New design wall

My cutting table made it's way back into the refreshed sewing room. You can see more of the pressing station in this view also. DH took this photo with his new phone and it makes the room look bigger than it really is! It's only 13'x 13'.

And I now have a permanent design wall! It is the largest that this room could provide at 60" wide x 83" tall. We used the pink insulation foam board and covered it with flannel. You can see I really love it as I took a break from organization and moving more stuff in to sew!  

The next day we put the white pegboard up and began filling it with white plastic Dollar Tree baskets to hold scissors, needles and other sewing needs. I like that it is right beside the sewing table. Did you notice another piece on the design wall? Plus the stars are all together and have their borders now.

Design Wall Monday

 It really is Design Wall Monday for me as we got my design wall up! This is the first of the two insulation foam boards covered and attached to the wall. We covered them with white flannel. We finished the second foam board a little quicker than the first and I didn't snap a photo of it up.

I am loving having an 8'x8' design wall for the first time ever!  This is a UFO I started a year ago. I had half of the blocks done and put it away. This year I decided it needed to make it's way to the flimsy stage. Here you see part of the second foam board where the last column of blocks are.

All the blocks got made this past week and borders made this weekend. My first flimsy finish for the year. I worked on it on New Year's Day as I have heard that whatever you do on New Years Day is what you will do all year long!  I hope it holds true!!

This is from a Missouri Star tutorial called Sticks and Stones. After seeing one that Melva made I knew I had the perfect jelly roll to use for it. However once I got going on it I wished for a few more darks to be in it, but looking at the photos I think it is just fine.

Wedge topper-What's on my design wall

I pieced this wedge topper yesterday after I mocked it up in EQ7. I am slowly learning my way around in EQ and pretty happy with how this one came out, of course it still needs it circle appliqued in the center before I quilt it. 

 And this morning I worked up this runner using the Disappearing nine patch idea. The Batik fat quarters I recently purchased at a sale, $7 for 10 of them!  

Then this afternoon I started working on another wedge round topper. Do I seem a little obsessed with round toppers lately!!  Guess it is something new to try :-)  This one will be round when I am done as there is no way I can quilt it on my long arm and bind all the points! Tomorrow I will finish the piecing. My pile of 'to be quilted' is growing and someday soon I will have to start on that.
