scrappy trip along finished

I finally finished my scrappy trip along quilt!

It is so colorful that it makes me happy to look at it : )

I quilted with big stitches using variegated crochet thread.

The binding is scrappy too.

It is a lap-size quilt, the perfect size for sitting on the porch.

quick curves ruler color play

I purchased a Quick Curves ruler and could't wait to try it out, so I pulled

some solids and had some fun!

I think I like it!  I will probably machine quilt with straight lines, but

I am trying to decide if I want to use variegated thread or not : )

a little improv

I am having some fun playing with solids and improv piecing!

I don't know where it is going, but I am enjoying the bright colors of the journey : )

big stitches on a dreary day

Today is cold and dreary....a good day for stitching my neglected scrappy trip along quilt.

Now if I could just keep my cat off of my lap! : )

zig zag baby quilt

I made a baby quilt for a sweet little baby girl.  I hosted a shower for her

mom this week-end, and the little one should be arriving in April.

I used her nursery colors as a guide, but this is not part of the nursery decor.

I don't ever like to give a quilt with the expectation that I am trying to decorate

their home.  I just want the quilts to be enjoyed and used : )

I machined quilted along the zig zags.  Adding some big stitches in fuchsia

The quilt measures 33" X 50".

I used Kona snow and various browns from my stash.  The pop of color backing fabric is

from Amy Butler's Love called Sunspots for Rowan.  

The little one doesn't have a name yet(or maybe they just haven't told

anyone yet), but I can't wait to meet her!
