Work in Progress Wednesday!

I signed up for the Modern Scrappy Bits Swap Round 4.  I have been in on this swap since the beginning and have had really awesome swap partners, I have to say.  This time I made coasters.  I made some little slab blocks from scraps of blue and green, added some linen scraps to the back and got seriously quilty.  Each coaster is quilted differently because I didn't want to be bored! Then I bound them in linen... oh, and I used this fusible stuff for the batting, 2 layers of it. The lady at the fabric store told me that it is used for things like place mats so with the 2 layers, the coasters are satisfyingly stiff.    Of course, this made binding the little suckers a bit of a challenge.  Erg, poked fingers!  So this one is off work in progress list!

 Road to fortune blocks are growing as are my Lucky Stars BOM blocks.  The black and white tv quilt made with the help of my bee mates at That Stash Bee is stalled because I have not decided how big to make it.  I am part way through making a dress.  EEP!  Yep.  For me.  More EEP!  I have not made myself a dress for decades.  I am using some seriously fuschia fabric that Mum got somewhere as the "muslin" so to speak.  It will end up as a wearable dress but the colour is so vibrant that this one may not get a lot of wear but I wanted a test run.  So far so good.

That is where I am at.  Slowly moving into summer and holidays.  Nice.  Linking up with the Needle and Thread Network and Lee at Freshly Pieced  for Work in Progress Wednesday.
