$10 Quilt

It’s been a while since I’ve done any quilting, so I started the $10 Quilt with Country Concessions, in Cookstown. I got my September block done! Woohoo!

Starry Night

I’m loving the colours!

Mini Leaf Quilt

My leaf quilt is all ready for the miniature raffle. I’ve attached a copy of the back as Traceyann requested. Learned a few more things about thread painting. There’s always something new to learn.

New Quilter :-)

Heather sent me the picture she had taken of her wall hanging -

Now she is working on a wall hanging from a kit I bought a few years ago at the Waterloo Quilt Show. I think she’s going to try free motion quilting on that one.

Miniature Project – 2011

Auditioning background, border & binding

We are well ahead of schedule on our Miniature Project for the 2011 Quilt Show.

Next Project – Update

I’m not sure why I was procrastinating with this project… but the cutting is done now.

Decisions, decisions!

Fabrics have been selected and cut to 9″… why not the 10″ we discussed? Well, I used several fat quarters and one of them (ahem! the focus fabric) I couldn’t squeeze out the extra inch. I’m okay with that… However, I’m wondering about the green. Does it belong? My instinct is No! … Ah well, I’ll soon find out.

Reflections – two colourways

My two choices:

Reflections

Here are my fabric choices for our next project. The two on the left are the highlight fabrics, then the focus is the 3rd from the left and the rest are the contrast pieces.

Fabric choices

Here is the focus fabric & coordinates/accent fabrics I have chosen for our next project:

Focus Fabric

Okay, this will probably be my focus fabric for the next project… the question will be, “Do I have enough?” I have many pinks and reds, a few greens, and not so many beiges.

Finished!

It was finished a few days ago … It was a gift so I didn’t want to post till after Christmas

Bento Box

Did I mention that I backed it with ‘Fireside’? Really cozy and snuggly but tough to work with using the quilt as you go technique I used…. I quilted the centre box and added the borders which curled devilishly as I worked with it.
