Design Wall Monday

This is the same thing that has been on my design wall for a week now. I'll add the borders after I finish quilting a few quilts. This is my I wanna Be Like Ronda quilt!

Sewing on IWBLR quilt Aug 7, 2009

Well I just spent a couple frustrating days looking for work and there just isn't anything out there. Very few postings that I qualify for AND would maybe be able to do and/or like it. I am looking at clerical positions now because my computer skills and my personality are all I have going for me. Of course everyone wants a person with 5 years experiance and a degree.....to answer a phone and file papers? HELLO! I'm not knocking those who work in an office...I know there is a lot more to it than than but come on...it's not rocket science (or robot programming...I know how to do that, LOL). Anyway, I'm gonna work on my quilt now. I have all my strips cut out and ready to go. I WAS going to just cut half of them out and sew them and get some laid out quicker buit I am so anal about how I do things....I always do all the cutting and assembly line sew. Sometimes you just can't (or don't want to) change your ways.

1PM and ready to assembly line sew the rest of the blocks.Here is the layout of squares how Ronda thought I should lay theym out with more of the white and black. I don't know...I like more of the green I think. We will see...............

Personal Quiltathon 8am July 25, 2009

So my IWBLR quilt piecing is finally at a stage where I will see some progress now. The first stages where you are prepping, cutting and making small units like QST, HST and strip piecing seems to go on forever....then all of a sudden it is done. LOL

In my last post my friend Linda asked a few questions and here is the answer.

IWBLR= I wanna be like Ronda (K. Beyer)

She is the one who made this same quilt first and after I drooled all over it, she sent me everything to make one for myself, the pattern, the fabrics (same ones she used) and even the papers to make the QST. I am so lucky! It is not a rag quilt. It is a star pieced quilt and the white is just one of the fabrics in the design. You'll see!

IWBLR Progress July 20

Ok, this is the part of a quilt piecing that it seems like you don't have much done when in fact you already have been working for several hours, pressing, cutting, piecing, trimming and pressing. Here is a small picture of progress.
