It's Monday so that means I can link up to Judy's Design Wall showing you what I have on mine.  I had these blocks and borders left over from the first quilt I made with these fabrics so I decided to put them together in a table runner.
I'm calling this one 'A Terra Twister' and I think it's going to be the last of this fabric line.   Should fit my table nicely.
 <<<< It's #4
I do still have a lot of strings and a few pieces left but they will go into my scraps and worked in with other scraps.




This was on my wall last week and I've finished the top.  It has to wait it's turn to go to the quilters though.    This makes the third quilt I've made with the Aqua Terra fabric from Connecting Threads.   It's a bit smaller than the last one but should make a nice twin size with a good side drop.

<<< This is #1   I finished it in May, 2010.  It resides on my couch.

and this is #2 >>>

I think that's quite a good supply out of one fabric line.  I am more than ready to be moving on.
I might spend some time getting a few bindings added to the last two quilts I've gotten back and pull out a couple of UFO's to try to get finished.
And then again.... I could change my mind.....

This is the way I left my Terra Tumbler for several weeks.  Sorry about the bad lighting.
At this size I knew I wanted to enlarge it a bit more so I started looking for a border fabric.  The background fabric I have just didn't look right.  It was too light and didn't contain the scrappy blocks like I wanted.

 Nothing I had in my stash worked either.  The blues I have were too pure and the rusts were already taken for the 2nd quilt I'm in the process of making now.
So I decided a nice dark chocolate would be just right.  Off to the LQS (which isn't local at all).  And I found the just right color.  

Two more borders added and this is a finished top and now I'm happy.  
It's about 85"x92" and should fit a full bed nicely.

Happy Monday!!  Another week starting and I have another one of my quilts almost finished.
 I think it's time to give it a name.  I've decided to call it 'A Terra Tumbler'.  (Aqua Terra fabric & tumbler block)  So very original don't you think.  ;o)

I now have all the scrappy borders sewn on and it doesn't matter how hard I try there always seems to be a few squares that should have been moved to another area.
But that's the nice thing about scrappy I think.  I can make all kids of mistakes and it still looks good.

Since I can't get a full picture of the quilt while it's on my design wall .....my dining room floor will suffice for now.    So far it measures about 70" x 80".
I could stop here and just call it good.....or..... I'm thinking about adding another small light blue border and then a larger border made with the same background fabric I put around the tumblers.   I think another 7" to 9" per side will bring it to the size I'd rather have.   I'm going to ponder awhile.

So since it's Monday and Judy's Design Wall has a bunch of beautiful quilts linked there you really should grab a cuppa and head on over.  Maybe I'll see you there.
Have a great day!!

It's the start of another week so that means it's time for me to link to Judy' Design Wall Monday.

I'm still working on the tumbler quilt and this was taken Sunday afternoon.   I do have all the squares cut for the borders and just have to get them sewn together.  Laying them out so the colors are nicely mixed is just as labor intensive as those tumblers.

Hubby & I were supposed to have our medical checkups this morning but the weather turned out to be not so nice.  So I called and cancelled the appointment and will reschedule later.
Oh shucks!  That means I'll be able to sew today.

You all have a good day....I've gotta get moving.

When I first decided I wanted to make another tumbler quilt I had <<<<<this layout in mind.

But then I started putting them up on the design wall in the order I was cutting them out and thought about doing this stripe layout.>>>>>

After I had all the tumblers cut and the first layout all complete I decided I'd see how I liked the stirred up version that I had originally planned.
And of course I liked it best after all.  Somehow it just seems to look the best in my mind.....So I changed my mind about the layout and went with this one.  I'm now in the process of sewing it together and cutting and sewing the border.

I do that so much.  I'll start with a plan.... then twist it around .... and sometimes it's better and sometimes it's not.  
Goodness!!  That layout started to cross my eyes trying to not allow any two blocks of the same color to touch.  I didn't worry about pattern as much as I did about color.  And if any of you see any that are touching (and I haven't) please let me know.
