I finally got to get outside to snap a few shots today!! We have been experiencing a LOT of rain, flooding and snow these past few weeks and the weather has not been co-operating for me to snap a few shots of these quilts outside.
I have been able to complete a few quilts recently and haven't posted them so I am going to try my hardest to get this blog updated!!
I am in LOVE with the patterns by Sew Kind of Wonderful and their rulers! I have purchased several patterns and have a few tops in my quilt closet ready to go - now to get to the quilting! Actually I just took another one off the frame on Saturday that just needs the binding! Yey!
This is Metro Twist!
I fell in LOVE with this pattern some time ago and have been waiting for inspiration to strike. Well, I found this fabric line in the 50% off bin and knew just what I wanted to do with it! I pulled out my Quick Curve Ruler (QCR) and got to work. I completely cut out the top and started piecing in one evening. Before I knew it the top was pieced! I loaded it onto my frame and got quilting it using my rulers and taking inspiration from photos from Sew Kind of Wonderful.
This is a heavily quilted quilt but it is still so soft!
I used Glide threads in Pearl and Lagoon to quilt the entire quilt and I am in LOVE! I was even able to pull a blue flannel from my stash that perfectly matched the blues in the top.
Done and bound!
Next up was this little baby quilt using left-over blocks from the Snack Time quilt that I still haven't finished turning the binding on! I liked these blocks but they just didn't "go" with the hotter colours of the rest of the quilt :-( Luckily I had just enough to put together for this little guy. Again I used a Glide Thread in white for the all over design.
More finishes to come soon!!!
