Here is another top by Stitching Sister, Nadine. I have no pattern info, but I sure do love it!
Here is the pant that I used from Urban Elementz .
I really like this one. It’s pretty quick to stitch out and I love the combination of points and curves.
Have a great day!

While running errands one day last week, I found myself near a thrift shop I hadn’t been to in a while. I spotted this little crib quilt and had to bring it home.
I love that aqua! And these embroideries are so sweet!
Interestingly, the quilting, done in yellow thread, extends into the binding.
Upon closer inspection, it appears that the whole quilted edge was turned to the back for a self binding of sorts. It was machines stitched with the same yellow thread.
I gave it a careful hand wash, which seems rather silly. This quilt has no doubt been used hard and washed often!
My quilt collection is outgrowing my house, but I just couldn’t leave this behind. I imagine a momma or grandma from years past stitching in anticipation of a sweet babe and it pulls at my heart. I have known this anticipation and feel a certain kinship with the maker.
Have a sweet day!
After looking at these blacks all last week, I decided to just sew them together.
I was thinking about adding borders, but then I found the perfect backing in my stash. If I didn’t add borders, I could use the backing without piecing it. How’s that for logic?
So it’s on the frame and I’m thinking about quilting designs.
I think sometimes I just have to move forward and finish something to clear my head space for something else.
Have a great day!
Remember this? I’m still working on it here and there.
I’m getting close to the end and really want to finish it by the end of the month.
I just have four more white blocks, the half claret blocks next to them, and that narrow border to hand quilt.
You can see the quilting better here.
I need to start thinking about binding. Have a great day!
I really enjoyed seeing the animals in Iceland. Sheep are very common and a leading cause of car accidents!
The number of reindeer has decreased in recent years, but we saw a few herds.
The horses are beautiful and everywhere! They are smaller than most horses.
We saw puffins, but not up close.
I think my favorites were the seals.
We actually were able to get quite close. They were so fun to watch! They are quite playful.
This is Morris. He is a border collie that has retired from search and rescue work. He now lives at one of the campgrounds we stayed at. I fell in love and would have brought him home, if I could have!
Have a great day!
I didn’t need to have this quilt finished until July, but I’m glad it is done and ready to go.
Did you guess that I went with the Hypnotic pantograph?
I like the juxtaposition of the straight lines in the blocks and the quilted swirls.
I am also pleased that it looks masculine and modern.
Have a great day!
Linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict
This lovely QOV was pieced by Nadine from our Stitching Sisters group.
This is the panto I used. I just got this from Urban Elementz and I think it is a new favorite!
Have a great day!

I picked up some QOVs to quilt this week! I love quilting these up. This one was made by Candy for our Stitching Sisters group.
This panto is called Modern Waves 3. I think it works so well on these jelly roll quilts. Getting ready to load the next one!
Have a great day!
The grad top is done. Time to decide on the quilting.
These are the pantos I’m considering. They are all from Urban Elementz .
Hmmmmm…..
Have a great day!

I’m back to work on the grad quilt. After I placed the rectangles, I added the strips. 
And I’m nearly finished piecing these blocks. I wish I had made the strips narrower, but that’s a lesson for next time.
In case you are interested, I cut the original rectangles 9 inches by 10 inches. The rectangles were cut 2 inches by 10 inches. I cut the Large rectangles into two pieces by making a slice 3 inches from one side and inserting the strip. Easy peasy!
Have a great day!
