Applique Tuesday

I'm quilting my quiltlet.  I'm entering it in the Steal Game at Guild tomorrow, so I have to finish it tonight.  It's from a wall hanging in Quiltmaker, Nov/Dec 13 issue.  I just resized it and made it fit the around 12"  needed for the piece. It has applique and piecing - my favorite combo.

I'll post a finished photo Friday.  What are you up to?  Would love to see your eye candy. Linky  below.

Design Wall Monday 11/18/13

No stash report this week.  Everything was already accounted for and it wasn't that much anyway as I had my son and grandson here from CO.  It was so much fun to have them here and have some quality time with them.  They leave tomorrow in the afternoon back home.  We will miss them.

On my design wall is the latest VA quilt that I will be binding.  This was the July challenge at our guild.  I resized the blocks to make the quilt 36" by 45" .  It was an Ivory Spring pattern that was adapted for the challenge.  You can see the pattern here. And by the way those squares set on point are appliqued - my way of combining applique and piecing.

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.
