WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced
Hi everybody—I'm Stacey from The Tilted Quilt. I am really thrilled to guest host WIP Wednesday for Lee this week. This was one of the first blogs I ever stumbled upon when I started quilting and I remember even being nervous the first time I linked up to share a project. If this is your first time or your thirtieth, welcome! I love browsing the projects from all of the talented quilters each week—what an inspiration and a wonderful place to share our passion for quilting with each other.

My to-do list is ever growing, but a few recent finishes have made way for a whole set of new work.Here's what's going on in my sewing room this week: 

I'm working on a quilt for Moda Bake Shop that should (fingers crossed) be completed mid-July. It uses the totally adorable S'more Love line that just came out. This is going to be a family quilt to take on our camping adventures. I can't wait to show you the finished product—it will be a very simple paper-pieced block, great for beginners. 

On my cutting table you will find these three fabrics which will make up Block #5 of my Swoon quilt.  I've just joined a Flickr group of other Swooners with the goal of finishing this up by the end of the summer.

These blocks were made for me by my Get Your Hex On! hive mates. It would be an understatement to say that I am a hex-aholic. I started a bee this year dedicated to all things hexie and it's been such a blast so far. My month to host was February and I hadn't really made progress on laying out these gorgeous blocks yet. This past weekend, my hubby (aka my design consultant) and I put up the blocks on the design wall and started playing around with layouts for these blocks. Eventually, the quilt will be called "Falling in Love." I snapped a quick pic of what I want to do. 

Now, I've got to figure out a way to implement the vision.

So, what are you working on this week? Here are the linky rules:1. Link up any post from the past week that features at least one unfinished work-in-progress (WIP).2. Somewhere in your post, you must link back here to my blog. (Or grab the WIP Wednesday button for your sidebar.)3. Comment on at least a few of the other WIP Wednesday links.P.S. (from Lee): Hey, would you like to guest-host a WIP Wednesday post? I'm looking for guest-hosts with beautiful projects, a unique style, and an entertaining writing voice for the first Wednesday of each month. Drop me a line at freshlypieced *at* gmail dot com and include a link to your own blog. Priority will go to those who have regularly linked up to WIP Wednesday in the past.
