WIP Wednesday

I've been working on a lot of stuff this week, mostly alterations, but I have had a few quilting projects going, too.  I've been working on some quilted journals - I have a set of birds that I cut out of a lovely piece of fabric a while back, so I want to get those done.  My youngest daughter has chosen one of them as her own, so maybe that will be next, but this is the one I worked on today:

I love this kind of sewing - I just add on to my design as I go, no planning ahead.  I really like the flying geese with that pretty floral fabric!

I also got back on the Crazy Jane horse.  Really need to be more consistent in working on these if I want to finish the top by August!  This is H-5.  Michael's Motorcycle.  I redrafted this one a bit to make the triangles even in the center.  I didn't like the way the one in the book wasn't at a 90 degree angle, so did it my way.  I'm a lot happier with my blocks if I make them the way I want them to look rather than following the diagrams in the book 100 percent of the time.  It was an easy one, only took a half hour.  Then I spent another half hour looking for my chart.  I saw it the other day and told myself I would be sorry if I didn't put that where I could find it later. I was right.  No clue as to where it is today, but I'm certain it's in my disaster area sewing room somewhere.  It will turn up eventually!

No more for tonight, time to turn in and get some sleep.  I work a full day at the quilt shop tomorrow!  Hopefully I will be able to resist any new fabrics.  You know how it is, especially when you have to spend the whole day being tempted!
