Americana QAL Row 3

I stitched up Row 3 yesterday.  It's a time eater to rummage thru scraps to find just the right pieces and try to make them all different.  To top it off, I pulled out a lovely FQ for the background, started cutting and sewing, then remembered that it needed one half yard for background.  Oops, had to improvise, again.  But it's all done, except for stitching down the fusible applique and adding some patriotic star buttons, just for fun.

Thankfully, Deanna used a multitude of photos in the instructions or I never would have gotten them sewn together correctly.  You can read all about this project by clicking the Americana Row QAL button in my left sidebar.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Road to Round Rock - finished.

This quilt pattern was a free offering from Judy L. of Patchwork Times  back in February, 2013.  You will find her instruction steps here :   http://www.patchworktimes.com/2013/02/18/new-quilt-along/

I chose to make it with patriotic colors.  It had been waiting for a finished binding for a while.  Because of it's size, I had a LA from my guild quilt it up for me.  Actually, it was a barter.  I made her a 50" round quilted spiral tree skirt in exchange for her quilting.  I did much more labor, I assure you. LOL

This quilt is 62 x 78.  I did a slightly different border treatment.  There is not  a label yet since I'm not sure  where it will be gifted.  This is also a UFO finish and used at least 8 yards of fabric!  YAY!

Today   I'm linking up with                Judy L. at Patchwork Times
 and   Tuesday linking up with           Freemotion by the River
 and                                                    Quilt Story.

I love to visit them all and see what other creative quilters are working on today.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
