Scrap Quilt

Hi friends!
I worked on this a little yesterday, just added two more rows to it.

Added this one!

Added a row to three sides and maybe i will add another today . With this their is another row after the one i am working on. It will be a very big block, four should make a good sized lap quilt. It may takeake 6, i am a long way from finding out

I have been practicing on this but my hand quilting stitches still look like Morse code, dot- dash
dot-dash. Don't know if i will ever get good at it.
I have a feeling she is going to want us to make a block by hand soon and mine will look awful!
I am going to have to make me another practice piece and work on it some more!
At least i am learning something new to me.
Have a good one

!2 3 inch Square Blocks

Hi friends!
Think i will just do carpenter stars, if i don't run across some thing i just love.
I cut for it Sat. and added a little after i turned it into a star.

Just added this to it, This quilt owner loves pink.
We will see how this one looks before i decide how to go.
It's so dry her !

Most of our yard looks like this! That's my foot!

With these temp's we may dry up and blow away!
Have a Good one

Scrap Quilt

Hi friends!
I printed off two patterns that i like. However one would require finding 3 inch squares to march on all four sides. Don't know whether i have some left of each of these. I am still looking for a pattern to go with my 12 patch blocks.
These are just in the running.

I would hate to take 2 squares from each of the four sides to replace them.
To much trouble!!!!
I will keep looking until Sunday and then i will make up my mind.

Got a big basket from the garden this morning.
Got to get busy and make pickles, ours are just about gone that i made year before last.
Have a great weekend

Looking For A Block Pattern

Hi friends!
I am working on a scrap quilt!
Looking for just the right block pattern to make it a pretty quilt.
I have saved some that i like and soon i will try the one i like best.

Have you every seen this block?
It makes a pretty secondary block to.

Mother-in-law made this years ago but didn't get it sandwiched. All hand stitched!
So i plan to finish one of her old quilt tops for each one of Tommy's girls for a Christmas present. I will post more later about them
.Have a good one.

Yesterday

Hi friends!
I finished it last week but gave it to his Nana yesterday and she took it home to him.

Got a message last night that they loved it. Maybe he did to!

All but one daughter managed to come and spend some time with their daddy.
He really enjoys seeing them.
Have a good one

Hi friends!
I am still working on this, slowly but surely!

i will start canning pretty soon and that will slow down my quilting.
You can't can squash that i have found so it's not time yet.
We are getting a few cumumbers and peppers but having to go to Cooks to get our tomato's.

Bentley's quilt

Hi friends!
It's in the washer now, just looked at my pictures and every one is fogged over but this one.
See, none of them are sharp , it fogged over before i could get a picture , with me wiping the lens.

You just walk outside right now with a camera and it fogs over.
But all i need to do now is finish washing all the things kids don't need to breath out and sew on a label.
Should be finished by tomorrow.
I think my next one will be for David , my youngest grandson. He has one i made him years ago.  His was the first one i made !
So you know he needs a better one.
Have a great weekend

No where near finished yet but i will work on it today.
I went to Demi's shower Sat.

Kelly did a good job of making it a success
She got a lot of great things for Olivia , just 5 more weeks until she gets here.

The kids there didn't know why she was opening gifts!

Have a good one

Bentley's Quilt

Hi friends!
I pinned this together yesterday!
I used the glue kind of battening so you pin then iron it good to make it stick.

Now all i like is the quilting and binding and washing.  I always wash before giving them away because of the chemicals they put in there. They can't be good for you.. Sure don't want them making my g-g's sick! This being a twin size it  went fast. It should fit a toddler bed or a twin . Bentley  is crazy about his John Deer,  tractor so maybe he will like this.
By next week end I hope to be finished with it.
Have a great weekend

Bentley's Big Boy Quilt

Hi friends!
I managed to cut enough to add a small tractors strip on the top and bottom.

I am down to just mostly scraps now.

Added the last strip , dark green, all around so now i have a twin sized quilt top.
Maybe i can get it sandwiched soon, got a busy  rest of the week.
It's a little late because he's birthday was in February!
I still like one G-g's big boy  quilt  and that's Eli, Kim and Alex's second son. Just found out she is expecting again so another g-g baby quilt is being planned.
With our 23 grands and only 8 of them old enough to get married and start having babies i have my work cut out for me for years to come.
Have a good one

Bentely's Big Boy Quilt.

Hi friends!
I nearly forgot the white but to echo the blocks i needed it.

Then the light green, but next i want to use up the rest of the tractor's.

I got two outside borders but i don't think i have enough to do the top and bottom.
Today i will see but these were small strips that i cut  to make the borders . If i just add the dark green it should be about the right size.
We will see but i almost have a quilt top.
Have a good one

Bentley's Big Boy Quilt

Hi friends!
Three more blocks for his quilt and i think this will cover the top of a twin bed.

I laid them out and figured out how wide my saching should be.

I think the first border will be light green. Maybe i can get that done today!
It's 41 by 70 and mattress size says 39 by 75
Well got to get to work
Have a good one
