Sailing Away

This quilt started as a sailboat quilt but ended up with no sailboats on the front!  The imagine quality isn't the best with my phone but it will have to do for now.  These pictures remind me of a flip book.  

The pattern is Slide Show by Atkinson Designs. It was super simple!  I am a big fan of Terry Atkinson's patterns. 

More Baby Quilts

These two have been quilted and one has been delivered. This first one used a left over Dresden plate from a previous baby quilt. 

Two Baby Quilts... Swoon

I have not posted in so long!!  I have some catching up to do... Starting with two baby quilts that are ready to be delivered.

I love the swoon block with the chevrons.   I am sure I will be making this one again. 

I didn't plan to piece the back but it needed to be longer. It was a happy accident. 

Half square triangle have endless possibilities!

Today was the first time I photographed quilts on the snow. It was a challenge. 

I am linking up to finish it up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts. 

One, Two, Buckle My Shoe...

I finished not one, not two, but three baby quilt tops! This last one was the most involved!! I need to add the words to Old MacDonald and then it will be ready for quilting! The wind didn't corporate for an outside picture so we went inside. I added t pictures of the other two tops as well.

I put the last seam in the top just after midnight, so I guess it can count as a Friday finish! Linking up with Finish it up Friday for the first time!!

First Farm Friends Top Complete

My quilt holder suggested that I get the right angle so you can see the cows in the background.

Completed Top

I will post a few more pictures tomorrow.

Dresden Plates

I was back and forth between machine appliqué and hand appliqué. I know how I want it quilted so I was worried about the top stitching from doing it by machine but I ultimately decided to go with machine appliqué. I am glad I did, it is so much faster and I really like the top stitching.

Lesson Learned:
Leave the block flat while pinning it to prevent extra fabric from gathering behind the plate.

Fabric Delivery

The UPS man dropped off this box yesterday- I need to finish current projects so I can get started with this cute stuff! The line is Farm Friends by Jamie Wood for Clothworks. Happy July 4th!
