A Quilting We Will Go…

Yesterday was a fun day – got to spend it working on some quilting projects…
First up:
My Cornish Quilters Charity block is the above star block. We made this one 12-1/2 inches instead of our normal size which is about 10-1/2 inches. I made two blocks and they will be going into a quilt for the mother of one of our members. She furnished the white and we each furnished some sort of blue fabric. They turned out really nice.
Second up:
From my Class The Craftsy Block of the Month with Amy Gibson
January – Block No. 1 - Asterisk Block
January – Block No. 2 – Wonky Pound Sign Block
Both of these blocks were a bit of a challenge for me…I am not used to just cutting fabric and adding fabric to it and then cutting again … but I love the way the blocks turned out.
This will be a scrappy quilt – but each of the fabrics I use will have some orange in them. The white fabric will be used throughout the quilt.
Girls Night Out…

Last night we had a Girls Night Out at my local quilt shop, Four Pines Quilting. As always, a good time was had by all…
Brenda worked on her Butterfly quilt – all she has left to do are the borders!
Deb finished her heart wall hanging that we were given as part of our goodie bag…
And, I finished up a quilt that I had brought up from Tennessee six years ago. The top is all done.
Up close of some of the blocks….
Also finished the last block to a BOM quilt from Tennessee – The Nimble Thimble Quilt Shop. We moved to New Hampshire the month of the last block and I am just getting around to finishing up the project. I will be sashing this in a pretty mottled black and then adding a border of a dark pink. It will be very pretty when finished. I’ll get it done soon…
It’s Finished…

My beautiful bargello quilt is done! And, I could not be happier…
It measures 47 inches by 61 inches. Almost covers my bed – and once I get a pillowcase made from the backing fabric, the large border fabric and the binding/small border fabric – it will look great on the bed.
This was not an easy quilt for me to make – it took a lot of steps to make it – and I’m not usually that patient a person…but, I hung in there because it was looking beautiful and I knew the end result would be worth it!
