. One customer quilt to finish up first.

I'm joining in today to finish my AR Crossroad king size quilt. Just need to sew together the 20 extra blocks (already maid), and borders. I can sew most of today and then I work the weekend. I'm off on Monday - Wednesday and will continue my sewing then. I need to package 4 BD candy squares to mail out today. Then I need to make a 12 1/2' block for a swap. I will show pics when I get these done. If I have time, I plan to start my 2 1/2" log cabin. My summertime challenge project. The directions are on the tutor section on the Board here. It's a great way to use up some of my 2 1/2" candy squares. And If I really have time I plan to set up a quilt on my quilting machine.

Off to get some of my projects done. Happy sewing everyone.
