Just in Time for New Years!

I tried using light colored fabrics with little splashes of color in this 'grow-your-own' quilt.  It was a lot of fun.  I stitched the entire thing in the ditch, which accentuates each strip of fabric I used.  It is a lovely New Year quilt.

Quilt As You Go!

I had a couple friends come over and we did quilt-as-you go quilts, then we did the bindings.  We learned all about making the binding strips and sewing them to the edge of the quilt. We learned how to go around the corners and make them crisp looking.  I love this silly bird fabric and the huge flowers.  Quilt as you go makes the quilt construction go by very fast, and you cannot see the quilting on the front. You can see it on the back!
