A lovely year of finishes goal - April

Time again to link up with  Fiber of all Sorts and Bittersweet Designs  "A year of lovely Finishes" project and set my goal(s). I really want to finish my greenish hexi project so I think that will be it.  I have some boarders on it now and I just have to decide if that is big enough or if I should put more hexis on it. hmmm?? I would like to finish this. I have already gotten out the two quick boy charity quilt tops I put together last month and sandwiched both and quilted both. Finished binding one last night and made the binding for the other. A friend of mine is going to a class on monday to learn how to bind and her mother needs something to practice on so she is taking my quilt and binding. I think it will be great for her and another finish for me! :)  VOTE if you can this week 4/5/13 Please!

Project Quilting #6- Hooray for Spring Challenge

Well here it is the final challenge for Project Quilting Season 4 sponsored by Persimon Dreams .  The last few weeks have really been something.  There has been lots of learning and experimenting AND lots of emotions.  Okay this challenge is "Hooray for Spring". Wide open and just about anything goes.   My quilt this week is sort of a quilt mash-up.  I received a letter from my sister in law containing and article about a man who makes these fabulous quilts with one block.   They are a kaleidoscope like block made from laying the repeat of the fabric print on top of each other and then you cut through enough layers to make a block.   I had some floral fabric and decided to try a few to see what would happen.  Fun!  I decided this looked like spring so I was going to see where this would go.   "You are a Seed" All the flower hexi shaped blocks are from one piece of fabric.  I have been hoarding the lovely little girl panel designed by Cori Dontini. I love

  Today is WIP over at  Freshly Pieced  and I have been working on a few things.  More progress on last weeks green half-hexi quilt top. I put borders of a sort on but now it looks more traditional so not sure if I like it.  Then onto this weeks  Project Quilting  Challenge. This is the 6th and last challenge. The theme is "Hooray for Spring". I have something in the works but it is only midweek and I might change my mind. My sister in law sent me an article about a man who makes these huge one block wonder quilts. I never thought I wanted to do one but I had some fabric and thought I might try and see what it looked like all kaleidoscopey. Fun that is what it is. We will have to see.  Linking up with  Freshly Pieced
