the neverending quilt!

I have been working on this quilt for quite some time!!!! I came across some vintage fabric and thought it would look cool doing a tumbling block quilt with it! never did i ever imagine what i would be getting myself into. i started sewing the blocks by hand after about 2 years i decided there was nothing wrong with the machine! and to get over being ambitious. I'm sure you can all relate to those ambitious projects of doing things the old fashion way!! after completing the blocks in about 3 hours on the machine........after all that time before what was I thinking!!!! i joined the blocks into strips........wheeeewh! Now it was time to put the strips together! now what!! the strips have tips on them (^^^^^^^^^^^^) how was I gonna join them! it's a Y seam!!!!!! ahhhhhhh! i looked online for anything that would help and all I could find was " no more y seam tumbling block quilt you can now do it in strips" ahhhh I did not want to see that!!! after about an hour of searching and finding nothing I figured it out on how to do it my own way! it's not the quickest way but it works!!!!!! yeah!!! and after about 4 hours of work this is my outcome. I have about 13 more rows to go!!!!!

more bottle caps!


yet another project i created with those bottle caps!!!! I wanted to make magnets out of them but I could not figure out a way to make them with out the backs scratching the fridge then i came up with a brilliant idea!!! make them like I pops! after careful consideration i thought through my plan and vwala!!!! magnificent!!! I have yet another idea for those caps which i will be posting soon................cheers!
