Update on Sarah's Quilt...The Front is Sewn!

My Trusty Vintage Bernina and Me...Sewing Merrily Away...ZZZZZzzzzzzzz ZZZZzzzzz

Here's the Final Combo Before Sewing it Together
Talk about Rubics Cube De Javu...

Aren't these Fabrics Fab?
Love them.
Sarah did also.
She can't wait for her Quilt to come Home.

The Front All Sewn Up
Now, need to get the Back fabric.
Thinking the Light Aqua.
For Border, thinking a darker blue.
Orange and Aqua Blue...a Perfect combo.

For Sarah's Birthday party this past Saturday, I made a Mini Quilt of 9 pieces of the Fabrics I'm using on her Quilt. A sneak peek. Sarah LoVed it! She can't wait to get the Real thing. I'm jazzed about this quilt. Love the colors. Love Love Love it. I'm already thinking about creating my own Quilt.

Tip to Remember: Pin the Squares so the Squares MATCH up. Eeeeek! I had to rip apart the 1st Long Row from the 2nd row bc I didn't even think of this until sewing the 2nd & 3rd Row. Luckily, I thought of this on the 2nd Row. So, a small lesson.

When I was figuring out where to put the Squares, I again almost lost my mind. But, I kept pushing forward until I came up with a Look that I LoVed. No second guessing. There's too many variations that you can do. I came up with the One that my Eyes LoVEd...and that's it. Sew it before I change my mind.

I'm thinking a Light Aqua for the Back Fabric. A Darker Rich Blue OR Magenta for the Border. Pulling those colors from the existing blocks. Thinking to "Stitch in the Ditch" since the Squares are pretty prominent. Any thoughts?

Glutton for Punishment...My 2nd Quilt for my SIL's Birthday

One of my favorite prints
by Anna Maria Horner

Yes, I'm back. Sorry, my life has been a "bit" busy. Bad me. But now, I'm back again. Doing it again. A Second Quilt. This time for my SIL Sarah for her birthday. I'm going to have to give her some photos bc it won't be ready in time for her party this weekend.

Today, I cut all the pieces and placed the 60 pieces into squares of 3 pieces each. For a moment, I thought I actually Lost my Mind! Eeeek! Have you ever felt like that? My mind was literally spinning as I looked at the different combinations I created and tried to imagine it altogether. Then, I pulled myself together and was satisfied with my puzzle pieces combos. Now, I have to sew them together.

Different combos lying all over the place!

Is the room spinning?

My Squares were all over the place!
Tables, floor, chair, couch, footstool...

Love the prints and the colors.
Sarah's favorite color nowadays is Orange...I think.
I know she'll LoVe it.

Stay tuned...I'll have more on my quilting progress soon. Promise!
