A Cobblestone finish-OMG

This is my second Cobblestone Path quilt I have made.  I love the fun modern look of it and I loved the red aqua fabrics, so together they made for an awesome quilt!  You can see the first one here.

Edited to say: When I post this today I forgot to say it is also my OMG this month!!!!!!  So I'll be linking up at Elm Street Quilts when it goes live.

                

All custom quilted on my Nolting Funquilter 17".  Two different feather sprays go the length of the print fabric columns.  Wishbones are quilted in the white sashings between the feather columns, and the white border all the way around the quilt.




The backing is pieced with some of the leftover prints.  I love print backings and I love pieced backings-a win win;)  They just add so much character to a quilt.



Hobbs 80/20 batting with Glide Thread.  This quilt is now in my Etsy shop.

I have no idea what these will become, but that is beside the point-right?  I am using stash fabric and getting something done, that is good enough for me this week!  These little guys will be 6" finished and oh so cute this size.
 

This week has been a busy week of cleaning in preparation for the local longarm meeting which I am hosting today. It's a great motivator for getting some deeper cleaning done!  Very appropriate that our meeting falls on Worldwide Quilting Day!  I have also been working on my projects for the Henry Glass Desire to Inspire Challenge which I need done by the end of the month. Hope all of you have had a good week.


And on behalf of my fellow Island Batik Ambassadors I wish you a
