Pixie Squares

Finally my Pixie Squares quilt is finished!  OK I didn't start it that long ago, but still I am glad I have a finish.  It all started when I won a jelly roll of RJR's Pie Making Day.
















I love this line and it patiently waited while I looked at pattern after pattern trying to find just the right one to make.  In May I was browsing online and found Pixie Squares by Whistlepig Creek Designs.  It's modern and will fit the pattern wonderfully.  It is an instant download so I got right to work!   Did you notice RJR's jelly roll are actually called Pixie Strips and I used it to make Pixie Squares!



Before long I had this much done, and then I stalled on it to do other projects.  However I needed my design wall, so finishing the piecing of the top became my June OMG goal.

And by the end of June the top was finished.  And I had met my OMG goal.





















But the neat part was I won this bundle of Puzzle Pieces Fat Eighths from the OMG and Green Fairy!!  Now what will I make with this-at this time I have no idea, but not to worry I will get around to it:)

Then July OMG rolls around and I decided I needed to get the quilting done this month so it doesn't get to be a UFO.  But wouldn't cha know I forgot to get a post up for the OMG.  But it still got done!

A freehand allover feather done on my Funquilter was the perfect element to get it done and give it texture and movement.  My quilt measures 53" x 53".

I love the polka dot lime green that I picked up at SR Harris on my way home from the MN quilt show in June.  This was also used as the binding. 

Don't forget tomorrow starts Christmas in July there is quite a line up of blogs.   Wednesday is my day...

Linking with MCM, Monday Making, Chameleon’s Colour party, and Linky Tuesday

OMG quilt pieced

The Pixie Squares quilt is all pieced.  It was my choice for the June OMG challenge. The goal was to get it pieced and perhaps the quilting.  Time is running out and I have other things scheduled for the rest of the month.  The quilting will be my goal for next month.  I will show more photo's then.  BTW the pattern is by Whistlepig Creek.

I used the Pie Making Day by RJR jelly roll that I won last year, and white yardage for this quilt.  You can see how it looked at the beginning of the month HERE.  It really did go together quickly once I made myself sit back down and work on it!  

I'll be linking up with OMG at the end of the month.  And Tish's UFO busting today.  

I followed Jeanna's steps in correcting my email notifications of comments. Let's see if it worked for me:)
