Hello Spring quilt

I posted this photo on Instagram, it wasn't machine quilted yet.

 My son met me at the park at sunset, and took this photo with my little grand daughter Sabrina, and my quilt.  The reason the photo has a gold tone, is because it was reflecting the golden sunset.  We have spectacular sunsets in Arizona, every single evening.

I took these closeups of the beautiful machine quilting.  It looks like custom quilting, but it's an allover design called zen flowers.

I shared my finished quilt with my Farm Girl Chicks quilt group last week.  I'm holding it upside down!!! 😩

Pretty funny, but two other ladies shared the same quilt that they made too!  The pattern is called Hello Spring by Pen and Paper Designs.

I love sewing all of her patterns, the directions are perfect!

Thanks for following along, I'll see you next week :)

Hello Spring quilt

I've been gone for over a week, we attended our oldest grandson's high school graduation and spent time with some of our children and grandchildren.  

I didn't get any sewing done, but I actually finished all of the blocks for my Hello Spring quilt before I left town. I won this fat quarter bundle a few years and I'm so happy that I was able to use them for this quilt.  They are way cuter in person, each one has a little print that is very tiny. 

I love Lindsey's patterns, they're always so well written and easy to understand.   

This pattern isn't written for fat quarters, so I had to be little creative.  It calls for yardage, but I knew that fat quarters would work.

I'll see you next week :)

Hello Spring quilt

I have a few quilt alongs that I've joined.  When I first signed up, it seemed as though I had the time to make them and keep up.  I've since had some time consuming things come up, and am racing to get everything done. Quilting is my happy place when I'm not with family, it's a chance to relax.

I'm making the Hello Spring quilt pattern by 

Lindsey at Pen and Paper Designs.

 

During the pandemic, I won this beautiful fat quarter bundle for another quilt along I was participating in.  These are colors that I wouldn't have chosen myself, but I really, really love them!

I think that Hello Spring would be perfect for this bundle from 

Lamb & Loom.

I've cut all my pieces and will be sewing 3 ladybugs and 2 flowers, this week.

I'm also working on the Collector's Edition quilt, and the Picnic quilt layout of Lori Holt's with my Criss Cross star blocks. 

I'll keep sharing my progress.  Thanks for reading :)
