Welcome to my stop on <a href="http://ebmakery.com/">Shannon Orr's</a> <a href="http://ebmakery.com/acreage-blog-tour/">Acreage Blog Tour</a>!! I was super privileged to piece a quilt for her debut line for Moda this past spring...check out my version of her <a href="http://ebmakery.com/product-category/sewing-pattern/">Bonny Dresden Quilt Pattern</a> below. This picture was featured in her <a href="https://issuu.com/sgillmanorrportfolio/docs/acreage_lookbook2">look book</a>.</div>

As if I wasn't lucky enough to make that quilt, I was able to hop aboard
this blog tour! I decided to make the Adorn pattern from <a href="http://camilleroskelley.typepad.com/">Camille Roskelley's</a> second book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Simply-Retro-Camille-Roskelley-Classic/dp/1607056844?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1607056844&linkCode=as2&redirect=true&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&tag=simplify04-20">Simply Retro</a>. I added wider strips to make it a baby quilt. I used this<a href="http://www.shannonfabrics.com/download_patterns/Self-BindingBabyBlanketandLoveyPattern.pdf"> self-binding tutorial</a> from the Shannon Fabrics website and backed in Cuddle Dimple that matches the Acreage pinks. (The color is a little off in this first pic. The color is more accurate in the last two pictures.)</div>

I'm so excited and honored to be participating in another blog hop for Bonnie. Her fabrics and designs are absolutely stunning and I really love working with Art Gallery Fabrics. They make some of the softest fabrics in the industry. This blog tour came at a perfect time. I have a friend who was due right about the time that Bonnie announced the tour. Of course I had to make a sweet baby quilt using some of the Forest Floor fabrics. The floral prints in this line are perfection, and the bunnies? Don't even get me started on the cuteness. <br />
<br />

I used 4 fat quarters (blocks) and a half yard (binding) for the quilt I made. All but one of the fabrics I chose for this quilt came from the Late Night palette (above). The pattern I used was a version of Camille Roskelley's pattern Little Man from her first book, Simplify. <br />

I backed it with the closest blue I could find of Cuddle Dimple by Shannon Fabrics. Super soft, and a great addition to the softness of the Art Gallery cottons.<br />

My life has literally been a whirlwind in the past 6 months. Summer took an unexpected turn when my youngest son, who had just turned 4, was involved in a freak accident that left him with nothing more than a broken leg. He was put in a body cast for several weeks, and life was emotionally and physically exhausting for the both of us. Just 24 hours prior to his accident, I received a grim prognosis for my ESA and companion, Millie. I had to put her down just days after my son's accident. I wasn't at all prepared for these two events, but life throws us curve-balls when we aren't prepared, right?<br />
<br />
About the same time, I started working as an independent contractor for Shannon Fabrics. What started as a trial run soon turned into a regular job for me and I couldn't have asked for a greater company to work for.<br />
<br />
They allowed me to travel and participate in Quilt Market last weekend. After the summer, the 5 days of sweating, visiting, walking, physical labor, and stress of deadlines, turned out to be the most relaxing 5 days I have had in years. I came back rejuvenated, with a new outlook on things, and more excited than ever about this industry we all love so much. I met so many new people. I put faces to names. I learned a lot. And even though I mostly felt like I was a little out of place, everyone was so welcoming and kind.<br />
<br />
I really can't wait for my next adventure, and I truly hope its an opportunity to meet so many more of you out there. Quilt market in Salt Lake City is going to be even better, and I'll be more prepared. I hope you all get a chance to attend at least one event like it. It's inspiring.<br />

Hello!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to my stop on the BC+RR Blog Tour! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so excited to be participating in <a href="http://www.goinghometoroost.com/" target="_blank">Bonnie Christine's</a> blog tour to promote her line of ribbons! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a lot of designers that I like for different reasons but Bonnie's designs are so me. Colorful, deep, and whimsical. Everything I love about fabric design wrapped into one designer. So no surprise that I jumped at the chance to work with her line of ribbons <a href="http://renaissanceribbons.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=bonnie+christine&x=13&y=11" target="_blank">she designed for </a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">Renaissance Ribbons</a>. I had a few ideas for things that I wanted to make, but the hardest part was deciding what and how to make it so I knew how much fabric and ribbon to order!! I should've just ordered everything I could!! Oh well...maybe another blog tour is in my future. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing I chose was the ribbon I wanted to work with, followed by my fabric choices. That was a tough decision. I mean, just look at all this gorgeousness!!!</div>

