[Past Projects Showcase] Mom's Quilt

I've actually started going to the gym this week. First time I've consistently done it in a really long time. But that means less time to be crafty so big stuff will have to wait for weekends as I'm not getting home before 7pm now. But in the meantime, I'll do a Past Projects Showcase.

Up for display today: Mom's Quilt.

Keep going for progress shots and the story (because it's not a normal quilt in case you can't tell). 

Finished Double Wedding Ring Quilt Top

Isn't it pretty? There are some mistakes that I may or may not fix. This was afterall a test run to see if I would want to make a big one. I'm thinking no. Too many curves. GRANTED, the accuquilt helped a lot because it made notches on all the pieces and it saved so much time cutting. And it wasn't the sewing that was the part that makes me want to go "never again", but rather the pinning.

Keep reading for the treat I did with my new camcorder (I told you there would be videos). 

Weekend Update

I have a bad habit of going to at least one craft store every weekend. I think it's part of "must take a break from cleaning and get out of the house", but I also can't leave a craft store without buying something. It's almost worse than Home Depot in that regard.

This past Saturday was no different. I went to Target, Best Buy, Hancock's, and Joann's. Here's my haul:

A Tron identity disc in my craft stuff? Yeah, because you can't find the white ones, so this was a big coup (and for $13.99!). I now have the Sam, Rinzler, and Kevin discs! The big bite was at Joann's and was 40% off, so I got it for around $20. I got 2 more cuttlebug folders for my non existent cuttlebug (I have a plan), a set of white cards to play with (from Joann's), a 2.5" bias tape maker for my Simplicity machine and 4 yards of the Top Drawer fabric line from Hancock's.  I also got white mettler thread at Hancock's while it was 50% off. Woo.

Keep reading for what I got at Best Buy and the progress on my double wedding ring quilt. 

What Am I Working on And Double Wedding Ring Die

What else am I working on? A double wedding ring wall hanging using my new accuquilt die! Took about 45 minutes to cut out all the pieces. I planned to make quilts for my friends that got married, but decided I needed a test case first. I'm such an engineer!
