| This is the quilt the 5th ward is doing next week.... |
I had a ton to do today, so I didn't get sewing very early :( I did, however, stay up late last night sewing the rest of Ford's blocks up. Kate and I hit a few quilts shops today and eventually found three grey prints for the cute quilt I am doing for the 5th wards quilting class next week. It is supposed to look very different, but I have a habit of changing everything around to be another quilt all together. I wonder if they will toss me out of the class for being rouge every month ;) My first alteration came when I decided to use chenille for the hearts. Because chenille is so thick, I was going to just applique them straight over the block. Next I decided that I wanted it to be longer and a bit wider. Once I had it all altered and sewed, well the main panel anyway, I decided that I'd rather have flowers and no hearts. I'll add three more flowers tomorrow. I am saving this quilt to work on when the kids are awake.

My expanded version of the center panels. It still needs the final grey and pink borders.
PS- the back of this quilt will be grey minky. |
So, once the kiddo's went to sleep, I pulled out Ford's blocks to get them all trimmed. He can't see his birthday surprise :) They are going to be so cute! Yes, I do say "cute" a lot. I am having a serious love affair with fabric and quilting. It is making a much better mistress than food ;D
