A mini quilt finish

Hi everyone,

I decided to finish a mini quilt that I started in January. 
This is a cute little table topper quilt. It is 16"x20". I used fabric from my crumb box to make the 4 inch finished quarter log cabin blocks. I did some straight line quilting which kind of distorted the shape a bit. But oh well, I still think it's cute.  

Yesterday, I also made a pincushion and needle keeper for a swap. I used up my red crumbs to make these too.
I really like these little projects. It's really satisfying to get something done in a short amount of time. 

 I hope you like my finished projects!

En Provence quilt is finished

Hi everyone, 

I have a finish for February, just in time. Haha! 

I very simply quilted my En Provence quilt below. 
This quilt is for my daughter. She loves a soft quilt and didn't want it densely quilted. So I kept it simple. I used the Philip Jacobs picotte poppies print and the lavina print separated by a solid purple strip for the backing. I used the same solid purple for the binding. 
Haha! Had to add a puppy pic in there.

Slow stitching Sunday

Hi everyone, 

Today, I sewed on the binding to my En Provence quilt and started hand stitching it to the back. 
This pic gives you a peak at some of the backing fabric. I hope to have the binding done in the next few days.

RSC 17 week 8, aqua/blue green/teal

Hi all, 

I finally got a chance to work on some Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks in the February colours of aqua/blue green/teal. 

I made four more 16 patch variation blocks. These are 12.5 inch blocks. 
I really love these blocks, and they look great with the purple ones. 
I also made a few more 3.5 inch spool blocks. I'm way behind on these as I want 30 in each colour of the month. I do have a bunch cut and ready to sew. I just need a chance to get to it. 
I made some plus blocks too! These are cute 6.5 inch blocks. 

So, once I'm done working on my En Provence quilt, I'll make more spool blocks. I finished quilting my En Provence quilt last night. It just needs to be trimmed and bound.
