Quilt Top Progress

 
Here is a preview of my lap quilt top.
It's amazing how quickly this has all
come together for me.
But it is a very simple pattern after all.
If you are a seasoned quilter hide your eyes!
Yes, I can now see a wee bit of crookedness
in my squares here.
Since this is being made for my own
personal use, I can live with a little bit of wonky.
**********************************************************
There was so much snow here last night that
the road out was closed today. Unless the
owner comes to plow we won't be going
anywhere today either.
Tim and I are planning to travel back home
tomorrow or Sunday so I sure hope they
get the roads open soon.
Have a great weekend friends!
Kimberly

  1. I think it's turning out well! Nobody will see any crooked parts while it's on your lap being snuggled under!

  2. Very pretty! I see that you changed it up quite a bit from your inspiration quilt with the extra strips of white. Speaking of strips of white, hope that the snow there melts soon!

  3. Kimberly,

    Beautiful personal quilt.

    Stay warm and be safe when driving home with all that snow on the ground.

  4. I have never heard the word "wonky" before. Just might have to use it once in awhile. Funny little word.

    Praying that you get home safely.

  5. it was a wild storm last night up your way wasn't it, I hope it clears for you, The Amish always have an imperfection in their quilts because nothing but God is perfect they say,

  10. Wow, when you say you are going to make a quilt you get on it. I can see the vintage sheets being used. Love it:)

  11. Lovely quilt, and roads closed means extra sewing time. The Lodge owner has had a good time away, hope he/they enjoyed some warmer days. Drive safely, cheers from Jean. Wonky is ideal in the eyes of anyone who quilts, perfection is reserved for competitions!!!

  13. Hi Kimberly,

    So nice to meet a fellow Canuck!

    Have been taking a little tour around your lovely blog and am enjoying your recent posts; what a variety! Your quilt is very quaint and your table setting for your party very pretty! I can so relate re: your husband helping you out with the cooking for two reasons: one, mine is a great cook, too, and two, you're doing exactly what I do when he's slaving over a hot stove: let's call it 'crucial correspondence'!

    Have a great weekend,

    Poppy :)

  19. Your quilt is beautiful! I didn't see any crooked seams.
    Your area is really getting the snow! We didn't get any out of that system that hit you and Dryden and Thunder Bay. My husband had the day off so he did not get caught in it. I hope it goes away quickly.
    Hugs, cindy
