quilt monday

This is a long over due post. And in more ways than one ;)

I had been promising Boy4 a new bed quilt for a while. A long while. I cut it out, got sidetracked. Started some blocks, got sidetracked. I finally carved out some time and got it finished.

I had originally had a whole different colour scheme planned but he asked to go pick the fabrics and this is what he came up with.

quilted with Bright & Breezy

The quilt is a bit of an odd size. it's quite long but he wanted it a specific length so I kept making blocks until it was right :)

I love how the backing is the perfect compliment.

And he loves even more that it is finally finished.

odds and ends

We had a great Easter long weekend. I was able to spend some time with my sewing machine but not as much as I wanted.

I'm about halfway through assembling my Swoon quilt blocks.

And I learned that it doesn't matter how many times you've made a Swoon block, you need to use your full attention.

I love how the block looks square instead of round. All it took was an HST in the wrong spot.

And I picked up a few new temptations.

I did not mean to disappear for so long. The weirdest thing happened, my computer did a update. Normally not a big deal. But this time? The boys Xbox Live updated at the same time. When they changed the password, since my email is tagged to their account, I was completely locked out of my computer.
