Catching Up.... On Quilts!

HURRAH, HURRAY!  

I've sewn the top together for the Jan Patek Miami Valley Album Quilt!

It'll look better after it's quilted, which, BTW, I have no clue how to

quilt this, but will come up with something. 

I LOVE IT!  It just warms my heart!

Another Must Have quilt kit arrived this week from Fig Tree Quilts!

I love this line of fabric!

The Fig Tree Fabric is called "California Girl".  It's so pastel

and wonderful, it makes ME feel like a California Girl!

See the Blue colorway?  It's pretty too-- looks like the beach. 

I think that's why they called it "Boardwalk"!

Look here, Honeydews, you can buy directly from

Fig Tree Quilt Company-- Click on the word HERE

to get to their website.  They are the SWEETEST

People to work with.

Now here's what I had to cut this week.  A quilt kit that was on the

backburner.  The pattern is from Cotton Way, called "Slice of Charm".

The white background squares are only 5 inches!  Oh Man!

So guess how big the pieces are???

Tiny.  And I had to cut them by hand using a template- WHEW!

Haven't done that in a LOOOOOONNNNGGGG TIME!

Actually had to use my scissors too!

Had to cut 64 of these shapes, then cut them into four pieces,

which makes:    256 small pieces (for the pies!)

This will be the final result!  I just could not

resist this kit, which was purchased about two years

ago, from Connecting Threads.  This fabric line is

called "Canning Day", which they have a few prints

left on clearance at their website.

This is American-made cotton and I really like it.

They sell it for 4.96 a yard, but it has a nice feel to it. 

It's not as high a thread count as some other quilting fabric,

but it reminds me of stuff my Granny Lil had.

I like it!  Don't be afraid to buy some.

Also at their website, you can use their "Kit Builder",

and you can plug in fabrics into a custom quilt kit,

using their fabrics.  Go and have some fun!

That catches me up on the quilt front for now!
