Finished Lattice Baby Quilt

This afternoon, I finished the last quarter of the hand stitching of the binding of my Lattice Baby Quilt! No outside pictures because they mowed yesterday and it looks like it is about to rain.

I went back and forth about machine quilting this one, but I'm glad I ended up tying it with the all flannel backing.

And I went all out (again) and made bias binding for this one too!

There is a surprise baby shower for the mom this coming Saturday where this will be delivered!

Happy Sunday!

WIP Wednesday - square projects

I started working on my Stash Bee blocks for the month of June. Our Queen Bee for the month, Sandra chose the Great Granny Block via Lori Holt at Bee In My Bonnet. I finished one block and have one more laid out and ready to go.

I also layered and started tying the lattice baby quilt. Hopefully I can get the tying done tonight and start the binding!

June Lovely Year of Finishes Goal

This month I have to get my Lovely Year of Finishes project done before the last day of the month, unlike I did in May where I finished it minutes before May was over and just before the Lovely Year of Finishes link up closed!

This month I am going to finish a baby quilt for a friend whose surprise baby shower is on June 22.

This one is based off of a Moda Bake Shop Quilt from a while back by Amy Smart from Diary of a Quilter.

Right now I need to get a batting and some light yellow flannel for the backing, which could happen today because I'll be over by Joann's because I'm going to see Star Trek: Into Darkness with some friends. (And I am not afraid to admit I am super excited about it.)

If you haven't been participating in the Lovely Year of Finishes so far, you should join in! It has been a great motivator for me to get things done and I won a gift certificate for participating! I'm all about winning free stuff. 

So happy weekends to everyone! Park Ranger Fiance is coming in tonight and we actually get to spend a weekend day together tomorrow! Woo hoo!

Lattice Baby Quilt

I'm going to apologize at the onset for the lack of pictures.

I have another baby quilt to make for a friend from church whose baby shower is in June.

I decided to use this pattern from Moda Bake Shop by Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter. It is an older project, but it is perfect for the gender neutral quilt that I need to make. I ended up using colors almost identical to the original pattern!

Here's the one in progress picture of the charm squares being sashed together:

And here is the whole top put together!

And every stitch of this fabric is from my stash! Woot! Now to get a batting and quilt this little thing.

Linking up with....everybody!
