A Quilt for Dad




I made so many gifts..but waited so close to Christmas this year to do them! Here is the quilt I made for Dad using matrix to quilt the blocks, and I used spiral ornaments to do the sashing. I think it turned out good. I also made oven mitts that I am having trouble uploading pictures of, so for now we will just go with the quilt!

Starry Buggy Mess!



YAY! First Quilt Along Link Up!     This week I have been trying to pump out a few Christmas gifts that I have been working on, and decided to use some of the "quilt busting methods" as described by Leah Day in the Free Motion Quilt Along....I am so proud of my progress that for the first time I think I will link up! Here is a picure of the "Bug in A Jar" quilt I designed, quilted all over with starry mess. I did not overlap the stars but I am very happy with the result of this quilt ...and I was able to quit this entire toddler sized quilt in a few hours this morning.



    What little boy wouldn't like a bug quilt? :0) I made one for my nephew a couple years ago of the same fabric and he LOVED it! All that's left is to hand stitch the binding down. A great activity to do at night in front of the TV hahah!
