BLOGGERS QUILT FESTIVAL SPRING 2015

Woot Woot! I got my Plus quilt finished.  Thanks to Debbie who told me the name is actually 'Inside Addition'.  I first saw one in progress over on Instagram by ' No Hats In The House ' and knew I needed to make myself one  : )

My son and I went downtown to take a few photos at an old school, but there was a bouncy castle on the lawn.  We decided across the street at this old church would work just as well so off we went. It just so happens that the Blogger's Quilt Festival hosted by Amy starts today, so I am linking up and entering this in the Modern Quilt category. Yay!

oooohhh the colour !

This one shows the quilting quite well. Thanks Linda for doing this so quickly for me  : )

THE BIG EASY

A couple of weeks ago, Pinterest sent me an e-mail of pins they thought I might like. Turns out, Pinterest was right

I was so taken by a black/grey and turquoise quilt, that I immediately went digging through my stash for fabrics to make one similar.

I've had a hankering to do some easy piecing-just sewing squares together and this certainly satisfied that urge.  Besides that, all these fabrics except one were in my stash.  Who knew?

 For the quilting I did triple lines in large zig zag style.

 I purchased the back which is a brushed cotton. Soooo soft.  The same fabric is on the top in a cotton. The binding is a black and white dot that I've had forEVER.

At this point I have no idea what I am going to do with this quilt. For now, I think it will live on my chair which is over 100 years old.  The modern and the very old seem to work quite nicely together

CARLI'S QUILT

Sometimes boredom can work in your favour. This last couple of weeks my daughter's boyfriend was out of town and she found herself facing some loooong days with nothing much to do. I suggested she find her pile of quilt blocks and work on them  : )
I had been teaching a beginner class at the shop and she asked if she could come and hang out and work on her quilt. After a couple of days she had the top done!

We ventured out for a photo shoot but the wind wasn't cooperating

 She used two lines of fabric in this-- one of them being 'Textures' by Angela Walters and I can't remember the other one. After piecing this, she's a pro at sashing. I may have to wait for her boyfriend to leave town again before I suggest she start quilting it           : )

It finished at about 64 x 80 ish

There is a Quilting Gallery blog hop starting on November 21st. Come back for a chance at a give-away : )
