Finishing

After much thought I finally have figured out how I'm putting this alphabet quilt together.   Once again motivated and sewing the squares together!  Phew, that took a couple of weeks. 

Faris Quilt Finish

Here's the finish on the Faris Quilt.  

Front

Pieced Back :)

I learned to like solids making this quilt, solids really pack a punch showing off the quilting. 

The idea for the castle is from this Sand Castle Quilt at Chasing Cottons, another great blog. 

 Happy Weekend!

Reily Quilt Finish

Well, it's been so long since I posted, I had to think about my password... but I guess it's just like a bicycle...

I finished up the Reily Quilt a couple of weeks ago and it has moved on to it's new home in Oregon.

I free motion quilted with stars and swirls and bound in yellow polka dots on a blue background.  The binding really had that shazam factor going.

Sideways, you get the idea though.

I have a new project started and new fabric to share, back soon!

Finish! Dia de Los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos is now officially classified as a finish!  Pieced and designed by the Kelly Girl Quilter and expertly quilted by Judy Irish.  The quilting is fabulous!  I am linking up to the Bloggers' Quilt Festival to show it off!

Judy's quilting just adds the finishing touches; skeletons, flowers, houses, stars, applique and FMQ, it doesn't get much better than that in my book!

I love the way it's heavily stitched to make the

flower really POP, and the intricate design...sigh!

Sugar Skulls...

                          

Skeletons...

In the making...

Quilt Top...

Back.. Skeletons in my Closet...lots of stash here.

and a bright pink binding.

Good Friday morning, look at all the nice Nevada sunshine today!  I ran out to take these pictures before work... I forgot yesterday morning.

I'll take some more quilting pictures when I have a kinder

 afternoon sun and you can see the texture a bit better.

I thought about a gold binding, but decided to stay with blue.

and... the back is a panel of the solar system, the stars glow in the dark.  I usually go with a pieced back, but fell in love with this panel!

Yay, a finish! and it's Friday!

Cort's Quilt... Finished!

Finished this up about a month ago and put it on Cort's bed... then remembered that it had never been shown as a finished product!  Here it is... I wish I had "fussy cut" those squares with the sports figures.... live and learn...

 

Simple stars and swirl pattern, I had this one quilted by a local longarm quilter.

With Orange thread!

Solid Red Binding, I have become quite fond of those solids.

Off to stitch!

Under the Weather

Feeling a bit under the weather this weekend with the sniffles, so I took it easy and hand sewed the bindings on three quilts.  Here's two of them, pieced by a friend's mother, then lovingly stored by her daughter-in-law for 16 years, and finally, COMPLETE!

Hexie Quilt

Hexie's quilted with a meander...

Light blue binding and small flower back.

Sailboat Quilt

Also quilted in an all-over meander.

Bright blue binding, green back.


2 out of 5 completed, 3 more in progress.
