Quilting!!

If you just started reading my blog, you probably think all I do is make fun bags. :-)

Not true!  I started this blog to journal my quilting, and I still very much love to quilt!

It's just that I can't always show you what I am working on~ it's a gift, it's a pattern test, or I forget and move on to the next thing. Oops. ;-)

I joined a BOM in January where the intent was to take 15 FQ's, mark them lightest to darkest and then make the blocks, using the numbers for placement of colors. (Did I mention I don't always follow the rules?)  :-o Well, I planned to use some of my Christmas stash and I did mark the FQ's as instructed, but as I got to making blocks, I didn't always care for the two fabrics chosen for the block. So here are my blocks so far, with generous substitutions. LOL It is nice to have a little stash to play in!

I want a bed size quilt, so I am thinking about using an alternate block to set these~ maybe a chain-type block.. do you have any suggestions?

I just finished this quilt and it is a surprise, but I don't think the recipient reads my blog. ;-) (or even knows it exists! LOL)

 

I didn't have a pattern. I was gifted a lot of strips and just sewed, cut and sewed some more.

It was breezy and my quilt holders didn't want the sun in their eyes. It measures a whopping 94" x 100", so I don't blame them for tired arms after wrestling the wind. I do wish I had gotten a closer shot though. :-/

And I finished quilting this quilt~

It is another large quilt! It was pieced by my Mom. I am going to get the binding on and deliver it to her to sew down. ;-)

That is all for today~ I am headed back to my sewing machine. I have another quilt top in the works. ;-)

 

Until next time~

Happy stitchin'!
