Once Upon a Time: A Story Book Quilt

It feels good to get back to a quilt project and I've been thinking about this one since I threw it up on my design board a few weeks ago. With that 1001 Peeps fabric, it just said story time. So I found some cute embroidery to go with it and started last night.

I have several other sayings to add in to this quilt. (The design is from Embroidery Library)

I like how the colors go together.

Unfortunately it puckered as it stitched, so I will have to redo. But I like the colors and I think if I set a basting stitch around the edge and put a second layer of stabilizer, it will be fine next time.

So I guess I can say I'm happy to be back making a quilt!

Bears and Moose Revisited

About a month ago, I embroidered some bears and moose for my friend Kate and we started putting them together in a log cabin block.  Well Kate has been quite industrious and got all the blocks completed and we were able to lay out the quilt.

As a matter of fact, Kate was able to lay out a second quilt she made. WOW!

Well, just Color Kate Quilty!

Expanding Possibilities Quilt Top DONE!!!

I was getting to the point that I didn't think I would ever get this quilt top done. But YIPPEE, I finished last night! I'm happy with the final outcome, I wasn't sure I was going to like it after working on it for so long. I am thinking about writing up the pattern for this quilt and posting it.  It would work well with Jelly Roll strips, I will think about it while I quilt it.

Sew, Color Me Quilty!

Best Laid Plans

Well, my goal was to finish my Expanding Possibilities quilt top by the end of the long weekend, but I didn't quite make it. I had some design changes and just some plan old seam ripper challenges. You would think that a quality engineer could manage to measure things properly!  While I was trimming the second chevron pattern block it got all cattiwompus.  I did finally get all of the pieced blocks done at 9:30 last night. The rest is just going to be white.

Well, Color Me Back to Work!

Cubic Rhythm

WOOHOO! Another quilt top complete!  This was a fun, fast quilt top called Cubic Rhythm by Debbie Maddy in the Spring 2009 issue of BHG Quilts and More magazine.   I love the big blocks and wide borders.  

Great spaces to quilt

The best part is that this quilt was made entirely from my stash!  I think that means I can buy more fabric tomorrow when I meet up with the Finger Lakes Modern Quilt Guild!
