Quilt Goddess - A Miniature Quilt

I'm working on it. One of my friends saw my pile of WIPS and UFO's and dubbed me the Quilt Goddess. I highly doubt it, but it inspired me to make a miniature quilt of the Goddess.

I'll probably donate it to the AAQI. I'm hand quilting it. Might take a while. :)

Star Light, Star Bright

Star Light, Star Bright, a swap quilt top is finished tonight.

I did a swap in 2010 for bright stars on black Kona solids. Each block measured 8.5" before sewn into the quilt top. The theme was brights, and I just LOVE how this quilt top turned out. I had the lime green and bright orange in my stash, and it wasn't big enough for my liking after I added the borders/sashing, whatever you want to call it. So then I searched a bit longer and found the white.

Because each of the blocks are so bright, I wanted to add a bright border around each block and I grabbed the bright green and bright orange. Then, it was still a bit small for me, so I took some white on white fabric, and added a 6.5" (unfinished) border.

For the backing, I'm cutting the remaining green fabric and some more of the WOW. Each of the girls who did the blocks made a small siggie block. The siggies are going to be framed in white, then with the remaining orange fabric around. I'm still working on the label.

I'm going to be stippling the quilt probably in bright orange or lime green. DH thinks white.

I'm just BOOMING

From OATW13, she sent me a huge surprise, not one block, but TWO:


From OATW13 - the SECOND one she sent!! How cool is that!


From Nancia. It's called Stepping Stone and was her first time doing anything like it. :) I think it turned out just lovely!


This is beautiful, and it's from NanaKathy55.


And I received this one, but had a slight mishap with the paper label falling off it. :( Soon as I figure out who made it, I'll be in good shape.

Week 25: June 19-25, 2011

Kind of going off last weeks theme, I figured that we'd go VINTAGE this week. Doesn't matter if we use VINTAGE fabric, or buttons, or lace, or a scanned in picture that is VINTAGE. Let's pull out all of the old stuff that we hoard for whatever reason, and *use* it! You can make your mini on an old machine.. the possibilities are endless.

THEME: VINTAGE

PandaMonium

This one just kept growing and growing. It's too big now for the AAQI, measuring in at a "whopping" 12"x15". I was practicing FMQ on this one, and writing with it. I don't think it turned out too bad, not my best by far, but I'm pretty happy. Now all it needs is binding and a loving label.

Boom Block Received

And I got this one from Navarre2011 yesterday. Isn't it beautiful? I just love what she did with it.

Week 24: June 12-18, 2011

Sorry I'm a little late with posting this one, but I couldn't decide on a theme. Naturally, I go surfing blogs to get inspiration and one of the blocks that I saw was a Sunbonnet Sue. To be honest, I'm unsure if I like it or not. It looks kind of fun, but in the same too "old" for me. Maybe I'll like it if I make one this week.

This weeks theme is SUNBONNET SUE.
