WIP Wednesday {3.6.13}

After a pretty slackerish end to last week, I have picked it up and am working away at my marcelle medallion quilt. I seriously can't stop. So that is my main progress for the week, but at least I gave some thought to the other things I need to do. I figured if I have a plan and know what I am doing, it will go much quicker once I finally get around to doing it, right? Only in the past couple of days has it really dawned on me that in 2 weeks I will be just about to go to the Sew South retreat!!! I am so excited but there is much prep to be done.

marcelle medallion - once I figured out that first border, I started flying through it. I can't stop! I love seeing it come together and each round just adds so much! I am halfway through making the next round and then I have 2 or 3 more, I haven't decided whether I am putting the final border on, we'll see how I feel when I get there.



sample swap items for sew south - I picked out fabric for the 4 I need to make, so once the quilt top is done and I can focus on other things, I will get right to making these.



pony club quilt - no new blocks this week. One of these days I will just go play catch up. At least my quilt is adding lots of scraps to play with!
hexies - I haven't touched them.
honey cowl - neglected
lilly belle - the back is purchased! I still need batting though.


So the goal is to finish the medallion quilt top asap and start prepping for Sew South. I hope I am not in too much of a crunch to get it all done in time! By this time next week, I really hope to have a finished quilt top and 4 completed swap bags. I guess we'll see if I am being too ambitious haha. Hope everyone is having a good week!

    I love this medallion quilt. I have no time to start one, but I'd really like to! However, it is nice to see them pop up on my reader because then I get to drool! I love the fabrics you chose for yours!

    I am excited to meet you at Sew South! I know what you mean about crunch time to get everything together... I have been frantically sewing secret sister stuff, swap stuff, and the duffel bag! I love your medallion quilt. I am working myself towards starting one too... I just want to make everything.

    I've already said it, but I'll say it again: Love the medaillion.

    The fabric choices for the swap items are cool. I especially love the top left one. But I'm sure you knew I'd be drawn to it.

    Wishing you so much fun at the retreat!

    I can see how the medallion quilt is addictive. Yours is looking great so far. Such pretty fabric choices for your Sew South swap!! Just two more weeks, I am getting excited.
