Rainbow Rose QAL Week 5

I honestly did not sew up my Rainbow Rose quilt top until the instructions came out this week, but I was definitely excited to do so! The photos of the quilt top taped to my large sliding glass door don't do much to show you how well the quilt top came together, but they sure are stained glass like glowing...

Woodland Animals Baby Quilt Flimsy

Do you remember the sweet woodland animal prints I was crushing on from the Fat Quarter Shop a few weeks ago? Well, my client liked them a lot, too, so I purchased them and knew that it would be the first project to tackle when I returned home from QuiltCon. I paired the cute prints with some solids - the...

Rockabilly Baby Quilt – Finished Flimsy

I dove right into the fabric I ordered for the Rockabilly Baby Quilt, and I am excited to share the finished flimsy with you today! I based the design inspiration for the quilt on several ads that I found online. The circle marque, wonky rectangles, and sets of offset lines that are in the quilt top were all pulled and...

HST Scrap Quilt {Flimsy Finish}

The process of making the Lucent quilt / MQG Riley Blake Fabric Challenge quilt left me with 36 large HSTs. I pressed them, then I squared them to 8.5-inches, and I had a lot of fun playing around with the layouts. I wanted to keep the prints oriented "right side up" in the layout, but I still came up...

Cocoa Leaf Medallion Flimsy Finish

I am super thrilled to say that I buckled down and spent 7 hours this week finishing up the Cocoa Leaf Medallion quilt top and backing. Hooray! As it is intended for a queen size bed, I carefully placed the finished top on my own bed to get a feel for how it will drape. I did not get the...

Out of the Woods {Flimsy Finish}

When I received the Hawthorne Threads order that contained the fabric for Out of the Woods, I could not wait to dive in and piece the quilt top! I jumped right in and in 1.5 hours I had the top 40% of the quilt top pieced; the sun and sky. I took my time and pieced half-square triangles (HSTs) carefully...

Foothills Mystery Quilt {Flimsy Finish}

This was a bittersweet month for the Foothills Mystery Quilt; we received our final instructions from Cheryl @Meadow Mist Designs on how to piece together the quilt top! Cheryl did a fantastic job organizing this mystery quilt - it was a lot of fun to put the blocks together and see the way she hid the features of the quilt in her...

Racetrack Quilt {Flimsy Finish}

My goal for today was to finish piecing the Racetrack Quilt top, and I am happy to say that I had it done before 8pm. That certainly counts as a Friday Finish, right? As I was working on laying out the blocks earlier this week, I ended up making some changes in the fabric combinations for each block as...

Scrap Quilt Flimsy {TGIFF}

I had a delightful mix of 3" squares and 2.5" HSTs left over from piecing Tessellated Leaves. The colors and fabrics from that project are so vibrant and fun that I decided to pull those scraps out of my bin on Christmas day and see what "stuck" on my design wall. A quick 5 hours later, and I have...

Tessellated Leaves {Flimsy Finish}

I finished piecing together Tessellated Leaves this morning. I really love how it came together! Photographing this large quilt is a bit of a challenge. At 104ʺ wide by 116ʺ long, I wasn't sure that I even had a space in my home where I could lay it out flat, but as you can see below, I found a...

You can read more about the quilt top in my original Three Flocks {WiP} post from last week. Today, I am just going to let you scroll through my set of photos from the quilt piecing process....

Orange Crush {Backing}

After making so many drawstring bags, I started itching to work on a quilt project over the weekend. On Saturday afternoon, I pulled out Orange Crush. After a lot of back and forth on whether I wanted to add a border to the top or not, I auditioned some Kona White and Kona Bone as a simple border for the top. The pure...

Space Age Tumbling Blocks {WiP Wednesday}

I completed the quilt top for Space Age Tumbling Blocks on Tuesday morning, and I love how similar the concept image created in EQ5 is to the actual quilt top. Including fabric prep, the quilt top took me 9.5 hours to get to this point, and pre-quilting, it measures 62" across by 75" down. The backing went together very quickly...

Orange Crush and Space Age Tumbling Blocks

I was able to finish piecing the Orange Crush quilt top on Wednesday. I am pleasantly surprised with how well my points turned out. It is definitely ORANGE! As I was piecing, I only found one location where the same fabric touched (which I was trying to avoid), so not too shabby. It has taken 13 hours to get...
