I finished a UFO!!! Yeah!!!

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing well.

I'm very excited to share a finish with you.

This is an old UFO from 2010.

It's the Schnibbles pattern called Sunday Best, by Miss Rosie's quilt company.

I was participating in the Year of Schnibbles at the time and this was the February pattern.

I made mine a twin size quilt.

My three kids were in twin size beds at the time, so I thought it would be great to have another quilt this size. Too bad I never got it done. They are all in bigger beds now.

This quilt is not my best work. The piecing isn't perfect. But, I still love it.

I decided to quilt it very simply with straight lines on either side of the seams.

This quilt measures 66.5 inches x 94 inches long.

It will make the perfect cuddle quilt for my tall sons.

The backing fabric is a cotton twill that was given to me years ago. 

Its soft and matches perfectly the colour scheme, so I decided to use it and get it out of my stash.

I'm so glad to have another UFO off my list. 

On to pick the next UFO to work on.

Okay! So I decided to add borders....

My Sunday Best quilt just got bigger. It is 66.5 inches wide and 94 inches long. It will make a nice size bed quilt. After I saw the parade of quilts on Sherri`s and Sinta`s blogs, I just had to add the borders. It just made the quilts look so much better. So I worked on it all evening. I am proud to say this quilt top is all made from my stash. I didn`t go buy any new material. Well, now I have to get the backing put together.

A Winner, My Sunday Best quilt top, and more.....

I hope everyone has had a good day. Sorry for taking so long to announce the winner of my giveaway! I wrote all the names on paper and my daughter B-Sew Cute picked the winner. The winner is.................

a good yarn said...

Congratulations Ariane - how marvellous! You're a celebrity now. Ann :-)

I am so glad that Ann won. She comments on my blog all the time. Thank you so much to everyone who commented. I am amazed at all the support you give me. I love to quilt and hope to make many more in the future. I also love that my daughter has wanted to quilt with me. It is so much fun to have that time together.

I also finished my Sunday Best quilt top. I decided to make it into a twin size quilt. I used my stash and I love the way it turned out. So, now I need to figure out what to do for the backing. I don`t usually buy big pieces of fabric, so I am not sure if I am going to piece a back or go out and buy some fabric. So, here it is....

I also received my potholders from the Potholder Pass Swap. This was a really fun swap. My partner Trisha sent the most wonderful potholders and a gift for my daughter too.  She sent my daughter two fat quarters and a pattern. She was so thoughtful. Thank you so much Trisha.

Well, that is all for today.......

Progress on my February Schnibbles quilt: Sundays Best

I hope you have been having a nice weekend.

I am off this weekend.

I did a bit of sewing last night and this evening on my Sundays Best quilt.

 I am making a larger version of this pattern.

 I have the center panel of the quilt done.

 It is 54 inches square at the moment.

I am thinking of adding two more rows to this quilt.

That way it would fit on a twin bed.

This quilt would go well in the boys room.

I used my stash to make it. It a scrappy quilt.

I love that style of quilt.

Especially for an everyday quilt.

What do you think?

I started my Sunday`s Best quilt top!

I decided to start my Sunday`s Best quilt top tonight. I decided to make these blocks bigger. I wanted a nice big everyday quilt that I could use on a bed or as a sofa quilt. This is going to be a scrappy quilt. I am only using fabrics from my stash to make it. I have the first four blocks sewn together. What do you think? It is very much my style. These blocks come together very easily. I love that!! I have not been in the mood to sew as much lately. But starting a new project has gotten me a bit more into the groove again. I have to go to bed now. I have to work in the morning.
