SIMPLY COLOR - A FINISH

The original post about this quilt is here. Now that it's quilted I wanted to show it again, just because.

 This was it in December

and after quilting

I love the texture it has now.

I wish I could take the credit for the lovely free motion quilting but my skills consist of wavy lines and pebbles. Credit goes to Linda. She did little 'explosions' all over.

The backing fabric is a Mary Engelbreit print that I thought was perfect. Binding is a plum solid from the Simply Color line.

I am very very happy with this quilt. Thank you Linda for helping me get this one finished up so it can be used : )

CIRCLES OF SIMPLY COLOR

At least a year ago, I purchased a pattern from Prairie Grass Patterns. Last month I decided to start making it . I printed off the template and got to work. I soon discovered that my template was far too big so I e-mailed April to ask about it. She suggested I might have had my printer set wrong and therefore printed off the wrong size. She was right of course.
 Having already purchased a Simply Color layer cake, I wanted to use it without any waste, so I asked hubby to make me a new template. After a few calculations, it was peddle to the floor!

My stack of snowballs grew pretty quick and I started to see the pattern come together.

I made 12 blocks consisting of 8 snowballs each. The quilt measures approximately 50 x 65

Once again my daughter and I went out in search of interesting places to take a few pictures. I love this old shed.

This particular photo shoot cost me a medium French Vanilla AND a box of doughnuts!

Across the road there are two old rail cars so we went there too.

This is such a pretty line of fabric. I'm glad I used it for this quilt. I'm thinking this pattern elevates the humble snowball to a whole new level.

Thanks for stopping by again. Happy stitching to you!
