Work in Progress Wednesday...


1)  I have been making great progress despite my quilting war wound (a.k.a.  Rotary cut finger).  Luckily I had finished quilting my gemstones quilt before the injury happened!!!!!  I had the binding all sewn on too with only the hand sewing to finish.     This one is almost ready for the big reveal!  So exciting!!!!



2) and 3)   I started turning this mess of fabric into strips and then...


 The strips into these...


Love these wonky-ish blocks.  We have friends of the family who are expecting the arrival of twin boys any second.  So 2 baby boy quilts are a must!  I have cranked out 5 or 6 of these blocks today even with the cartoon-like bandage on my finger.  Seriously, if Mickey Mouse was injured this is exactly the kind of bandage he would have!

Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for WiP Wednesday!

    I hope your finger is heeling fast. Rotary cutters are a dangerous tool. Love your blocks, nice bright Summer colors. Well done!

    I hope your finger is feeling better! I manage to injure myself with that thing all the time, of course I managed to injure myself has a graphic designer too. Those blocks look awesome, I love the fun bright colors! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday!

    yikes - yeah, those rotaries are MURDEROUS. I had to get 8 stitches in my finger and barely missed severing the tendon on Veteran's Day of 2010. My hubby is a military doc, and sweetly took me in to fix it on his first day off in ages. To this day, if I start cutting something when he's home, he grins and says "Are you gonna steal my day off again?" heh.

    I just LOVE that binding you cut for the quilt! Stripes are awesome bindings.
