Finish it up FMQ Friday

Having been sick all week don't have enough hexies to show for a Hexie Friday, so here's a finish I hadn't reported yet.  It's another charity quilt.  This one I took all these bits of flannel that were left over from rag quilts and made a flimsy, then sandwiched and backed it with a cotton to get the reverse of what we usually make for St. Anne's.  That is flannel backed baby quilt.  Here's a cotton backed flannel baby quilt.

Those aren't black flannel pieces around it - midnight blue ones.  Measures about 34" square.  I used 4 different FMQ designs on it.  Here's the back

I'm linking to Leah's Free Motion Project and Crazy Mom's Finish it Up Friday.  See you there.  Thank you to all who sent prayers and good wishes while I was sick.  Docs didn't have a clue what was wrong. However, a friend has a friend who came down from Sacramento and had the EXACT same thing for the same length of time at the same time as I did!  I don't believe in coincidences.  Must have been some kind of bug - never felt flu-like or stomach virus like - oh well - it's over now - all all those tests they did - normal - which is reassuring.  Again, thanks for getting me through it!

Design Wall Monday 11/4/13

Let's forget Sunday. Spent it flat on my back between bouts of v and fainting.  Finally went to urgent care late PM and they gave me a bag of saline solution via IV and I was fine. Went home and slept through the night and now back to normal.

On my design wall are my blocks for my next VA quilt. Yes, those are wonky stars - forgot to add seam allowances to the paper templates.  But I think some Vet will sympathize as I'm sure some feel wonky, too. 

I'm also still playing with the circle of hearts for my LE.  While I liked the one with just two fabrics, I'm liking this one with 3 fabrics currently.  Feel it ties in more with the compass as it has one of the fabrics from it.

What's on your design wall?  I'm heading over to Judy's Patchwork Times , Lyn's BOMs Away , and Esther's WOW  to see eye candy.

Another Finish on Friday

My first landscape.  My friend, Bette, invited me to work along with her as she worked through a landscape quilt book.  She's such a good teacher!  Here is my landscape.  I love it!  It measures about 14 by 20" I need to add a hanging sleeve and then I'll hang it somewhere in the house where I can see it every day.

Will have to do another one - maybe Tuscany - will help me dream of one of the places I'd like to visit.

I'm linking over at Crazy Mom's Finish it Up Friday.  Lots of eye candy there.
