As you saw, I did do a lot on my pixelated quilt.  OK, I know you've seen it, and I know the picture doesn't do it well, but you can see the closeup of a sunflower can't you? In between doing this (it's 2.5 inch squares with a complicated map to follow - I'll put out the pattern if it looks good and people like it) I made table mats to match the table runner (upon the request of my husband) Love the colors and the design.  I got three projects completed in one night.  Two are quilted and one to design a quilt pattern.  I'm very happy about this.  Love when you get things done.

2015 Finish Along - Going Simple

So far in the 1/2 year that I've joined this group I have failed to complete what I've said I would complete.  I am still over doing it, with 5 BOM's and finishing last year's BOMs (most have their blocks done, it's to complete it and then free style quilt them).   With this in mind I am making a list of only two things to complete in the next three months.   This first one will take at least two months but I'm hoping to complete the  online class by Leah Day "Free Motion Quilting a Quilt".  I completed the BOM I made by Amy Gibson "Craftsy Block of the Month 2012" and now I want to quilt it.  I loved the block of the month class and really learning in Leah's class as well.  But each video take about an hour and then there is the practice to do before doing the block on your quilt.  So last month  I only got one block down of the quilt, but I did free style stitch in the ditch the entire quilt, and I'm on my way to learnin

I have one goal and here it is: The online class by Leah Day "Free Motion Quilting a Quilt" finishes/quilts the quilt I have made by Amy Gibson "Craftsy Block of the Month 2012"  Loved the block of the month class and really learning in Leah's class as well.  But the videos take about an hour and then there is the practise to do before doing it on your quilt.  So last month  I only got one block down of the quilt, but I did free style stitch in the ditch the entire quilt, and I'm on my way to learning over 14 different styles of free motion quilting. Here is one block that was done last month.   One section done. Close up - learned paisley And so I'm saying that I'll get this quilt done by the end of April (or at least half done!! - Just kidding). That's it, and that simple.  I need to learn all these styles of free motion quilting in order to complete my sunflower pixelated quilt (se
