These are so freaking cute. The blocks are 5". So tiny. Lots of cussing but worth it when they are finished

Finally finished my Everglow Star Cluster quilt. I added borders to make it bigger. Used a Jungle Leaf edge-to-edge quilting pattern and wool batting..

I've been slowly working on my road to Ireland quilt. I have all the units cut and sewn to begin making more 9 patches for the double 9 patch blocks.

Finally working on my own laptop case. After making 2 other ones this one is going together pretty easily.

Woohoo, finally ready to assemble. I'm so excited!

Postcards From Sweden is ready for quilting. I'lll be using the fabric in the second picture for the back of the quilt. I haven't decided on a quilting design yet.

More progress on the Postcards quilt. 5 rows of HSTs, 4 to go.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

I have all of my triangles matched up for the rest of my Postcards quilt. 9 more rows to go. They go pretty quickly.

My Postcards from Sweden is growing on me. I figured once I got some more warm colors I would like it better.

I purchased this quilt kit at the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival in 2023. I quilted it with a digital quilting pattern called Heatwave and used a flame colored variegated thread.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Working on my Postcards From Sweden quilt. So far I'm underwhelmed but I'm hoping I'm satisfied with the finished quilt since I've always loved the quilt. But I'm not a fan of solids. Stay tuned.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

I'm so excited. All 100 sewed, sorted by color, and sashed. I'll assemble in a couple weeks after I return from vacation.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Did the last 15 blocks for my 100 Modern Blocks quilt. I sorted the 1st 85 and I was heavy on the cool colors so the last 15 are warm colors. Mostly orange as I only had 4 oranges in the stack.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

So I got an idea from a conversation with a friend and a churn dash quilt I recently quilted. Decided to plan a quilt but with all different sizes of the same block & some blocks within blocks. The smallest will be 3" finished which is super small so I decided I better make a test block.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

I've been busily coloring/planning for my Barn Star Sampler. I think I might use metallic. Grunge, cork, and another line I have from connecting threads.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

I decided this quilt needs more attention so it moved upstairs to the TV watching sewing machine and I made a teeny tint bucket of teeny tiny 4-patches and 12 half sq triangles.

Everglow Star Cluuster quilt ready for the longarm. It's been a productive quilt retreat.

My Gravity quilt is ready to be quilted!

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

Busy getting ready for quilt retreat, I've been cutting for 2 days and still have 9 more fabrics to cut, 36 different fabrics in this quilt. Oh and I think this may be my 1st ever quilt made with solids.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

Getting ready for retreat next weekend so I went ahead and sewed the blocks for week 16, which is next. I'm loving this quilt so much I may actually do the last 20 blocks at retreat. Stay tuned!

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

Week 15 in the books, 75 of 100 blocks are done.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

I have spent a bit of time tidying and reorganizing. I'm in a cinder block basement that I painted floor to rafters when my longarm moved in 13 years ago and I relocated from the attic bonus room. I have come to the conclusion I will fill all available space and I don't sew as quickly as I shop.

Switched gears back to my 100 Modern Blocks quilt

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Another section completed, 4 to go. I have to give a shout out to Jaybird Quilts and Julie. Her patterns and rulers are amazing.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

1st section of Gravity Complete. 5 sections to go.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

These 2, not a care in the world this Saturday morning.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

I may have to rework the light yellow block it's a bit bright but I think the others I thought I would rework aren't really jumping out at me.

060

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Last 2 blocks, stay tuned for the center star layout!

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Thought I posted this earlier. My favorite of the blocks I've done.

030

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Nearing the finish line on my Gravity quilt. 1 more block in 2 colors and I'll be done with the center of the quilt.

060

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

I have blocks 7, 8, & 9 of Gravity cut and ready to sew! 2 colorways of each block so 6 more and I'll be ready to cut background. They sew up much faster than cutting.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Switched back to 100 Modern Blocks for week 13 Blocks.

Gravity block 5, on the fence about the pink block, may have to switch out the light pink jewels.

020

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

Zipping right along. Skipped to Block 6 of Gravity. Block 5 is cut but I ran out of time.

020

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Block 4 of Gravity. 1 more block to be caught up but I'm not sure I'll be able to stop. It's so pretty.

030

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Last night I cut block 4 of Gravity. I'll sew them together tonight. I need to read the directions better and remember the pattern is written for 10" layer cakes. Could have avoided quite a bit of waste had I cut it a bit different. Oh well not the 1st time I've wasted a bit of fabric.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

Week 12 of the 100 Modern Blocks SAL is done. I still need to sash them in the next day or so. Only 8 weeks to go.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Gravity quilt, block 2. The right one is more purple than tge picture shows.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Back to the 100 Modern Blocks quilt. Week 11. Decided I needed more warm colors afyer looking at the 1st 50 blocks so I switched out the greens and blues for this round.

vickiibarra.bsky.social @vickiibarra.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Moving on to Kaffe because what's a retreat without me breaking out the Kaffe project.
