Spiraling

This week is brought to you by the letter "S" for Spiraling. You decide if I'm "in" or "out" of control!

If you are looking for my Sew, Mama, Sew giveaway (Rainbow pack of fat quarters) click here. You can enter every day through Friday. 

More fun homework from Leah Day this week, Spiral Ornaments.  This was on a practice sandwich.


I really like the design, but I didn't have any sashing to put it on, then the light bulb came on and I realized I didn't need to stitch it on sashing.
I thought it would be perfect for the envelope flap of my pods pillow. (Isn't that the coolest Christmas fabric I got for the back of the pillow??)

And speaking of my pods pillow, I finished the FMQ on the front and got it trimmed down to size.

I didn't get a chance to assemble the pillow yet, but it really shouldn't take to long to do. It will make a great Christmas gift for someone.

Spiral Ornaments wasn't the only spiraling I did this week, I got all 20 of the blocks for my second Storybook quilt quilted with spirals.
The back of the blocks.
Now I need to get them trimmed up and start joining them. I just may make it in time for Christmas.

  9. Terrific FMQ! I should be practicing more on some of those quilt tops I have hanging in my closet. However, I think your idea of doing FMQ as you go on the quilt squares is a way to get the quilted finished easily.

    Thanks for stopping by Freshly Pieced today and posting your WIP link.
