Color Me Quilty: Choo Choo Chugging Along

I like trains! So I decided to stitch one on a pillow!

Coloring book train

I used the tulle technique to transfer the design onto the fabric. I really like this method, click here to see.

Train stitched

I have a lot more to do on this piece. I plan to zipple (Leah Day's straight line stipple) behind the train, then use Sew Cal Gal's (Leah Day design) FMQ May Challenge for the border since it looks like train tracks to me! I hope that my 3 year grandson Tadd likes it.

I did work on another project, that had been put on the back burner for a few months, my Urban Nine Patch (FLMQG solids crib quilt challenge). I have all of the pieces turned into parts - although not quite blocks.

I still have to trim the parts and sew them together into blocks, but it is starting to come together.

In other cool news, my Storybook quilt was nominated for the top five FAVORITE BED QUILTS at the Spring 2012 Bloggers' Quilt Festival. If you haven't voted already, I sure would appreciate if would consider voting for my quilt. Click here to vote!