For my project, I decided to make a pillow. There were several ways I
could do it, but I wanted to use the reverse applique technique, with an
envelope and D-ring strapped backing.<br />

A while back I decided to put together a mini quilt for my friend <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/" target="_blank">Allison</a>. Since she moved from Idaho a few years back we have only seen each other once since then (thanks for letting me tag along to market Al!). She was my neighbor here in The Burg and our oldest kids are the same age. I was sad that they were moving to WA but very happy she would be nearer to her parents (who are just as awesome as she is, by the way). To surprise her and show her I was thinking about her I made and sent this mini quilt. I drafted my own pattern/measurements from her Suburbs pattern and I think she has something in the works for this mini, so stay tuned to her blog!

There were so many participants and things got a little hectic for the amazing swap mamas. So I volunteered to make an angel mini if they needed one, and they did. The lady they assigned me loves all the same things that I do. Sarah Jane, Lizzy House, Cluck Cluck Sew, etc. The first thing I did was pull out all my hoarded scraps from all my favorite lines/designers and decided to make her a mini quilt using a <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/">Cluck Cluck Sew</a> pattern called Juice Boxes (find the original quilt patter <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2010/08/juice-boxes.html">HERE</a>).<br />

With her permission, I give you the Juice Box Mini tutorial. This tutorial is great for extra charm squares. So you will need 12- 5" charms for your backgrounds and 12- 1.5" squares for your centers. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From each of your charm squares cut the four following rectangles, 1.25" x 4", 1.5" x 1.25", 1.5" x 2.25", and 2.25" x 4". See pic above for a visual. Arrange your pieces how you would like them to look.I fussy cut my centers and a few of my backgrounds, so I had to lay them out exactly how I wanted them to make sure that my centers were spread out how I wanted them. </div>

Once you find a good layout, start by sewing your three center pieces together. Press your seems open. Then add your two side pieces to your center piece. Continue for all 12 blocks.<br />

So I've been unpacking and trying to catch up on sewing projects. That little man up there in the picture started the second grade a little over a week ago and will be turning 8 next month. He's so excited to start Cub Scouts and is already making lots of friends in the neighborhood. This has been a long time coming and we couldn't be more thrilled with the house and town that we are blessed to raise our boys in.<br />
<br />
My other "little" started pre-school last week and is still trying to master potty training.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, my in-laws have moved in with us until they leave to serve a mission for our church. They brought along two big furry friends, a chocolate and a black lab. So its been fun so far and will continue to be fun for the boys to have a couple more loyal companions.<br />
<br />
On the sewing front, I've been trying to catch up on sewing in between organizing the house, painting the house, getting kids started in school, and making the youngest go potty in the potty.<br />
<br />
I finally braved paper piecing in order to make this little (and by little I mean 19") pillow cover out of economy blocks. I LOVE this block. It's so easy and fun to make! I used the <a href="http://www.redpepperquilts.com/2013/08/economy-block-quilt-in-progress-tutorial.html">Red Pepper Quilts tutorial that is free on Craftsy</a>. You just download the template and go. There was a bit of a learning curve and I made a couple mistakes but once I got started those blocks were kind of addicting. At least I finally dug in to my scraps and used some of my favorites that have been in there for a long time.<br />

If you aren't familiar with this competition. Here's a little about it in Rach's words:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What is Sewvivor? </b></div>
"It's a sewing competition that I created on my blog, and its loosely
inspired by the show Survivor. We've had two successful seasons so far,
with some outstanding sewing and competitors. The main idea is that
anyone can audition, "sewlebrity" judges help choose our contestants, we
have 4 weeks of sewing competition with specific challenges, and a
couple Sew-vivor "twists" along the way. The judges and public vote for
their favorites after each challenge. The winners score some amazing
prizes at the end."<br />
<br />
Many of the competitors from past seasons were seamstresses. Sewing garments has never been my strong suit. I tried entering a quilt in the first season and the competition is tough when you are competed against the cutest little girl dresses you've ever seen! So I skipped season 2 all together. But since this season is all about quilting, I'm all over it.<br />
<br />
So on to my audition quilt! <br />

