Even though I’ve still been watching Wimbledon every day, I’ve been able to make considerable progress on my quilt along projects. As for my Ladies prediction…Ha, I was not even close! LOL The finalists were Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina and the unlikely winner… Rybakina. I think the whole tennis world was pulling for Jabeur but she just couldn’t keep her nerves under control.

Summer Book Club QAL
I’m happy to report this quilt is completely finished!! Woohoo! I put the final stitches in the binding Thursday evening. I’m really happy with the way this turned out and I’m STILL in love with that backing fabric… I may have to hunt down a few more yards 😜



When I posted this on IG one person asked how I kept the quilting lines so straight. I explained that I used the edge guide that came with my machine. This little tool comes is so handy when straight-line quilting!


I’ve put this quilt up for sale but if I don’t get a buyer I’ll add it to my donation pile 😊
Positivity 2022 QAL
I started making more blocks as soon as I finished the book quilt and I’m more than halfway done… here’s a pic of the first 40

I’m using Alison Glass SunPrint 2019 and these bold colors are just GORGEOUS!! This is not the final layout, I’m just putting them up as I finish the blocks. I may have to see if I have enough of each color to try to organize them in a rainbow theme 🤪
APQUFO Challenge
Unfortunately I haven’t done anything for this challenge. I did not complete the project for June (my Rainbow Postage quilt) and the number pulled for July is #4 which is my Skittles quilt. Now I’m torn between two projects I really love… do I finish the June project or move forward with July…???


That’s about all for now… The Men’s final is on and I need to go watch it!
Have a great rest of your weekend!

Those quilts and quilts in progress look awesome! I love summer book club – that came out fantastic. I think I have something like that to keep my lines straight for my Bernina but I never use it – ha! Perhaps I will use it 🙂

Hi Tierney, I sold the book club quilt to a friend I used to work with 😊 Her DIL is a teacher and she’s going to give it to her for Christmas. I love that little tool to keep my quilting lines straight, let me know how you like it.
