My Fancy Four Patch quilt is done. As a reminder, this was a quilt along hosted by Taryn at ReproQuiltLover on Instagram.
I bought this backing fabric years ago and I’m glad I finally found a good use for it.
It finished at 36 by 48 inches. I’m quite pleased with it!
Have a great day!
I’m nearing the finish line. I recently ordered this set of crosshatch design boards. They have a one inch grid.
I love the design boards with the larger grid that I used on the fence rail quilt.
These are not quite as forgiving if you don’t get the rows lined up just right. But I’m forging ahead.
Harry likes to lay under my quilt frame just like Willy did.
Have a great day!
I’ve been making twosies as leaders/enders.
They turn into foursies.
And now I have decided on the final width of this quilt. I think it will need an outside border.
Time to work on the length. Progress is slow, but any progress is good.
Have a great day!
Here is another installment of little quilts.
This next one was received as a swap quilt.
Have a great day!
Not a lot to show for this month in the quilting department. I tried my hand at wool appliqué with underwhelming results.
This quilt was finished ages ago, but the pattern was released this month. It’s called Checks and Rails and it is available on the AccuQuilt web site for free.
And I can’t forget my only real finish for the month, my Fence Rail quilt.
June will involve a bit of travel so we will see what I get done. We aren’t going to take a big cross country trip this year with gas prices as they are.
Have a great day!
I’ve been getting out my red/white/blue quilts for the patriotic season.
This banner is from my local quilt group. I was elected to the board this year.
I found this cute book at Goodwill. I do think everyone needs a rock or two!
The three hooligans.
Never a dull moment with them around. I love them so.
Have a great day!
Believe it or not, I actually finished this quilt! It’s been a rough week around here and it turns out, sewing is still good therapy. And I ended up with a finish to boot.
I quilted a simple cross hatch design. It goes well with pretty much everything.
These warm tones just scream cozy, autumn days.
The back is just a wide muslin. I buy it by the bolt from Walmart. The binding is a very old Brannock and Patek print. It works perfectly.
Ta daaaa!
Gosh, this finish felt good! Have a great day!
Before I share today’s post, I wanted to thank you all for your kind comments and notes about the blog. I would very much miss the interaction with all of you. I’m not going anywhere just yet, but my productivity has gone down so I feel I have less to share. I’m still pondering it all.
Now my small victory for this week!
My top is together! This is a small quilt, just 36 by 48 inches.
It’s a good size for hanging though. Just need to get it quilted and bound!
Have a great day!
Wow! This is an oldie! Published in one of the QUILT family of magazines back in the mid 90s.
Have a great day!
