PROGRESS ON WIGGLY WHIMSY

Terry at  Terry’s Treasures is having a Wiggly Whimsy Sew Along.  You can still participate.  Just click on the picture on her sidebar for the directions.  I just finished my second strip.  Above are the first two strips side-by-side.  I will probably wait until I have all the strips made before I start sewing them together. 
This is a close up.  I love the looks of this and think it will make a cute quilt for my granddaughter.   I used the charm square pack Happy, but I noticed today on another blog that scraps were being used.  What a great idea.  I certainly have plenty of scraps and make another one just using my scraps.
 
On Another Note: 
  • The Spring Fling Shop Hop will be held the week of April 12-20.  Seven shops are participating.  Daily drawings for $20 gift certificates from each shop.  Someone will be the winner of the grand prize: a Janome Sewing Machine!   Get your passport now for only $5. 
  • Quilters Road Trip will be held during the months of April, May, and June.  Twelve area shops are participating.  You get a chance to win a $25 gift certificate each month at each shop.  Also available will be new projects, patterns and giveaways.  Passports are only $5.

On Another Note:  Just Crafty Enough has wonderful instructions for making a by your side ironing board.  I wish I had seen this before I tried to make mine last weekend. 

Until next time,
♥
Stay Calm! Stay Kind! Stay Positive!

    Your Wiggly strips look great! I love the bright colors! I was going to use scraps for mine, but I needed a break from scrappy. It would make a great bed quilt done scrappy! :0)

    Loving your Wiggly quilt!

    I made myself a TV tray ironing board a year ago. I intended to only use it at retreats but find I use it just as much at home. I've used it so much that it is approaching time to recover it!

    Hello,
    hope it's not too late ...don't forget the background strip between each of the rows - not pictured in the tutorial but the instructions are there nonetheless! That's unless you want to make it smaller.
    PS still working on mine.
    Beatrice.
