Japanese X
curved sewing lines |
Cute little boy fabric for the backing |
I finished up this little 44" X 52" scrappy madness, putting cute baby fabric on the back helps soften it a bit.

now going on at Stitched in color.

Too Scrappy
Japanese X block |
instead of just randomly picking scraps and sewing them together? What do you think?
I started these awhile ago then jumped into Scrap attack but when I put this little quilt up on my design board to have a look........ well it might just be too much going on! I think it is hard to see what the block started off to be. So I think I am going to stop here and quilt it for a baby quilt. Time to move onto the next project.
Happy Sewing, Kim

Ho Ho Ho
pin basting This little table topper is completely inspired by other peoples blogs, I'm sorry I can't find the url of this Ho Ho Ho quilt but I started it a year ago. (Kathie found the url for me to share from "fun with Barb and Mary" ) The H's and O's are nine patch blocks. The quilting is inspired but not as well done as the quilting I saw at |
"Crazy Mom Quilts" tutorial too.
Go see what every one else has finished over at Finish it up Fridays with "Crazy Mom Quilts" .
Happy Sewing,
Kim
machine quilting |

machine applied binding front and back, with help from CrazyMomQuilts tutorial. |
It's all done and ready to give for next Christmas! |

block #5 |
This month's designer is John Adams.
One block a month is my kind of sew along :0).

I can see that this block would look better without a patterned background. |

Mini Quilt
Before I did full size quilts I used to make mini quilts. Over the holidays I made a mini quilt
following along with Temecula Quilt co. , I could not resist :0).
They call it the "Twelve days of Christmas" and sent a clue to my email each day of the little mystery. I used the fabric I won from Kate Spain called "Terrain" to follow along. Each day used the number of pieces of fabric for the twelve days of Christmas in a 3.5 inch block. So the 1st day has one piece of fabric and the 12th day has twelve pieces. Very fun and easy, it is still online if you want to make one.
I think I'll share this over at Lily'squilts too :0)
Happy sewing,
Might as well use this on finish it up Friday over at Crazy mom Quilts too right? Stop by so you can visit lots of blog with finished projects too.......why not show yours?

Making progress on Orca Bay
My progress Yesterday Bonnie Hunter revealed her Orca Bay mystery! Now if I had finished more of the clues I could have put it together, but I had to work with the pieces I had . Then I made a row of flipped blocks so had to resew those. But I'm really happy with my progress so far and look forward to finishing this quilt in the next few weeks. Thank you Bonnie! Every year Bonnie does a free mystery quilt! It is not too late for you to start this one too. Happy New Year! |
