Oh happy day I have managed to finish two of my UFO'S the past couple of days , want to see ?
My Cottage quilt which was a free BOM with Shabby Fabrics for 2012 , I loved making this quilt , just delightful .Here it is spread out on the grass for a better view of the entire quilt.
It is very sunny today so the colors are a bit washed out , I did sew a hanging sleeve on the back just incase I decide to hang this quilt.
Next is my nine patch / 6" sampler blocks , the nine patch blocks were from an exchange with friends for several months last year and we had so much fun we decided to do it again this year only changed it to pinwheels .
It was a great exchange and I look forward to the pinwheels to make another colorful quilt.
On the grass with one corner flipped up , I used a paisley fabric that has been in my stash for so many years I forgot I had it , bet you have never done that ;-) The back is actually pieced , i didn't have quite enough of the paisley so added some extra nine patch blocks to make it work .
I have been a busy little beaver as I also added round 5 of the mystery quilt yesterday .
Here it is on my clothes line , that dark spot is just that the quilt was not spread out enough , it is the same color as the rest.
I had to fight with the wind to take this photo and the top row kept folding over so I gave up . I am so loving this mystery which is shared with us by the talented
Darlene of Quilts by Darlene , thanks so much Darlene ! Can't wait to see what round 6 will bring .
It is a gorgeous sunny day so I am trying to catch up on laundry so off I go ,thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day doing something fun ,maybe not laundry :-)
hugs Sheila

Wow, you've been sewing up a storm! Lovely finishes and I like the dark sashing you used in your nine patch quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh, the cottage quilt is just so fun and love the samplers surrounded with 9-patch setting. The mystery quilt has been fun to watch how everyone is turning out their 'own' style from the same pattern.
ReplyDeleteOh Sheila...I just love your cottage quilt. they are all wonderful...the nine patch and that mystery quilt is fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous finishes! Your cottage quilt is so sweet...I can see how great it would look hanging on a wall. Love the 9-patch...always a favorite. And your Mystery quilt is stunning...all your fabrics look wonderful!
