44"x 12.5" Wonky Squares in Purple runner hand quilted, binding in progress.

 

Binding has been machine sewn onto the front and I'll hand sew it down on the back.

My Sashiko/Boro bookbag is finished! Approx. 16" x 15".

Finally #4 in my Liberated Small Quilt Series has its final border sewn on.

Hello Quilt Friends from the valley where glorious fall colors are showing up everywhere!

This last week I finished hand quilting my Wonky Squares in Purple Quilt runner and sewed the binding on the front and started hand sewing it down onto the back. It measures about 44" x 12.5". I was inspired to make Wonky Squares in Purple by Debbie @ aquilterstable when she posted about one of her Bee Sewcial challenges called Albersesque. The challenge called for designing quilt blocks with the artwork of Josef Albers in mind.

My Sashiko/Boro bookbag also got finished up and it's just perfect for transporting books to and from the library, very useful. I used some trimmed scrap corners from one of my quilt projects, they were too colorful to just throw out, and I boro/sashiko stitched them down on the front. The back is just as beautiful with a pocket done in rice stitch. The pattern is from one of my many Sashiko project books.

#4 in My Liberated Small Quilt Series has its final border pieced on. I think fall colors have influenced my color choices because I see a lot of orange, yellow and green in that quilt.

And that is the quilt news from the compound.

I hope you're breathing in the fresh fall air and enjoying the color like I am.

I'll be by to visit!
