Lots of travel with a bit of sewing summarizes this month! Still, I like what I got done. Two tops and a bunch of blocks.

This was a “prepared earlier” project that I shared this month. I knew I’d need some filler blog posts!

Have a great day!

Ta daaa!

My little quilt top finished at about 22 inches square.

It will eventually get a green binding.

If you are wondering how I hung this in the RV, I used this elastic clothesline with integrated clips. I love this thing! Might buy another for the sewing room.

Have a great day!

Since I shared my finished I Spy top last week, I thought I’d share this finish from last year that inspired it. This quilt was pieced from 2 1/2” cut squares. The I spy was made from 3 1/2” finished squares. Enjoy!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Leader/Ender

Posted on March 22, 2024 by katyquilts

I finished my leader/ender quilt.

I used an old favorite pantograph called Any Which Way.

I love the backing fabric. The sharks are so fun! It was supposed to be a sheet.

The binding was leftover from another project.

This last photo shows the truest color. 

This quilt will get donated to Project Linus. For some reason, my bin of 2 1/2” squares doesn’t look any emptier than when I started. 🤔

Have a great day!

I told you there was a lot to see! This post is all about the toys. 😊

This was such a neat display. The museum is housed in an old school building. As you open each locker, you see a toy and quilt or fabric from the decade written on the outside.

I hope this panoramic photo shows on the blog!

So much fun! Have a great day!

It’s coming together!

This was my inspiration quilt.

So far, so good! Have a great day!

After the I Spy quilt, I was ready to work on something smaller. This bin holds vintage 2” cut squares.

My plan is to make a small Boston Commons quilt, at least I think that’s what it’s called. Here is the center block.

And the start of the corners.

Have a great day!

I have all the quilting on the outer edge of this quilt done! Time for binding. I made the binding back in AZ and had it ready to go.

I attached it by machine before trimming. When I’m working with vintage tops, I don’t worry much about trying to get things perfectly square.

I ordered a walking foot from The Featherweight Shop and it was worth every penny!

Now, I have even more handwork to do!

Have a great day!

We borrowed my nephew’s truck while in Kansas. The pups prefer riding in Dora!

This looks like a great place to explore!

Winslow looks like she is laughing. 😂

I resemble this remark!

One of the most comforting and profound truths ever.

Have a great day!

My top is done! This ended up 61 by 75 inches.

The weather was not cooperative when I wanted to take photos. It is windy in Kansas!

I think this one may end up as a Christmas gift for a little boy I know.

Have a great day!

Here is a look back at a quilt with some of my favorite machine quilting work. I enjoy being on the road, but I do miss my long arm. 😊

Blogger’s Quilt Festival ~ Little Sister Quilt

Posted on October 23, 2015 by katyquilts

Here is my second entry into the Fall 2015 BQF. It is my Little Sister quilt and it is entered into the Small Quilt Category.

I used some leftover blocks from a larger quilt that I made for my older sister that can be seen here.

I had a lot of fun with the quilting on this one! It was my first time using curved crosshatch, but it won’t be the last. I also firmly believe that one can never have too many feathers on a quilt!
