New Projects!

I can't believe I haven't blogged since last November!  Well, here's a quick, ongoing project that I had fun starting at Loretta Orsborn's Bargello quilt class that started last Saturday.  I've tried to attach a downloaded photo of Loretta's quilt. It may our may not show up at the end.

It is simple amazing!  I hope my feeble attempts turn out even close to the movement in hers.

This is my main stripset

So tonight I'm sewing strip sets together.  I finished one as a sample but I need 12. So back to the machine!

The turtle pattern

Wow, are there a lot of pieces to this Turtle!  We got them all cut out, they are sewn together and now just waiting to be put together.  
Mom had to leave (:-(  but I got the 2 last pieces sandwiched together.  She will return next month and we will get the puzzle put together.
It's kind of cool how this goes together.  
Each piece has 2 pieces of flannel and 1 matching piece of batting.  They are then sewn together as a sandwich, right sides out, batting in the middle.  Then, as you can see on the head, each piece is simple machine quilted to make a pattern for the final quilt.  Very easy and fun!

More to come when assembled ...
