Finished Baby Quilt for Madison

This has actually been finished for a few days, but we've been traveling and celebrating and all that good Christmas-y stuff, so I'm finally getting a chance to post this finish!

Since I was in a major hurry to get this out (this sweet babe was born at the beginning of November!) I only have a front and back picture to show this time around.



I quilted this one with meandering swirls and bound it with the leftover backing fabric!

Merry Christmas from us to you and yours!

I'm still here!

Remember me?

The last month has been crazy in real life -- I started a full time job -- and I have been busy preparing to kick off Stash Bee 2015!

I will be back soon! Until then, here's Clara the Bunny.

Quilt for Baby Boo -- Basted!

The last time I posted about this quilt it looked like this:


I decided to change up my plan entirely and turn it into an on-point rail fence. I used the backing fabric for the setting triangles and then decided that it was too small, so I used the last half yard of the yellow fabric as a 3 inch border.

(Clara tried to "help".)


Much better with a border! I'm planning to use the same fabric from the setting triangles for the binding too.


And now it is all pin basted and ready to quilt! I am planning to try to do some simple custom quilting on it. I am planning to do squiggles in the rail fence block, loops in the setting triangles, and loops in the border as well.


Linking up to Fabric Tuesday and Linky Tuesday!

November Wishes Block

Well, I'm not making a lot of progress on anything else, so I figured today I would show my November Wishes QAL block.


Just December to go now! I can't wait to see this one all come together! :)
