Christmas Ornament

From the 2012 Aurifil Designers of the Month Blog Hop I chose to make Gail Pan's Christmas Ornament. It looks good.

Easy Street Part 4 - 64 Stacked Geese ready to fly

Here they are, in stacks of four.

Now I am cutting green squares for a later step, 145 all together. I am eager to see how the finished product will look in the end. I bet it will look fantastic!

My biggest quilt completed!

I finished sewing the binding on the quilt for DS1 last night. Today I took it out in the poor winter daylight for a photo shoot in the forest.

The quilt is twin-size, 70" x 90", and is the biggest one I have made so far. Hopefully it will keep DS1 warm for a long time.

The design is inspired by Radio Way by Jaybird Quilts. I chose to make a scrappy version of it, most of the fabrics are strips of recycled shirts. I used grey yardage for the contrasting color. The backing is made from a duvet cover, and the binding is a solid darker grey.

The quilting is simple, I used the walking foot and quilted straight lines parallel to the stripes, approximately 2" apart.

I often use the forest close to my home for photo shoots. Today was a very windy and cold day. The wind was desperately trying to ruin my photo session, but I managed to get a few OK pictures.

Thankfully, the snow was very dry and fine-grained, so it was very easy to shake it off the quilt when I got home.

Binding has started

In October I started making this quilt posted here . It is twin-size and made almost completely of strips of recycled shirts.

 As you can see, the process of binding has started. The quilt is 70" x 90". and it requires a long binding. This is the biggest quilt I have made so far. DS1 is the recipient.

I am planning to hand sew the binding on the back starting tonight. Hopefully I will show pictures of the completed quilt during the weekend. I want to finish it as soon as possible so I can start on Easy Street Part 4 tomorrow.

Easy Street Part 3 completed!

This looks good, doesn't it? I completed all the 64 blocks today and put them together for the picture.

Now I have a couple of days to concentrate on quilting the twin size quilt for my son.

Started Easy Street Part 3

All the pieces are cut, and a few blocks are assembled. I hope I will have completed all 64 tomorrow. It is good to make colorful blocks!
