A FMQ Finish

Busy entertaining, but here's the latest charity quilt I finished earlier in the week.  It's all done  - free motion quilted and bound.

 

I FMQed around the circles and the inner squares in the sashing rows.  This pattern went together quickly.  I was trying to use up some of the many strips of solids that were given to St. Anne's.  I traced the butterfly design on freezer paper, cut it out and ironed it to the center of the circles and then sewed around the design - that way no paper to tear off.  I also made each butterfly with a different color of thread.

Family Friday

My son and grandson are visiting from CO!  I'm so excited!!  Hexie's next Friday, I very much hope so.  Go to Billie's Blog to see hers and the Linky Party. Enjoy!

Wow! It's Applique Tuesday

I'm so befuddled.  It wasn't until seeing Esther's WOW that I realized it was Tuesday again, and time to post about some applique in my life.  I actually finished LE Part 3:

If this doesn't look different to you - I added the heart circles and the oak leaf units on the sides. Now I'm adding a vase of flowers in the left bottom corner and for the live of me, can't decide what to use for the vase.  Here are 6 I am considering:

  The two bright ones look both orangy but the upper right one is really red.  Now which of these would you pick for a vase of flowers given the colors you see in the center I am working on?  I really want to know.  And if you have eye candy to share - that would be so great!  Linky below.
