Design Wall Monday, April 8, 2013

My design wall has a strip on it. It's for my Starlit Evening quilt and it's for the final border. It's going to take a while to get enough for the border. It goes on three sides for the queen size.

One of the reasons I haven't finished the stripe is because I am quilting the quilt for my nephew who was married over the summer.

I actually had two nephews that were married over the summer about a year apart...both belonging to my sister, Robin.

I'm using my old faithful "Svanes Swirl" pattern, lol.

Make sure and stop by to see what everyone else is up to.

Hope you're having a quilty day!

Progress on Starlit Evening

I have had several people ask how this quilt goes together.

It goes together in rows.

I especially love where the blocks come together and make a hexie with three different fabrics.

And here's a picture with the quilt on my new design wall that I hope to show you in a future post. It was easy to construct and VERY inexpensive. Also, it's very portable.

Now, I just need to get the borders on. There's a couple of white borders and a pieced border utilizing the fabrics from the quilt. LOVE it!

Hope you have a quilty day!

Kiddos In the Morning

I thought I would give you an idea of what it's like at my house in the morning.

Here are my four kiddos waking up.

Olivia goes to public school, so she's headed out on the bus, but the other kids are homeschooled and so they get to wake up a little slower.

Mariah wrapped in her quilt I made her.

Sophi coming up the steps

Heading out for the bus

My son waking up

How do your kiddos wake up?

Happy April Fools Day!!!

On my design wall this morning is my Starlit Evening quilt. I'm about half finished piecing the middle!

I'll still have the borders to finish when I'm done here.

Make sure that you check out what everyone else is up to at Judy's.

Have a quilty day!
