quilt monday
I showed my TrueNorth quilt last week and
I could not hold off on quilting it up any longer.
I am absolutely thrilled with how it turned out.
This is the Ribbon Star Variation block.
There were a few blocks that were too small and/or ivory was used instead of white, so I pieced them into the backing.
I was always against pieced backings but now with the cost of fabric, piece all the quilt backs!
I kept the quilting simple and think it turned out well.

I had just enough of the polka dots for the binding.
And ended up with a wee hijacker during our photo shoot.
eek
Happy Monday.

I played catch up on our true north bee blocks.
These are going to be some pretty fantastic quilts.
And I got my true north quilt together!
Can't wait to get this quilted; it turned out so good.
And because I could, I signed up for another bee round!

Hello! Remember me?
I showed this a few months ago when I pieced it.
I absolutely love this fabric line. And I truly love this quilt.
I've had this panto for a while and figured this would be the perfect quilt to try it on.

I love the texture it gives to the quilt.
As you can see, I went with a thread that blended in with the fabrics and stands out in the background.
Short and sweet for today but I promise no more disappearing acts.
Happy Monday!
quilt monday
I lucked out with some spare time and had a random layer cake. Could I make something with it? It was also a Saturday night of a long weekend, no quilt stores open until Tuesday. Could I make this work?
I lucked out with some kona yardage that matched the layer cake perfectly. And sewing quickly commenced.

Actually a funny story behind this. I had originally planned to donate this quilt once finished but one of the boys quickly claimed it as his own lol.
Once the quilt top was done, the next challenge was backing. Did I have enough in my stash?
You betcha.
How fun did that turn out?
I also found a darker solid that made the perfect binding.
Pretty much a success all around!
