Pinwheels and Borders

 I've been working weekly on this project created by Marjorie Busby of Accuquilt Qube Quilts facebook group.  Only 2 weeks to go, then I can figure out my finishing plans;  additional borders or spaces or ???

My photo was taken indoors with a light on and my camera likes to turn the teal fabrics into a harsh blue.  I hope to get a nice photo outside once the top is all together. I have used a dark green, yellow gold, scrappy teals  and white with gold speckles.

So this is what I have to share this week..........


I'm happy to link up with these parties this week.  Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

Grandmas Goodness Blue Stripe

 I cut this quilt kit last December during a cutting spree.  Obviously it was quick to sew together, a bunch longer to quilt when you fuss like I do.  It is 46 x 58  I quilted it with a blue Glide thread and white bottom line thread in the bobbin.


It has a nice layer of cotton batting and backed with a fleece print.


I'm joining these linky parties this week.  Be sure to visit them to see what other quilters are sharing.

RSC June - the Blues Stepper

 I whipped up a stepper quilt of blues, with a lime green trail.  The quilt pattern is by Liz Broussard, a Stashbuster friend.  The photo is not great as had to take it indoors.  I cut all the blues from the scrap bin with a gocutter die.  The lime green was quickly cut from a wide strip.

It has 30 blocks and measures  45 x 54.  I should get it pin basted at church sew day next week.  I think it will be a quick quilting plan with lime thread.

Pink Daisies Step by Step

 I've started  AND  finished a baby quilt this past week.  It took too long to quilt because I free motion quilted block by block style.  This design just didn't seem to call for an all over quilting pattern.  I quilt freehand on a Janome sit down.

The pattern is called Step by Step created by  theirishquilter.com  I adjusted sizes of elements to finish at my desired size of 46 x 58.  It has a nice cotton batting, fleece print backing and quilted with  pink aurifil thread.  I was trying to use it up as aurifil doesnt seem to be my favorite brand of thread.  Sorry, I know it is  VERY  popular amoung most quilters.

This photo was taken before the laundry, so all the ripples have turned into a lovely, soft flowing quilt.


I'm glad for a finish this week and happy to join all these lovely linky parties.  Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing this week.
