I wasn't sure that I'd do any sewing today. I woke up feeling pretty terrible :p I made breakfast for all my boys (hubby too) and then headed out to visit my dad at the hospital. He is doing well :) When I got home I gave this quilt to my very dear friend, Jill
Once I got home, I dragged the boys to the store to buy some grey fabric for my Retro Flower Quilt back ground. It's gonna look AWESOME! I am so excited to get that cut out and sewn. WHEN WILL THE PACKAGE COME WITH MY INVISI-GRIP!!!????
Anyway, as the evening wore on, I suddenly decided to get to work on Austin's quilt... well, I thought I was just going to cut it out, but here is what happened....
 |
| I cut it out and then sewed up all of the blocks.... |
 |
| Then I sewed up the blocks into rows.... and then the rows into a top :) |
 |
| This is the best shot of the colors. |
 |
| Next came the stop border. |
 |
| ....and then finally the outer border. |
I am pretty happy about this finish :) Tomorrow I will buy the batting and backing and get this bad boy quilted & bound on Saturday. It is only a little quilt, 50x60. I am going to back it with brown minky. It's pretty much going to ROCK!!!
I am linking this post up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict WHOOP WhOOP!!
and Crazy Mom Quilts finish it up Friday!!!
Austin's quilt is 'cool'! nice work :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) those colors are very cool, especially together. There is a kelp print and a sand dollar one. Both remind me of days on the chilly california coast where i grew up. The brown minky on the back should cuddle it up nicely. :)
DeleteJill's quilt is beautiful and WAY TO GO on Austin's!! I don't get that much done in one day when I wake up feeling GOOD!! Great job! :-)
ReplyDeleteKat, you are so sweet. Thank you so much! I hate days when I don't feel good. I mostly have to just pretend that I feel great and then pretty soon I do :)
Deletewow you are speedy on the Austin quilt. I love the fabric and colour of it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Cathy! It's a really speedy pattern... and my hubby works late on Thursdays so I can sew to my hearts content :) I used to hate Thursday nights until I started quilting!
DeleteLove the colors of Austin's quilt. With that brown minky on the back it is going to be soooo snuggly :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue! Isn't minky the best! I should start buying it by the bolt ;D
DeleteLove the orange and Aqua and the brown minky is going to make it so cuddly.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :) Those colors are so happy!
DeleteGreat colors for Austin. I love using minky for the backing too. My kids request it often.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was told that minky rocked, and now its the only thing I use :) I had to back a minky in something else and it just seemed so cold and WRONG ;)
Deletegreat colors
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leslie! :)
DeleteWhat a great quilt! Love the colors and isn't it fun to get one done so quickly? Whoop whoop!!
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah! Thank you :) Yes, it feels great to speed through a project!
DeleteLove the quilt and the colors, they are in real even better, I like to think so :-). My first time visiting your blog, it is fun! I like your diet philosophy, maybe it works for me too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is cuter in person :) thank you for stopping by :) I love the dolls on your blog! Those clothes would have come in handy when my girls were little ;)
