Batik Circle quilt

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

After completing the applique blocks I also had time to piece the blocks together for my Batik Circle quilt. I am so exctied to get quilting on this quilt and have it for our bedroom.

But, this week I am finishing the quilting on the Generations Unite. I have the blocks quilted and am now working on the grid (which I LOVE (not really)) lines! The clock is ticking (and loudly) because I have to drop the quilts that I entered into the Northern Star Quilters show off for juding on Saturday and it needs to be washed and blocked before then. Better get back to quilting. George is loving all the attention.

Quilt for our bedroom

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I started this quilt back in 2007 as a wedding gift for my nephew. But, I decided that it was way to much work for a wedding gift quilt. As we were painting our bedroom I decided that it would be a great quilt to have on our bed. Here is a sneak peak of some of my plans. It seems good to be working with batiks and black again. Since I have been working on so many UFOs I have not been working with this color combination.

Here is the topper on the night table by my side of the bed. The night tables we already had were to big for the space on my side of the bed. So, we went out looking for something that was about 12″ square (not alot of furniture that size). Made me wish my Dad was still alive because I know that he would have built me something. Oh well, we found a kitchen stool and I am going to use it. It will have a black circle table cloth with a colorful topper on it.

I am really excited about how I am thinking of quilting the quilt. I have a fun technique for the back planned, but you will have to wait because it is a surprise.

Here is a picture of the entire topper.
