 This is To-Do Tuesday #54  I will be linking with Chris Knits 

Here is my progress on last week's list:

To-Do Tuesday week of March 2 through March 8:

1. Log Cabin Loonies runner.....decide how to quilt it and start quilting ✅
2. Do more from Jean Wells book✅
3. Watch the first FB Live on Friday of Jan Krentz and the Spiral Lone Star Quilt 
   Along.✅

The first photo shows some of the assignments I have done in Jean Wells book

Intuitive Color & Design:  Adventures in Art Quilting

Last week I showed a photo of my start of this....rulerless cutting and piecing.  

This week I added the narrow insert piecing and detail piecing.

The next photo shows my start of quilting the log cabin runner.  I am using my walking foot and gray thread

In my last  two blog posts I have talked about the quilt along with Jan Krentz and it has started this month.

 Spiral Lone Star quilt along

Spiral Lone Star quilt along in March

 Yikes....I got away from blogging....I had a birthday the 16th and missed that Tuesday to blog!  Then I just stoppped and now it is time to get back to blogging again!!

Jan Krentz is having a Spiral Lone Star quilt along starting in March and I wrote a little about it in my FB cinnamon holiday workshop post on February 6.  The following is from the Amazon site where you can purchase her pattern:

From bestselling author and internationally recognized quilt instructor Jan Krentz, the Spiral Lone Star Quilt, originally published in Lone Star Quilts and Beyond, is now available as a stand-alone pattern pack.

Here are some of my photos of fabric as I try to decide which ones to use. I purchased a fat quarter bundle and now to decide which fabrics to select for the quilt and then purchase more of each one I select. The fabric bundle is Connect the Dots Artisan Batiks by Lunn Studios for Robert Kaufman Fabrics.

This is the photo Jan made that is so striking and I just love it!!! AND it is the photo I posted on my FB cinnamon holiday workshop.

The last two photos show what I am thinking of now...the row of 8 together in each photo.  I will probably change my mind many times.  So I will order some of the extra fabrics on the right side of the last row to go along with the other eight on the left.  I may have some other fabrics to add to these also.

Today I started a practice piece of Jean Wells design from her book Intuitive Color & Design:  Adventures in Art Quilting.  Here is a photo of the start of working on joining four pieces of solid fabrics.  I saw a video by stitches by julia about this and then watched a video by Jean Wells.  And then my February Sew Sampler box had a bunch of solid fabrics that I am now using.  SOOO I just had to start working on practicing this method!!  AND the photos show the start.....

Such fun to do!!!  

AND I am still working on my log cabin loonies small quilt..9 blocks done..

AND I am working on my kawandi table runner

AND now it is getting close to March Madness and we are watching a lot of basketball.  We love to watch our Aztecs and now we are watching a lot of other teams as well.

Smiles and hugs....Caryl
