Solids quilt. This is my first finished quilt of 2012—and I can't show it to you. How annoying. But I'm very pleased with it, and even more pleased that it's finished!
New projects:
Challenge mini quilt - Mark Cesarik was nice enough to send me a little preview of his upcoming line, Cosmic Burst. These vivid colors practically leaped out of the envelope all on their own–they're so fabulous! Can't wait to finish this mini and enter it in the Modern Mini Challenge at Ellison Lane Quilts.

You make me so curious about the solid project... (what might be the secret)? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find those cute little binding clips?
ReplyDeleteThose are Clover Wonder Clips. They're pretty awesome. : )
DeleteOoooh, love the aqua, it's perfect!! So glad your binding came together so quick :) And your MC charms are really just stunning! Thank you again so much for such a wonderful visit, I had so much fun :)
ReplyDeleteThose 9 patches are gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish, Lee! Looking forward to seeing it and seeing what you do with those fab 9 patches!

ReplyDeleteCosmic Burst really is a beautiful line. Love the bright colors -looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteWhat size strip did you cut for your binding for the Solid Quilt? My binding NEVER looks like that! I'm wondering if maybe I should use a smaller strip. I use a 2.5 inch strip.
ReplyDeleteOoh, la, la! I love that cosmic burst collection. Can't wait until it comes out. Thanks for the preview!
ReplyDeletelovely work this week!
ReplyDeleteThe colours in your mini are super pretty Lee

ReplyDeleteThank you for your blog. The quilt squares are beautiful.
Extra busy today so my post is late, but I'm in :)
ReplyDeleteThose colors for the mini quilt are wild!
I got those binding clips recently and have used them once..how do you like them? Any tricks you've figured out?
ReplyDeleteI like them! I like how they don't curve the edge of the quilt the way the old barrette-type binding clips did. I think you can stitch closer to them without taking them out, whether by machine or by hand.
DeleteThanks for doing this every week, Lee. I love stopping at new to me blogs
ReplyDeleteOh man, that crisp binding is the stuff of dreams. I also love the fabric line in your mini. Thanks for sharing the deets, because I'm going to check that out!
ReplyDeletethe cosmic burst blocks look great! the binding shot is great. can't wait to see it.
