Quilt Top is Finished!

I was up past midnight last night trying to make the coin rows even (I did a so-so job) and finishing up the top to Pinky's rainbow quilt. It's far from perfect, but I really love it! I know Pinky will too. Here's a peek at the top - I need to have this finished by Saturday so I will post pictures of the final product then.



I can't wait to add the butterfly backing fabric!

Quilt Progress...

I continue to chug along on Pinky's Rainbow Quilt. Less than 2 weeks until it needs to be done!

I ordered this purple fabric for sashing between the coin rows (and I hope it arrives soon!):


And this Michael Miller fabric (Wings of Peace) for the backing fabric (Pinky loves butterflies):

Busy Quilting!

Now that my sewing machine is back (and sewing like a dream!) I can finally buckle down and work on Wild One and Pinky's birthday quilts. These quilts are both very bright and vibrant.

I finished the quilt top of Wild One's Sock Monkey quilt in one afternoon. You have to love strip quilts! Quick and easy! The fabric I used is Moda's Funky Monkey line.


I plan to back this with a combination of these two fabrics from the same line:


And bind with this (also from the same line):


Since I had to order the backing and binding fabric I had some downtime. I decided to get a head start on Pinky's rainbow quilt. Here are the first two stacked coin rows. I still have 3 more to go, then I will sash it with purple fabric (her favorite color). I haven't decided on a backing fabric yet. Any ideas?


I hope to have completed pictures soon!!

Pinky's Rainbow Quilt

Okay, I've finally made a decision on my next quilt (and it involved buying more fabric -I'm developing quite the stash). Pinky has repeatedly told me that she wants a "rainbow blanket." After a lot of searching, I finally bought this fabric from ebay:

The fabric is called Pizazz, and I love that it has 18 different colors. I am going to do my own version of a stacked coins pattern (I got the idea from here). I am still debating what color fabric to use for the sashing - white or purple (Pinky's favorite color). I'm leaning towards purple right now, but will hold off making my decision until I have the fabric and am able to lay out all the strips.

Wish me luck!
