No Cure for the Summertime Blues

Well, in between trying to scan my entire sheet collection for updated shop listings, get my UFOs rounded up for my upcoming challenge, laundry, and just wanting to sit and vegetate, I finally managed to finish this quilt!
It probably would have been done a couple of days ago, except I decided I wanted my binding thread to match the binding and wanted to wait for the Memorial Day sale at Joann's before I went and purchased the thread.
No worries, it is down now, and I really like it. I'll be putting it into my Etsy shop, so hopefully it will find a nice home.
It finishes out at 55" x 60", a nice lap or throw size. Something to put on the lawn during outdoor Summer concerts, perhaps?
The backing is made up of 12" squares of several of the fabrics that are on the front. It's been quilted with some straight lines outside some of the seams, but not all of them.

In other news, if you're into vintage sheets as fabric, I've added a couple of bundle deals to the shop. Pick 5 or pick 10 for the special price of only $1 per fat quarter.
I'm currently in the process of updating my pictures with scanned swatches to better show the color. I'm also adding many prints that I've had around, but have escaped being listed.
I'm also open to trading fabrics, so drop me a line if you want to perhaps swap some stash!

WIP Wednesday

The squares Denyse Schmidt squares I showed in my last WIP post have become this quilt top, which I am calling Summertime Blues. I did add a few spots of tomato red to the mix to break up all the blues and a few Dear Stella stripes in shades of blue and grey. I've been working on a pieced backing for this quilt and should have it all sandwiched up in the next day or two.

I also managed to finish 6 more of my Sophie blocks from the vintage sheet fat quarters. Well, not completely finish, I have to put the applique circles in the middle, but that will be my final step once all 30 blocks are all sewn up.

I did start work on a Zakka pencil case, but I did not take a picture of it. Other than that, I haven't worked on any of my previously mention WIP projects. I'm off until Tuesday, so hopefully I'll get a bunch of things completed. If all goes well, I hope to be announcing a little challenge next Wednesday, so stay tuned!
