I Did It!!!!!

Anyone remember THIS??

Yup, that would be the quilt along that I joined...LAST JUNE!

And now, almost a year later...

I have finished Avery's quilt!

{obviously, I did not "quilt along"}

The top squares have been sewn into rows,

the rows have been sewn into a quilt top,

the quilt top, filling and backing have been quilted together,

the binding has been sewn on,

it has been washed so that it is nice and crinkly...

and tonight Avery is sleeping under her brand new quilt!!!

YIPEE!!!!

Quilt Along...Take 2

As some of you know, I joined an online quilt along back in June.

I had some fabrics left over from Avery's nursery & was super excited to make a quilt for her.

You can see my fabric selection here,

Step one here,

and Steps two & three here.

And that's where it stopped...

why you may ask?

Well, we had back to back vacations for one...

...and it could have something to do with this:

Thanks to Crystal at Little Bit Funky though,

I am back on track!

I have joined her quilt along, and now instead of looking like a quitter, I can look like an over achiever!! :)

Here {finally} is the beginning of the quilt top!

More Quilt Along

So I'm about a week behind on the quilt along,

but I'm getting there slowly but surely...

I finally have all my strips sewn together and cut into blocks.

I completely understand now why quilts are so expensive!!!
Next step...
sewing these blocks together into rows,

and then sewing the rows together to make create my quilt top!

Whew!

quilt along...

I got a little time to work on my quilt over the weekend.

All the fabric is now cut into 2 1/2" strips.

Every time I look at the fabric, I love it even more!

Next step...sewing the strips together in sets of 6.
I'm also wondering why I didn't invest in a rotary cutter sooner??
This thing ROCKS! If you do any amount of sewing, get yourself one of these. You won't be dissapointed!

Quilt Along...

Feeling crafty and looking for something to fill your time?

Join me in the Old Red Barn Co. Quilt Along...

It's not too late!

Fabric yumminess...

all of this yummy fabric... will {hopefully} be turned into a quilt for Avery!

Thanks to this great idea...a quilt along!

Three of the fabrics are left over from Avery's baby bedding, the rest I had a GREAT time picking out at an amazing shop in Ft. Worth called Cabbage Rose.

I could spend way too much money in there!
