The Barnyard's are DONE! :D

It was a VERY busy sewing day :)  I like it that way!  First I sewed the binding on the Stars of the Barnyard quilt and then finished it off by hand.  I really like the hand sewing part!

Up in the tree with the blossoms :)

So, the upside down Little Tikes picnic table in all of my pics is starting to crack me up ;)

Stars in the Barnyard is just relaxing on the porch ;D

Once I got this baby done, I started on the Baby Barnyard quilt.  The Baby Barnyard is made from scraps from the Stars of the Barnyard quilt...even the back.  I made 1.5" red gingham sashing and a 3" border, also in gingham.  I did have to make the two little blocks on either side of the animal block in the center.  They were a bit more difficult than I thought they would be :p  In keeping with my frugal goal, I went totally scrappy for the binding.  There were two fabrics from the Stars of the barnyard that I did not use in the Stars of the Barnyard quilt that I used here in the Baby Barnyard.  They were too girly for the little boy for whome the Stars of the Barnyard is for.  Here is the photo shoot.

I am linking this post up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict WHOOP WhOOP!!
and Crazy Mom Quilts finish it up Friday!!!

So here is what is left for the week.....

For the rest of the week I have got a bunch to do....

#1 Bind the Stars of the Barnyard!

I quilted this yesterday and now it needs binding TODAY!!! ;D  It's got to be ready to head to Seattle tomorrow.

You can see my  name upside down and backwards in the minky

#2 I've got to get the Baby Barnyard quilt done before my cousins baby shower Friday night.  It shouldn't be a problem.

I consulted with Becky at Morganson's yesterday and decided to do small red gingham sashing in between the blocks and have a red gingham out side border with brown dot binding.  I've got brown minky for the back.  I may need to piece the back with a little blue barnyard animals ;)

#3 the Zig Zag tote from the Zakka Style Sew along for my sons teachers birthday on Friday.

#4 Finish cutting out the Retro Flower quilt!

#5 Get the Cherry Cherry Picnic QUILTED!!!  I've got the back, now I just need the time :)  I think I can fit it in...

Thanks to Freshly Pieced for helping me get organized :)

I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced today :)

A Wonky Log Cabin for the Baby Barnyard

I made a 14+" wonky log cabin to cut up into 7" blocks to intermix in the quilt.  I need to make sides for the animal panel in the middle.  I've also got to figure out a border, binding and back....
 

 

 

 

Barnyard Stars Topped!

The "Stars of the Barnyard" top is finished :)  I'm sorry these pictures aren't very good :(  I have got to figure this picture taking stuff out! ...it might help if I had a good camera....  but I'd rather spend money on fabric ;D

My quilt has feet ;)

The close up shows the colors much better.

When I finished the quilt top, I started to work on a baby quilt with the left over fabric for my cousins baby shower next week.

The  row of animals will be in the center of the quilt.
Oh, and I have an appointment to get my sewing machine serviced Monday morning.  He should be able to have it done first thing Monday morning so I can get back to quilting asap :)
