I really Like how this turned out. I have one more to quilt the homecoming quilt, then I’ll be at a point to start something new. I have quite a few on my want to do list. Since I gave all my fabric away and then bought new fabric I think I think I need to stop buying anymore and use Up what I have!
This sweet quilt is ready to leave home! Next up will be Strip Cocktail, need to quilt it and find some binding. Leaving Homecoming for later, still can’t decide how to quilt it…
I finally sewed the seams and put the binding on this jacket …it will feel good come autumn
All sewn together, need to press the row seams open something I don’t like doing cause I always burn my fingers! Amazing this is made with just 2-1/2” strips…
I’m thinking of which quilt on my list to do next, I still want to make the two Bonnie Hunter mystery quilts I missed, on the first page of this blog, Indigo Way and Old Town. I bought fabric for both and actually started the first clue on both of them. I may have used some of that fabric for other things but mostly all is still available. Since indigo way is the newest maybe I’ll start with this one. But I’m going to make a smaller size which I’ve never done, mainly because I’m no good at quilt math! Hopefully I can figure it out as I go along…
Well, this has been an interesting day working on the homecoming quilt at one point yesterday, after I had all the pieces cut out, I looked at it and thought how is this ever going to go together? And then I realized if I named the pieces and then named on the pattern where the pieces went, then I should be able to put it together. I made a lot of mistakes, I cut two squares wrong and had to redo them. But I think I’ve got it figured out. And looking back it looks like it was easy. It’s really easy to make a mistake! I ran out of room on the design wall so went to the floor (Photos in reverse order) tomorrow will sew this together!
This is kind of a mystery how it comes together, it’s probably not as complicated as it looks
Here it is, I do like it especially the white, a color I usually don’t like. Now to find a backing…
For my next project I’d like to do the one on my side bar, Homecoming. I purchased the fabric about 2 years ago as a donation after a disaster, hurricane I think. The fabric is gorgeous and includes the backing
