Yes, it's a runner

Installment 1 of the ones that didn't sell last weekend.
I actually really like them all, but I think there may be a limit to how many you can have.
It's in my Etsy store right now.

Runner (and pillow) time!

I warned you!
I'm trying to come up with a name for this one but I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Random logs

Here's what I did yesterday. I made this top quite a while ago. Wow, I didn't realize it was that long ago until I started searching for the post!

Yesterday I did the basting, quilting, and binding. And of course the washing and drying for the lovely, cuddly, wrinkly look.

I wanted the pastel log cabins to randomly float in the white background.

I actually bought backing fabric for this quilt, but penny-pinching me did not buy enough, so I still had to do some piecing. I always end up loving pieced backs though.

I l-o-v-e the little bunny fabric.

I purposely kept the quilting big and loose on this one because I wanted it to stay soft and plyable. The denser quilting is, the stiffer the quilt turns out.

Minny Muu Baby Quilt

I'm definitely not as prolific as some people, but I did finally manage to finish one baby quilt. I used the Minny Muu squares I received recently.

Things are a little hectic around here getting ready for school to start on Tuesday, but once that happens I will hopefully be back more regularly.

Flirting with Fall

That's what I call my newest table runner. I made this before we left for Hawaii.

Raspberry Sundae

or "What I did yesterday"
I'm, once again, seriously contemplating keeping this one, but how many table runners does one person need? The pink is just tugging at my heartstrings.

I'm especially happy with the contrasting quilting on the brown fabric.

Finished up!

I finished the "winging it" quilt.

It was loosely based on Denyse Schmidt's Hop, Skip & Jump quilt but I really just looked at the photo and went from there.
It's about 60"x65" and made ENTIRELY from stash fabrics. The only thing I bought was the batting. Of course I actually bought everything in the quilt at some point...
As you can probably see from the multitude of photos, I'm very happy with this one.

I added a little twist to the quilting in the form of a tiny leaf every so often. You really have to study the quilt to notice them though.

The binding is a tiny checkerboard - the only fabric I had enough of.

I didn't have enough of anything for the back, so I had to piece. Another happy accident. I think it almost looks like another quilt.



Because I already have so many quilts, I'm seriously considering listing this one on Etsy. It does look really good on the chair in the entryway though...
