Swoon quilt

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
My last block to finish out the top of the quilt.

 

I have been playing with pieces to see how I want the border to look.  I am still undecided!
If I use the first lay out I will have to put tops on them and that should make it wide enough to fall a good 12 inches on each side.
I put the last 2 blocks together to make a sandwich yesterday and will quilt them today.
Get them added on to the other 4 blocks and then I can see whether I need a small border  for the top and bottom and see how much border I need on the sides.
Have a great weekend friends.

Nearly a Flimsy

You see how big is it going to be!!
I am going to my borders out of left over fat quarters in this line  so I will be queen sized for our bed.
Next I am going to make a exploding star for Missy lou!!
Just need on more fabric to get started on her's
Having computer problems so this is old pictures and short.

Sixth Block

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!

I got two more blocks quilted yesterday  Hope to get them joined  and add them to the other 2 i already did
sometime today!
I am hoping this way will be easier than doing a big quilt .

This is the start of the last block  [ i hope]

These two joined together has a little over hang on a queen sized bed.
 So i am going to make a border at least on the sides, some time next week.
Have a great week end friends.

5th block finished

Hi friends!
Rainy day!
I finished my 5th block!
I think i am just doing one more, that will cover the top of a queen sized bed.  Then i will think about borders!!!
I love that light green and dark green!!
Still looking for the fabric for my next one, thought about blue and red but i have one of those already.
I will come back later this week with ,i hope, two more quilted and by then i hope to have chosen my next one. I am getting excited about finishing it.
Have a great day friends.

1/3 of a quilt!

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
I finished quilting that yellow and brown block then i did the blue and red and joined them together.
Now i have one third of a quilt.!!
I may put borders on the side or i may put pinwheels. The size it will be when i get all six together will be plenty long enough but will need some fall on the sides.
I will look to see if i can find any thing but maybe a solid would work!
I am leaning to pin wheels!
May not have any fabric i could use.
That's the problem when you use fat quarters.
What i have left is in the same family so if i don't make pin wheels i want have enough for the sides.
Well i will figure it out!
Have a great weekend friends.

Started Quilting

Hi friends!
Beautiful but cold!
I am going to sandwich and quilt each block , this is the first.

Got it done last night and was ready to start this morning.

I am straight line quilting and leaving a inch or more on the edges so i can join them together. Need to do another so i can try it as see how it goes..
I may use a saching in the middles so i am leaving a inch or two of battening on each edge.
I will let you know how it goes later this week , i hope.
Have a wonderful day.

Start of another block

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
Love this one!!
I think i am going to try quilt as you go with these blocks, wish me luck!
i see other blogger's doing it  so i am going to try.  The blocks are 29 inches and i haven't decided whether i want sashing or not. One day this week i will come back with pictures of me quilting them..
This is the 5th block, that will make 87 inches in length when i add another but only 58 inches across so i may have to do three more to make a queen sized quilt for our bed
I am really loving these colors playing off each other.
When i get them all done i will decide whether to add sashing, it may need it to make it big enough.
Have a great day friends.

Another block

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
I made this Sunday and keep working on it until i had this

Though i was through but then took a good look and took it back down and took it apart.
If you don't like ripping out seams with "Jack the Ripper" you shouldn't be a quilter.

Now it's right and i can move on to my next block!!!

This will be my next block, it's light green and dark green.
Have a great day all my friends.
