Yes, this is truly a gorgeous quilt! You've hit a home run with the color placements - I love how vibrant it is. And the back is as good as the fron. Well done!!!

Hi Kris - for some reason I wasn't able to access your email through your profile. But I was wondering if I could include a photo from this post in an upcoming blog post about photoshoots I love. I'd link back to your blog post. Let me know! Thanks.

Project Quilting Season 5 - #1

Image
  So excited that Kim over at  Persimon Dreams is hosting Project Quilting again this year. It was so fun last year and I accomplished a lot.  This year I had so many ideas for this first Challenge. I wanted to do something more arty but when it came down to it I really need to make lap or baby size quilts for some of the charities I contribute to. I am sure I will do something more artsy before the challenge is over but for today I am going with a version of a scrap quilt.  The Challenge is "String Along with Me" I used the same strip quilt as you go as I did in a quilt I made last Oct following Maureen Cracknell and her Herringbone QAYG quilt tutorial.  This was is called Scrappy II  it is 43 x 45. All scrap strings, scrap batting pieces and scrap binding. It might not be very creative but my scrap box is looking so much better!  (notice the fun fabric I found for the back...lovely dotty diamonds!) Simple quilting since each st...

Around the Block Party!

Image
"Around the Block" party finish this week. 40 "x 40" approx.  My last week was so productive that I only have a small finish so far this week.  My lqg got together one afternoon to make improv house blocks. It was so much fun that I made a whole block party of them.  I was trying out an idea for a color challenge using a paint chip that has 3 colors. This one had an amber orange color, a chocolate brown and an aqua. I sort of mixed in some gold too but it was fun trying out a color scheme like this and I think it would be fun guild project.  I love how they turned out and and it has started some talk about doing some outreach work for Habitat for Humanity homes. These would be great to do and each house adds a bit of whimsy.  Linking up with Let's bee social @  Sew Fresh Quilts and NTT @  My Quilt Infatuation and Amanda Jean @  Crazy Mom Quilts  and Show off Saturday with  Sew Can She

WIP - End of Summer

Image
The weather lately means it is the end of summer. I still think my new quilt block quilt is pretty sizzling hot!  I love this block and how it came together. So far I added the corner stones and surrounding half stones. I really don't think I want a border on this but will use the orange or yellow for binding maybe. Still deciding. No idea how I am going to quilt around those jagged blocks yet either. Any ideas?  I have the back pieced and should try to get to it yet this week. Linking up with WIP Wed. @ Freshly Pieced and Let's Bee Social @ Sew Fresh Quilts and Needle and Thread Thursdays @ My Quilt Infatuation and I am the Participant Highlight today for A Lovely Year of Finishes @ SewBitterSweetDesigns and Fiber of All Sorts   yippee...go check it out!
