Gray Polka-Dots – Ombre – Eight Rows

Hand/Machine Quilted Gray Polka-Dot Baby Quilt

Gray Stars

We’re expecting a baby soon.  Well, not us ~giggle~ . . . but Sue’s niece is due in September.  Her color scheme for the baby’s room is gray and white,  and one wall has polka-dots.  Unwittingly, we started on a gray and white baby quilt which will now obviously be for the baby.  ~smile~  You can see above that Sue is hand quilting some of the blocks with a star motif.  Stars on white-on-white starred fabric.  For our little star-to-be!

 

Eight Rows

8-rows

This is what eight rows of quilt blocks look like, waiting to be sewn together.  Yup, that’s 56 blocks – seven blocks in eight rows.  Once we get them all sewn together we’ll decide whether we need to add a border or not.  Then it’s out for long-arm quilting!  Woot woot.

 

Gray Ombre Strips Cut

Blue-Gray Ombre

Sue started cutting the strips from the gray ombre fabric for the blue/gray queen size quilt.  We are trying a different, new for us pattern called Jimmy John.  The blue strips were already cut – they are from a jelly roll.  So small progress is being made, even on items that are not on my to-do Tuesday list!  ~smile~
