Tumbling blocks and IKEA trip

Hello!

My tumbling blocks quilt top is finally finished! I kept making it larger and larger so it ended up being 75inches by 92 inches! I think it looks pretty good in the guest room, although my mom has hinted that this one should live at her house...




I think the black borders really make it pop.

Last week Bart was sick so I decided I needed to get out of the house and away from the germs. I somehow ended up at IKEA and a bunch of new orginization tools somehow made their way into my cart... I don't know how these things happen!


 Three sets of floating shelves and some great glass jars, as well as some buckets to store all my tools!


A dry erase board to keep track of all my projects!

And a huge vase to keep my scraps that will someday work their way into another quilt!


All in all I would say it was a good week!

Tumbling Blocks

Hello! This week I have been working on my Tumbling Blocks:

They are coming along pretty well although I need to decide soon how large I want this quilt as I have pretty much filled up my design wall. I kind of want to make my design wall larger but then it will cover my shoe closet...

so hard to pick... the shoes VS the design wall... I am pretty sure the design wall will win this one...

My next step for this quilt will be to buy the black I want for the borders and get this thing put together! That will have to wait for next week as we are hosting a superbowl party tomorrow so I will have no time for sewing!
