WIP Wednesday -- two quilt alongs now. :)

Yep, that's right.  I'm now in the thick of not one, but two quilt alongs. :)

First up --

Cara's Urban Lattice.

This is going to be Jay's manly quilt... and fittingly, Jay stayed up late with my Sunday night to finish all forty-eight blocks.  I finished at 11:57.

I tried to get up before S on Monday morning to lay them all out, and I did beat him, but not by enough time.  So I finished the lay-out during his nap, and got half of them sewn together that evening.

I am proud to report that making the blocks without paper piecing still resulted in perfectly aligned points.

Next up -- Aneela's "Pickledish" quilt along.

(I have heard that this isn't technically a pickledish block, but a modified wedding ring -- I'm not an expert, but I thought you might be interested in that little tidbit)

These are my latest obsession.  I would sew these all day (and night) if I could.

You saw the last two...

"Pickledish" blocks

...and then there were three.

In good news -- 
I got a finish this week! (show you Friday).

But I'm starting a new one (for my niece due to arrive sometime around March 1)

I love this Pink Lemonade look. :)

I'm linking this in to Lee's WIP Wednesday!  Go see who else is playing. :)

    Pink lemondade - yes, that's exactly what that line is!! I love those Pickledish blocks, they look tricky. I love how they look, though :)

    Ok, you are the first one i've seen to put the pink with the yellow and gray, and I ADORE it!!!! It will be so wonderful- can hardly wait to see what pattern you use ;) Thanks for all the amazing inspiration- p.s. I got the I Dance in Circles quilt done (using Fandango like you did) and am sooooo happy with it. Thank you for amazing tutorials to help a girl who has never quilted before learn to make a quilt ;)!!

    Love the urban lattice and the pickledish. I have been thinking of doing the pickledish quilt-along, but have been scared of all that piecing. It turns out so fun.

    The "pink lemonade" is cute. I am working with that line right now and I am crazy for the gray, green, and orange together. I love the manly quilt, btw.

    As always, beautiful stuff! We always called your pickle dish quilt a double wedding ring, but I don't know if that's regional or not. And I love the pink lemonade fabrics! Hubby's quilt is spectacular - the neutrals were a stroke of genius!!

    oooo... I've just "discovered" the sunkissed range! I have to have the grey with the words :) I'm trying to figure out which other ones I can justify! :)

    Tracey, this is so funny - when you commented on my Urban Lattice the other day, you said you tried to "beat the boy up" so you could lay it out, and I totally read that the wrong way! Of course I knew you must have been joking, but still! Now that I've read your post I realize you meant you were trying to WAKE UP before him. Makes much more sense and I am far less concerned about Steiger now. : )

    At any rate, your U.L. looks FABULOUS. I love the dimension the different background colors give it! And the pickle dish is amazing too.

    Thanks for linking up! Have a great week!
