My January finishes for OPAM

I hope you all had a great day. I just got home from work. I had a pretty good day. I am a bit tired. I plan to make a few blocks tonight that I am exchanging at my local quilt guild. I just wanted to show you my January finishes for the OPAM challenge. I did really well this month, with 5 finished projects. Here they are:

A few works in progress....

The last couple of days, I have done a little bit of sewing on different projects. I finished the Woodland Bloom Quilt top for my daughters room. This is a queen size quilt. It measure 99 inches by 80 inches. This is the biggest quilt top I have ever made. I am a bit scared to quilt this monster on my little domestic machine. But I will get it done.

The next project I have been working on is my hexagon star quilt. I have not worked on this quilt in quite a while. This top is all hand pieced. It will also be a queen size quilt. I have 9 more rows to do. I have about 60 stars made that just need to have the white border put on. I do love this one. I did not iron it before I took the picture. So it looks a bit shabby.

Tonight I decided to play a bit with my little 1 1/2 inch half square triangles that I had leftover from one of my quilts. I made a tiny little zig zag block. Isn`t it cute? The finished squares are 1 inch.

Well, I did not finish anything. But I did get some work done. I am working all weekend. So, I am only going to get a bit done. I hope you all have a nice weekend.

Ghest Blogger.....My daughter.....B-Sew cute!!!!

 Finally I finished my quilt top! It took so long and I really wanted to finish it. Well I`m very glad! I got my mom to line up all the seams and pin it so I could quilt it. Tonight I decided to keep the blank blocks(used to be stars) blank. So anyway I should stop talking cause everyone keeps saying I talk too much, so anyhow, here`s the finished quilt top.

I made this top by cuting 36 blocks in small rectangles and sewed all the small blocks in rows of 3 for each block. Then sewed them together in the strips and then sewed them all together to make the quilt top. Now all I need to do is get some yardage for binding and the backing fabric.

I was thinking of using flannel for the backing, because ......I won`t lie..... I absolutely love flannel. It is so soft and awesome for making a quilt. But I am still not sure I guess I`ll have to wait and see.!!!!!Hugs

!!!B-Sew cute :o)!!!

P.S

To all quilters out there don`t stop quiltin.... it is awesome and fun. And enjoy my moms blog because I think it is awesome. Oh ya I forgot if you think this is my mom it is her 10 year old daugther...B-Sew cute!!!!

Another little bag!!

I hope everyone had a good day. I did a lot of running around today. But this morning I sewed another little bag. I took a picture of the two bags together. Don`t they look cute!!!

When I did my 1 year anniversary giveaway, I drew two extra names. I did not know what I was going to give them. So I made these two little bags. I hope Deb and Lisa like them. They are really cute. I had a lot of fun making them. I put them in the mail today.

I wish everyone a wonderful evening.
