Yea for a flimsy!

The little grand isn't a little baby anymore....how can this be...

Cool...just like her dad!

Customer quilt finished.

I quilted wonky feathers all-over using a green thread. 

****

Another co-worker has landed in the hospital and so I was asked to make a quilt.

I thought perhaps I'd make the Swoon pattern.  It's one I've been just itching to make.

So I got the pattern.  

But decided perhaps the blocks were a bit big. 

 I  re-drafted and made a sample block and although I love the block either bigger or smaller, I nixed the plan on using it. 

Truth be told I want to make it for ME!!!!

I added the borders on the sample block and now have a 20 inch square Pillow!

yea.  

I decided on an 8-pointed star block for the gift quilt. I'm using hst so they're going together quickly.

The blocks finish 16 inches and I have the pieces all cut for 6 more blocks.

I'm using a FQ bundle from Minick and Simpson called Bar Harbor.  I've had it in the stash for a while so it's time to use it up. 

*******

I did re-load my Jonquils & Stars quilt and did a background in all the blocks and I have the binding sewn on.  

AND THEN my thumb split AGAIN!  

(dang you dry winter air.)

So I have three sides to hand stitch but with the thumb wrapped in two band aids I'm having a heck of a time.  I haven't had a chance to take more photos and  before I do, I would like to do a little searching on how to take better quilt photos since they never show the quilts and quilting like I want them too.  It's very frustrating to me.  I just need MORE TIME...aggggghhhh

:(

*******

I have run out of the light grey fabric for this modern baby quilt so it's done!

I have the blocks sewn into rows of two so far.

I made the 'bull's eye' off center by a row-just to be rebellious-ha! 

The row of leftover blocks at the bottom I will sew into the back. 

I love it.

*****

In an effort to get my flimsy's done, I loaded my Metro Medallion quilt.

 I am going to use rulers on this one too-gotta use 'em if I'm ever going to be good and comfortable with them.  

I do like the precise results I can get with them.  

I know it's just practice, practice, practice! 

--and a good deal of frogging--

But dang I'm impatient, impatient, impatient. :)

There's that time issue again!

******

and look who's 2 month's old already! 

Sleeping like a baby!

Be-still my heart. 

Life is so good!
