2 Print More Modern HST quilt

  More Modern HST from 2020 in 2 prints. This was a QAL by lqg member Steph Jacobson over at  Steph Jacobsons designs  blog.  My quilt is made from the 12 main months of the qal. It measures approx. 60" x 60" I flipped the placement around to put my small print in the main blocks and the big black and white in the background. It was a fun experiment and the reason I did it was I had those two in my stash. I thought I had enough to do the extra bonus blocks but I did not. ha A slight draw back from using up your stash but I am still happy to use what I can. I made the top at the end of last year so technically this is also a UFO. yay! Snow then and snow now. Only difference it today the high is in single digits. I made a quick dart out back to get the quilted pic and the back.  (Feb 20th...went out for more pics)Update: Okay so this is more the scene today...so pretty out there in the early morning fog. :) The back was super fun to do.

Finish Friday - Vintage Star

Image
  Windy day here but tried to get a few snaps of this Vintage Star quilt because it is heading to  LIncoln Quilts for KIds  tomorrow.   This is the second time I made this star. I love the giant half square triangles it takes to make this quilt. Virtually no waste except for squaring up blocks. Simple tutorial can be found by Amy Smart for  We All Sew .  My bleeding heart survived the freeze last week and is back bold and big as ever.  This is the first quilt I tried to free motion quilt on with my new Babylock Jane industrial machine. It was so much fun and I felt I had so much more control with the extra harp space I now have. I can't wait to experiment more.  Linking up with  Crazy Mom Quilts Finish Friday also linking up to  this months challenge theme is FINE. I am linking this piece because of my first time free motioning on my new Baby Lock Jane. I did a FINE job and hope to do so much better in the future.
