I love this quilt still. I really should make another! Enjoy!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Scrappy Trips

Posted on March 23, 2018 by katyquilts

I finished up my Scrappy Trips quilt a while back. I’m finally getting around to sharing it.

This started with this jelly roll of Boundless Ombré from Craftsy. I originally planned to use this gray for the background. I’m glad I went with the white.

In this next photo, you get a sneak peek at my backing surprise!

I found this at a discount shop a while back and grabbed it as I knew it would make a great backing someday! It was marked 100% Cotton on the selvedge.

I love how it turned out!

Have a great day!

I’ve been watching my grand dogs while we’ve been on baby watch this week. So I set up for a bit of sewing in the kitchen.

Have a great day!

I haven’t even looked at my UFOs for this year. Until now. I found this little bin and remembered why I cut these!

They are to go with these.

To make these.

And these.

Now let’s see if I can get a few sewn.

Have a great day!

I decided to move this from leader/ender to main project status.

The top looks wrong. The darks and lights line up.

I figure that out and did a bit of editing and now it’s on the frame.

I like how it’s looking so far!

Have a great day!

Our quilt group is going to do a UFO exchange. I’m finally going to get rid of this project! I love the block pattern, but not in love with these fabrics. It does occur to me that I could use my GO! Irish Chain block to make these…but they would be a different size.

Mister and I saw this movie. It was very good. The casting was excellent.

Little Penny is so sweet!

The pups are all getting along well!

This is how I have felt the last few months, but I think I’m on the other side now.

“Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.”

Have a great day!

A walk around my backyard, that is!

I love all the textures of the cacti.

Palm trees always delight me.

This narly thing is a totem pole cactus.

Limes!

A few rock finds.

Have a great day!

I had completely forgotten this quilt, until I found it while looking for something else. Enjoy!

Finish It Up Friday

My challenge quilt is done. 

I’m not thrilled with the quilting. Red or black thread would have been better, but I used what I had on hand.

I do love the backing fabric. I used a facing instead of a binding for this one.

It ended up about 30 inches square. I learned a lot making this. I might just do it again!

Have a great day

I don’t remember where or when I picked up this yard of fabric.

The strips are five and a half inches wide.

This is the info on the selvedge.

I wonder what I could make with this bit. Have you ever used a fabric like this?

Have a great day!
