UFO Exchange

A huge thanks for all the well wishes on our new grandson! He is truly amazing.

Remember a while back when I mentioned my quilt groups UFO exchange? Well, this is what I brought home.

Not my normal choice of colors, but I do like it.

The pattern is called Cathedral Star by Linda Ballard Designs.

The big blocks were already done! This should be a fun project, when I get around to it.

Have a great day!

Experimenting

I have had this photo pinned for ages. I thought it was a Kaffe Fasset design, but maybe it’s a rug? I couldn’t follow it to the source.

Anyway, when I found this stripe in my stash, I decided to play with it a bit.

So far, I’ve just cut some random strips. I’m hoping I’ll get a chance to play with these soon.

Have a great day!

This and That

Yep, I’m busy, busy!

Don’t you feel this way sometimes?

In case you need a good dad joke…

Our skies have been just stunning lately!

The partial lunar eclipse was pretty cool too.

Have a great day!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Green Dog 2.0

Our newest grandson made his appearance early Tuesday morning!

We are absolutely smitten with him. ❤️

Now I can share his completed quilt!

Daughter #2 has three dachshunds and baby’s room has a puppy theme. Here are two of the three.

I was asked if I quilted the background before adding the appliqué and the answer is yes.

I was on the fence about using this giant gingham for the binding, but I like it.

This next photo shows the truest color.

Have a great day!

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!

Remember My UFOs?

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!

Progress

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!
