Baby Paw

This week was either wind and rain, or wind and cold or just wind. I have been chomping at the bit to get out and get some photos. Today it was sun and wind so I went out. I had moments when the quilt almost went into orbit but caught a few to share at least.  This is a Baby Paw. I have a great nephew that this is going to even though he just turned one already. ( I actually have his big brothers quilt even though he will turn 4) I digress.... ha I had a bunch of solid bright strips in various widths so went for it.  59" x 59" approx.  Quilted in a organic plaid fashion I had the cutest "Latifah Saafir" jump rope print that was perfect for the back of this one.  Off into the wild blue yonder...ha I hope to get this to him before he turns 5! Linking up with Kelly @  NTT over at My Quilt Infatuation  and surprise she featured my scrappy rainbow  Crazy Memories  which was part of the Project Quilting challenge going on over at PersimonDreams.  and  Off the Wall Fridays

  My niece with her Elsa/Anna pillow I made for sleeping over at the Grandparents house! Grandparents each received new pillow cases to match...can there be too much Frozen in your life? :)   and     her brand new baby brother mmm...new baby snuggles!     Mason jar pincushions from my moms stash of flour sack material. I made hexi flower tops and then divided up some of the buttons she had saved.  All the kids used to play with her button can which was an old canned ham container.  This was one of four I made so far.     Signing up for an online Friendship Block Swap and asking a fellow blogger, Jen,  from my same city to join in.  We both had fun making our quilt tops and then we     had fun meeting Luke Haynes together. :)     My first entry into the county fair since 4-H days.    Tried my hand at value design of my own.     Tried totally improv curvy leaf designs and lots of fmqing which you can't see well on
