The Black & White Zig Zag Quilt is Finished :)

I am so happy my black and white bricks quilt finished.  I attended my first meeting of the Broadbent's Modern Quilt Group in Lehi this morning.  It was SO fun to meet the ladies.  There were so many cute quilts and GREAT versions of the black and white bricks.
I had a few errands to run and then got home about 1.  I started to baste the quilt about then.  I had it quilted and bound by 9.  I did run a few more errands and fixed dinner, bathed the boys and tucked them in too ;)  Now to clarify, by cooking dinner, I mean getting my 10 year old to put the left over Chicken Carbonara in the microwave :)  They ate it all so I had a brownie for dinner ;)  My hubby went to the REAL game and I should really come up with another sewing project for tonight ;D

 

 

My name :)  This is my version of a lable.

I LOVE the binding :)  It is from Flea Market Fancy.  The green is PERFECT ;D

Of course, I used minky for the back.  I had this pink and thought it would be perfect with the black and white.

 

 

 

We are linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts today for Finish it Up Friday :)

LOTS of photos!

So first things first, I had tons of chores to do, starting with this HUGE pile of clean laundry to fold.  I made myself a deal, 10 minutes of folding laundry, 60 minutes of fun with fabric :)  Here are the pictures of my progress ;D

This is my piles all finished.  It's as good as it ever looks ;D  It feels good to have this out of the way... for a few days, or maybe minutes ;) (the stuff in the green basket is folded.. socks and undies)

A SUPER cool package came today :)  It is my Going Coastal fabric.  Isn't it cute???

A stack of PURE joy!

Now for the quilting :)  Since I don't have the backing for Reagan's quilt, I decided to work on the zig zag quilt for Broadbent's Modern Quilt Guild.  My first meeting is this saturday and I want to have this quilted.  I am going to put pink minky on the back.

 Because the quilt blocks are on point, when they are trimmed at the edges, they edges are on the bias and tend to end up a bit wonky.  I asked Konda how I could maybe help this problem.  She suggested spray starch.  It seemed to work REALLY well.  This is the kind I used.  I won it at the Creative Sewing quilting class last month.
