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!

Road to Round Rock - Center

Phew!  I have been busy, really I have.  I've just finished assembling the center of my Road to Round Rock QOV.  This is a QAL happening over at patchworktimes.

I will be not be following Judy's plan for the finishing borders.  I have a special print fabric that I want to use as part of the border, and I didn't want the quilt to finish quite as large as Judy's plan. This is a good stopping point.  I have some other sewing commitments that will take precedence right now.

This piece is a quilt of valor commitment.  Is it safe to say ............. HAPPY  SPRING !

QAL Instr #2

So far, so good. I've managed to keep up with the quilt-a-long at patchworktimes.com.  Here is another set of 6 blocks for my "QOV"  Road to Round Rock project.

This set finishes off the outside perimeter of the design.  I guess we'll now be moving on to smaller half square triangles.  Wish me luck.  LOL

Road to Round Rock Instr # 1

I have been working on Instruction #1 for the Road to Round Rock quilt-a-long.  You will find a link to this project on my left side bar.  Judy Laquidara  is the designer.  She has displayed several different palette options on her main post.

I opted for the quilt of valor (QOV) red/white/blue.  Here is my blocks from Instruction #1.

Now on to Instruction #2.  The steps are being published on Monday, Thursday and Saturday....just enough time to be able to keep up and not dragged out too long to get bored.

Thank you, Judy, for offering this inspiring project.
