Working my way around

 Lone Star is coming along nicely!  So many strings to bury  I wonder why you can’t see the quilting when you zoom in.  Something about the photo I took wasn’t right…

Lupine and laughter sandwiched and ready to quilt

 Wow this is such a big quilt to handle. I was tuckered out after positioning, spray basting and trimming. Then dry ironing both sides. But I’m sure glad that part is done, been putting it off long enough. Next I have to find a backing for my QOV quilt, then both it and Lone Star quilt will be ready to assemble and quilt. I hope my old Bernina is up to the task!

QOV top

 This one is ready to find a backing and quilting.  This makes 4 quilts this year, 3 left to quilt…

Lone star top

 This is ready to put together and quilt it. So fun making it, sometime I’ll make another one…

Two halves

 Ready to sew this together…kinda tricky all the bias edges….i guess there is good and bad about bias!

New project, Lone Star

 I’ve always wanted to make a Lone star quilt.  I bought the kit from a place called Plains and pine. When I first read the directions, I thought I don’t understand. But after watching half a dozen videos, I jumped in and gave it a try. It is so easy and so fun.  Since the strips are 2.5” you could use a jelly roll. Fun times!  I just made 2 more big diamonds  after 8 are made I’ll add background triangles to finish 

Webbing the top and Sewing it all together

 I’m going to do half at a time so as to not get mixed up…ha!
