This is still one of my most favorite quilts I’ve ever made! Enjoy!

Finish It Up Friday

Posted on March 24, 2017 by katyquilts

Today’s finish is a big one! I’m happy to say my Gwennie Inspired Medallion from the QAL is finally done!

While most people made wall or throw sized quilts, I added enough borders to make mine fit my queen bed. The problem with making big quilts is trying to get good photos. The slightest breeze does this:

Ugh!

Here are some detail shots.

I’m really glad I went back and added more appliqué to the center block.

I used a plain backing and the quilting shows up beautifully.

It fits my bed perfectly!

Now it is ready to send off to Lori at Humble Quilts  for the First Friday show in Oregon in May. I just have to find a really big box.

Have a great day

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!

…..holding my new grandbaby to be quilting. So here are a few random star quilts made a long time ago. Enjoy!

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!

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!

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!
