Green/Aqua Churn Dash Revisited

 

Today I want to revisit an OLD quilt but one of my favorites.......

I can clearly remember working on this churn dash quilt on weekends and after work.....when I still worked.  That is an important key because I'm trying to date this quilt but I cannot for the life of me remember the year.  One of my flaws in quilting is mostly keeping track of when I made something and who I ultimately gifted it to.......

The one thing I remember about this one is I scoured my closet and pulled out every fabric that read aqua/lime green.  I'm sure I'd seen that combo "somewhere"......and another point I remember is I assembled the piano key border on Superbowl Sunday so I'm going to say January 2013??????

The next picture is me picking the quilt up in the parking lot of a church in Delaware where I met the girl that quilted it.  

I loved how it was quilted!   If I remember correctly, the quilter took this picture because this was her 100th quilt that she'd quilted.........

I don't remember where this quilt ended up.....I'm sure I gifted it to someone but I don't remember who :(     I'm thinking that it's time to plan another churn dash quilt like this one....maybe using some of my scraps?

Happy Friday and end of September 2018 !!!

Swoon 16 Sewalong

Good Morning.....

It's a wet one once again but other than that, I have no complaints.

Another week, another sewalong announced on Instagram.....but this one really caught my eye since it's hosted by Fat Quarter Shop using Camille Roskelley's "Swoon 16" block.
I decided that I'd sewalong with them but I may not be able to keep up due to other commitments that may have to go in front.  For now, I'm cutting out the 16 blocks and will sew on them when I can.

My fabric choice is Garden Variety by Lellaboutique.

I don't have the issue like some girls do with taking that MODA ribbon off.....if I want to make something with the fabric I just rip it off!  

I made 1 block yesterday.....

I LOVE how it turned out so I pulled 3 prints for the next one last night....

The bees in this fabric line just speak to me.........

I think i'll grab my rotary cutter now and get to cutting........

StarPlus Quilt

I made a "Star Plus Quilt" a few years ago in a sewalong with some Instagram girls and enjoyed it so much.  I remember a teacher in the school I worked at had to put her mom in a facility at the time so I gave it to her to help make mom's room look homey........

Well, I recently decided that the HUGE pile of Thimbleblossom's "The Good Life" fabric needed to be cut into!

The quilting that my friend Jen did looks awesome!!!

This is the back.....Gorgeous GOOD LIFE floral!  Now to get some binding made and sewn on the quilt.


















Do you ever forget you have a quilt?  This one is that quilt........

It's one of those tops that I made with a pack of fat quarters that were not really "me" but in the end I liked the quilt and it's a light top that I can use at this time of year.  I tend to stuff it in the back of my closet and forget about it though.......I have made the decision to keep it out this winter, over the back of my rocking chair and use it!  (kind of like today...I snuggled under while it poured outside and watched a few Hallmark movies)
