Vice Versa Block #3

This is a two block a month BOM.  Vice Versa.  I don't usually wait so long to do anything.  Rarely do I have numerous quilts going at once.  I'm a start and finish kinda gal!  Until this month!  March~you kicked my butt this time around!  In the end I won!  I got it done with hours to spare.....ninja warrior, that I am!

I like this block.  Bear's Paw.  I'm leaning towards the block on the right as my favorite.  Maybe!

The more I see these and the other two, the more excited I get!  I cannot wait to put them all together one day!  There are six more months.  Twelve more blocks.  It'll be a while.  Good thing I have the patience of a Ninja...

What do you think?  Which is your favorite?  

ANYTHING GOES Monday

And So It Begins ~ Again!

In an effort to use my hand dyed fabric, I decided to do another round of half square triangles.    It seems to me that this style of quilt + hand dyed fabrics + color = delicious results.  So, here I am, knee deep in HST's!

Another reason.  Frankly, I want to use up a lot of my hand dyed fabrics.  I'm ready to break out the plastic, dyes and buckets and create some new fabric!  

The beginning string.

Sewn and ready to cut.

Cut and ready to iron and trim.

I started with 5" squares.  4 1/2" after all is said and done.  Tiny blocks compared to the previous quilt.  Plus this one will have a border and it will be smaller.  

The same, but different!  Happy Sunday!

Congratulations!!!

Way Back When...

Remember when you were celebrating the New Year?  Seems so long ago, doesn't it?!  If the first quarter is any indication...it's going to be busy year!

If you follow my blog, you know that I have been on a half square triangle kick this year.  My first project for the year was this quilt.  I blogged about it about it here.  

I finished quilting it a while ago and realized I never showed the finished piece.  So, here it is! 

I ended up quilting this one using 1/2" lines in an all over geometric design.  I sectioned off four areas and with my handy dandy hera marker, I carefully marked my lines.  Once marked the rest was a breeze!  Quilting went very fast, my lines lined up, my machine was a good girl and I was thrilled with the finished design!

The finished quilt is 56" x 81" with a crazy scrappy back and a pieced binding.  I ended up listing it in my Etsy Shop a couple weeks ago.  And much to my surprise it sold!   

My customer received it and loves it!  She messaged me a couple nights ago to tell me her and her daughter were snuggled underneath it watching a movie together!!  Hearing that made me smile...for many reasons.  One was, what she was doing with her daughter I was doing the exact thing with mine!  

Quilts are so much better when they are loved, used and shared!
