By the end of Wednesday this is what my design wall looked like. I love the splash of color!
Sunday was a quick finish by binding the plaid donation quilt. I used a tan birdhouse fabric and another tan for the backing.
A large stipple to keep it soft for cuddles.
Monday I quilted this D9P(disappearing nine patch). During the week before I worked on piecing it in between other projects. A few of the nine patches were put together and then I got busy sewing the rest together and before long I had a flimsy. Working away at the mound of blue from the 90s and making a donation quilt is very satisfying. This makes #6 for this year.
In the nine patch I placed the lighter blues on the corners, a light print with blue hearts in the very center and the rest are 4 navy blue. For some reason these squares were cut at 4.5", no idea why!!
Look at what I used for the backing! These 4 panel squares of birds were given to me in a pile of other fabrics including the blue stripe here. So I combined then for the backing.
Wednesday I pieced all three of the pieces you see on the first photo of this post. Most of the parts were already cut out so it was fast piecing and then leaf blocks were all pieced too. The colorful squares for their borders were all strip pieced and I used my 2.5" strip cutter to cut them into sections.
Thursday I quilted the square one, got the photos and listed it in my shop.
I'll be quilting the other two soon.
Linking with TGIFF, Finished or Not Friday, I quilted this, Off The Wall and Beauties Pageant. Hope to go check out all the great inspiration there.
