Nesting – the Bloom Quilt

March 1, 2011 by persimondreams 1 Comment

I’ve finally made some decent progress on my third ‘Nesting’ Quilt.  So, I put the strips together (as you saw in the WIP Wednesday post) and off the quilt top went to QuiltsbyBarb for a little ‘bare bone’s’ quilting.  In less than a week I had my quilted top back to me!  So, I started to cut out my circles for my yo-yo’s.  To begin…I starched the heck out of the fabric and ironed it.  I then found random circular objects around my basement in various sizes to use as my circle templates.  I traced the outline of the objects with a water soluble fabric marker.  Bloom - WIP Then using my handy dandy teeny tiny rotary cutter I cut out the different circles.  Bloom - WIP I definitely do not have all of my circles cut yet, but I didn’t want to get to far ahead of myself.  I figure I’ll get some yo-yo’s made and see what other colors I need.Bloom Quilt - WIPHere are just a few of the yo-yo’s I have done so far.  My goal is to make at least 5 a day…hopefully it will be more than that or this is really going to take forever! Bloom Quilt - WIP I REALLY like what striped fabric does when it’s yo-yo’d.    Make your own Yo Yos: http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/techniques/specialty/making-yoyos_1.html Make your own Yo Yo (with a template):  http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/blog/?p=552
