WIP Wednesday - Exploding Heart

I started the Exploding Heart QAL hosted by Laura @ Slice of Pi Quilts back in 2021.  Four year later, I have a finished quilt top. ☺

I used Kona Quicksilver for the background and a FQ bundle from Moda Fabrics -- Sunnyside Up by Corey Yoder.

These are the 15 prints I used from the bundle.

  I used my Accquilt Go cutter to cut the many, many, many triangles needed.

I finished piecing the blocks in 2022.

This month, I started piecing the rows.  It's finally pieced!!  It's wrinkly because it was too hot to turn on the iron.

I was worried that I'd make a piecing mistake, but there's a heart.

TGIFF - Ornamental

I'm working my way through a long list of unquilted tops that need to be finished.

I started Ornamental by Beaquilter in 2022.  This was one of the projects I worked on at Sewtopia Palm Springs.  It's now quilted!

I used Island Batik fabrics that I had in my stash, along with Kona Coal.

I used Connecting Threads #21169 Custard to do an all-over stipple.  When in doubt, go with a light yellow thread.  Custard is my favourite yellow from Connecting Threads.

It feels good to save a quilt top from the overflowing UFO laundry basket.  LOL
