Design Wall Monday - Cameo Sew Along

Wow, I just reviewed my to-do list from last Wednesday and I realized that I have made great progress over the long holiday weekend.  I was able to get in a lot of good quilting time.

 
I started on my project for the Amy Butler Cameo sew-along.  I was over-thinking my design and did nothing for 3 days.  I finally just cut into the fabric and the piece looks exactly how I imagined.  
 
Since this mini quilt is almost complete, I started on 2 more Cameo projects - a hexie pillow and a mantle scarf for the fireplace.  This was my first time working with trim and although I love the look of the pom-poms, it was kind of a bear to sew.  I think this was because the pom poms did not have much trim material.  I just could not get this to work on my machine even when using a scant seam allowance.  I ended up blind stitching this by hand.

  4. I haven't heard of a mantel scarf - where on the mantel do you put it? Regardless, it looks great - the pom poms are an adorable detail. And I really like the other two projects as well.

  6. I'm also unfamiliar with a mantle scarf but I like the pompoms. Can't wait to see the pillow! I still haven't taken the plunge into hexies. Someday...
