I finished this top and got it loaded up on the long arm.
This is the panto I’m using. It is available from Urban Elementz .
As you can see, the backtracking part of this isn’t easy. This is why I like to try out new pantos on baby quilts!
I’ll be able to show a finish soon!
Have a great day!

I received this little jelly roll as a freebie a while back. While waiting for the long arm parts, I decided to make a baby quilt out of it. There were only 24 strips and that included two white and two cream.
I set the cream strips aside.
I made some strip sets and set some aside for a scrappy binding.
I ended up with this. Too small for a baby quilt. But it could be added onto. Now, horizontal?
Or vertical?
I’ve already decided! I’ll share this finish soon.
Have a great day!
All the comments on my Pinterest post yesterday gave me such a good laugh! Thanks to all of you!
We had a garage sale here this weekend. They are so much work! Every time I say I’ll never do it again…… Anyway, I’m very much looking forward to a bit of slow stitching on the binding of the wedding quilt this afternoon.
I really love this backing fabric.
I only have one side left to stitch. Yay!
Have a beautiful day!
You know I try to tackle one Pinterest project a month.
I noticed that more and more often, Pinterest “suggests” posts for me. I find this rather annoying most of the time. But one popped up last week that required only one supply.
And since I had just changed the roll, I had one on hand. So I decided to try it out.
Can you even guess what this is supposed to be? It turned out harder than it looked.
This is supposed to look like a face! Lol! I would call this a total Pinterest fail! This is how they turn out if you know what you are doing.
They are still ugly! Why did I do this? Who knows? It amused me for all of ten minutes. And then it went into the recycle bin. Clearly, I need to stick to quilts.
Have a great day!
I have another finished Quilt of Valor!
This was a pretty quick finish once I decided on the layout. It is just 8 inch quarter square triangle blocks.
I’ve had this backing fabric for ages. I remember I bought enough to back two quilts. Sadly, by the time I squared it up, I only had enough for one. I wish I had paid attention when it was cut.
Have a great weekend!

Time to see how well I did on the goals I set for myself this month.
1. I must start and finish the wedding quilt for my niece. Almost Done! I will share soon. I just have to finish the binding and label.
2. Quilt any QOVs that come in. Due to the long arm snafu, I didn’t take any tops this month.
3. Make one item from my Pinterest boards. Done! I made this little quilt from vintage fabric. 
4. Make a pillow for a grad gift. I’ve had the pattern for 9 months now. Not done! I sent something else. This might end up a house warming gift for her in a few months!
5. Finish the Quilt of Valor that I started piecing last fall. Done!
What else did I do?
I completed a baby quilt that I will share soon.
I made this jelly roll quilt.
I made another mini.
And I made another QOV that I will share tomorrow.
Heading into June now….
1. Quilt any QOVs that come in.
2. Make a quilt for Little L who will be turning three the end of this month.
3. Make a couple donation quilts.
4. Make one item from my Pinterest boards.
5. Finish my Puss in the Corner quilt.
That’s probably more than enough. Have a great day!
I have a road trip coming up next week. So I went looking for something small to hand quilt while traveling. I found this little foundation pieced bit that would make a lovely little doll quilt.
This little block could also make a sweet little doll quilt.
I also came across these blocks. I love these! But those faded bits bothered me.
So I did a bit of rearranging and added some pieces of vintage blue to fill in.
This now measures about 24 by 32 inches. It’s rather wonky, but I’m totally okay with that. I think it will be charming once it’s quilted. Time to baste and figure out the quilting design.
Have a great day!
My hour glass QOV top is pieced and on the frame!
This is the panto I am using and it is available from Urban Elementz .
I like how it’s coming along!
Have a great day!

I had hope to spend time slow stitching the binding on this quilt today. But instead of quilting, I’ve been enjoying family. I did decide on the sashing design.
Yep, feathers. I’m so predictable! But I do love it. Mr. Wonderful and I picked up these two cuties and took them to lunch the other day. Gosh, I love them so!
Have a great day!
