I really can't believe we are already on the FIFTH day of Feb!!!!!! This year is FLYING by already!!! WOW!
I accomplished at least a few of my Jan. goals. I am not very good at keeping schedules and what not, but I can say that I FINISHED a quilt! *Whoop whoop* I finished by Bee blocks and I also finished my Lucky Star Bom!!! (I haven't done the Pile O Fabric BOM because I really can't decide what fabrics I want to use, I'll get there, I'm just indecisive!)
So do you guys want to see my finished quilt? I am INLOVE with it!!! (I'm really glad I made it for me!)
I don't know why that pic is blurry, it turned out really good. Maybe it's because I resized it to be smaller????? Any who, u can look at my
Flickr photo stream and see the pic above better, as well as any of the pics I'm getting ready to put on here!!!
I used a tutorial by the Missouri Star Quilt Co that can be found on their Youtube channel.
Click here for the video. It's really easy and this quilt came together really quick! I wanted to make it a bit bigger and add a modern flair to it so I used
this tutorial from Film In the Fridge and made a sort of "Converging Corners" border. I really love the way it turned out!
The fact that we actually had snow here in east TN was a miracle! I had to take advantage and brave the freezing cold temps to get some pics of this quilt in the snow!
Here is an up close of the front. I stippled the whole quilt!!!!! (I actually did a pretty good job too!)
I had bought random half yards of the fabric line and used them for a pieced backing.
It was getting dark out when these pics were taken, sorry! But I did use a REAL camera and not my Iphone!!!
I used some of the left over jelly roll strips to make a scrappy binding! All in all I really do love this quilt!!! I'm having a hard time even thinking about packing it up with the rest of our Christmas things and making it wait until it's Christmas time to bring it out!!! :( I may just keep it out anyways!!!!
So the stats of this quilt:
Fabric Used- Joy by Kate Spain and Moda White
Finished size (before washing)- 58" x 72"
Peiced and Quilted on my home machine
I'm thinking of using the left over blocks for a few pillows or maybe a small wall hanging?!?!? Any suggestions?
~Hope y'all are having a GREAT day!~
