First up, a small low volume sample for our LQS. Cyndi, the owner of the store wanted a little sample to show customers how to incorporate low volume fabrics into their quilts. I volunteered. A quick little scrappy quilt is always fun and gratifying.
Here is a picture before I tacked down the binding. (I forgot to take one after, oops)
Please excuse the terrible picture taken with my phone.
This was made with 44 5-inch squares of low volume fabric as the background.
The stars are made from scraps; a 5-inch square and leftover triangles from other projects.
It is bound with a grey and white dot.
Quick and fun.
I was also able to finish up a couple of quilt tops.
First up is my quilt top for the Irish Chain Twist Quilt Along over at Happy Quilting.
I got all of my blocks and rows sewn together, now to decide how to quilt it. Any suggestions?
The colors turned out great together. So springy, don't you think? I just LOVE the green!!
And finally I finished up my delectable mountains quilt. The fabrics are just so fun together.
This started with a few pieces from Urban Chicks that I just fell in love with. Hello feathers! And the rest came from my stash. Yay for stash busting!
This quilt makes me happy. I have always been drawn to scrap quilts, so busy quilts like this that mix together fabrics from all over just make me smile.
Have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by,
