I have been so very neglectful to my blog. School is getting better, five weeks to go in this first semester, one more semester to go! Some days, I haven't even gotten 5 minutes of sewing time in! But, I am spending tomorrow doing some reorganizing and cleaning of the sewing room (aka the living room), and hopefully make it more friendly for me to actually sew in. Oh, and I am getting myself an Accuquilt Baby Go cutter to help things along by maybe getting some of these scraps under control. They have a great special going on right now, where you get some mats and the value die free if you buy the cutter too. Special goes on until October 2nd. I can't wait to get it! I will be posting about that, for sure.
So, this is what I finished about a week ago.
I love this quilt, it was so much fun. I think I did a tutorial on it somewhere a few posts back. My memory gets a wee bit fuzzy sometimes :). This quilt used a good amount of scraps, so it was great to make.
This is a picture of the quilting. You can tell I haven't had time to trim it. It'll join the stack that are waiting trimming and binding. I really am a procrastinator in that aspect. I have one quilt I zig-zagged the edges, and have been using it that way for a couple of years! :)
Picture of the back. Use up those scraps baby! Very few of my quilts have just one fabric for the backing. I like to use up as much as I can so I can buy more! ( is it sad that I can't wait to finish school so I can have a full-time job to pay for more fabric? ) LOL.
Hopefully, it won't be so long before my next post. I am thinking about maybe doing a weekly post doing a quilt along type thing, with simple blocks and instructions once a week. Whatdayathink?
Happy quilting,
Marianne
