Modern Crazy Piecing

Back in July I took a class with Jacquie Gering of Tallgrass Prairie Studio The class was great! If you get the opportunity to take a class with her I would highly recommend it.   I can't believe I haven't posted anything about it yet.  The class I took was the three hour modern crazy piecing.  
This is what I have so far.
9 modern crazy pieced centers with one ring of the log cabin.




One,




Two,




Three completed blocks!




These blocks are huge 18" x 24". Six more blocks to go and I hope to have a quilt top like this One.. You need to scroll all the way to the bottom to see the quilt Blue Ice.

New fabric

A few fabrics I picked up at lunch time today.



I think I am going to like the new bee I joined it is called Sew Bee It. Marie requested tone on tone fabrics for her block this month. Honest I looked but couldn't find any fabrics in my stash that I thought would work, I had to buy some more.

Key Lime Bali Pops & 1895 Gardenia

Getting ready to start a quilt with Key Lime Bali Pop & 1895 Gardenia (one of my favorite Hoffman batiks).



Three strips sewn together. Ready to do some pressing.



All pressed and ready to cut into 2 1/2" sections.



All cut and ready to make some nine patches.



Yesterday was a pretty productive snow day at my house! Columbia, MO had another 8" of snow and we had about 2" of slush so no going to work for me.

Floor cushion

I have another project completed that I forgot to blog about. I used this tutorial found on Living with punks website.



I am very happy with the way it turned out. The piping wasn't scary at all and really makes the cushion. I wish I could find more of this fabric.



If you look real close you can see the zipper I added so no hand sewing was used on this project, you got to love that! This should make it easy to wash if needed and we know that is probable going to be needed with a little boy around. I stuffed it with batting remnants that seem to multiply around my house.



One last picture of the handle.