I know you're probably sick of seeing this quilt, but it's my favorite quilt that I've made to date. It was entirely cut, pieced, pressed, basted, quilted and bound by me..for me. I'm absolutely in love with the Scout Pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew and I had to make it for myself.<br />
<br />
I gathered the fabrics as I shop hopped the annual Eastern Idaho Shop Hop that includes Eastern Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. It's a very long and tiring trip driving through all that country but it's absolutely wonderful to take a road trip like it every once in a while.<br />

It was funny, the faces I'd get when I'd pull out my growing pile at each store. Those women must've thought I was nuts putting all these fabrics together. But I love what I love. Bright, scrappy, and a mix of modern and traditional prints in modern colorways. I've never been the type of person to make a quilt using only one line of fabric. I love to put together my own bundles.<br />

Once I was done pieceing I knew that I wanted to quilt it in a couple of different tight FMQ designs all on my little Viking domestic machine. Since I knew that this quilt would be well loved, I wanted to make sure it held together over time. I used my favorite white Superior Threads Magnifico thread and used three different designs. A back and forth curve in the feathers similar to the quitling on the original quilt that Allison made. Then I tried something new in the sahsing and to date, it's my favorite design to use now, and a little rope design in the arrow portion of the quilt.<br />

It's backed in the cutest little Alexander Henry print and my favorite print from Kate Spain's line Central Park. (and yes, I am in my pajama pants holding up a quilt in 90 degree weather)<br />

I hope you enjoyed visiting my blog and learning more about this quilt. It has become a popular quilt in my house and my boys always grab it for themselves even though it's "Mom's quilt"!Jaymehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16672374888879409807noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796649355579609973.post-86280028868326704302014-05-18T14:06:00.000-07:002014-05-18T14:07:16.033-07:00Bloggers Quilt Festival<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week is Blogger's Quilt Festival over at <a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/">Amy's Creative Side</a>. Pretty convenient timing considering this weekend was also International Quilt Market. Was everyone as sad as I was that I couldn't attend? My jealousy levels spiked while perusing my IG feed this week. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this season's festival, I decided to enter in two quilts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first one is this Birthday Quilt that I made back in January. You can find the original blog post <a href="http://findingsweetland.blogspot.com/2014/01/happy-90th-birthday.html">HERE</a>. There are 15 hand prints appliqued to this quilt and I really <i>really</i> love the way it turned out! I do wish that I had gotten better pictures of it before it was sent off to it's owner, but the weather just wasn't cutting it for such a springy quilt! I used mostly Marmalade by Bonnie and Camille for Moda.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am also entering in my Doll Quilt from a group swap on Flickr. I really enjoyed making this little whimsical doll quilt for my partner. It's got a little guy throwing a paper airplane and a little girl swinging on a swing. It's something fun and playful and imaginative!</div>

But I did manage to get a few swap items made.<br />
<br />
Of course, I completely forgot to take pics of my Sew Sew Modern items. And my partner is still waiting on it to arrive. But here is was my amazing partner sent me:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I now am the owner of my very own Weekender. I am in love.<br />
<br />
The next swap I participated in was the MFSG. The lovely <a href="http://oneygirl-myquiltingadventure.blogspot.com/">Leona</a> was my partner and she sent me an awesome package:<br />
<br />

<br />
That pezzy print...in love. I've never used washi tape and I'm officially a fan! Can't wait to get my hands on more.<br />
<br />
The next swap is the FLiPS swap. My partner is Ruth. She LOVES The Wizard of Oz and all of her pin cushions in previous rounds have been W.of.O themed. I googled "W.of.O themed pincushions" and after searching for a while, came across <a href="http://plays-with-needles.blogspot.com/2008/10/something-wicked-this-way-comes.html">this post</a>. I'm not normally a W.of.O person, but I LOVED that pincushion. So I hit up ebay and after some debating on whether I wanted to do Dorothy or the Wicked Witch, I actually decided on this guy, being that it was Valentine's day and all. I had a hard time trying to figure out how to make him stand on the stacked hearts. I called my husband over and the first thing he did was sit him down. Genius. So with a little glue this guy sits a top his thrown of hearts. They are filled with crushed walnut shells and fiberfill. I think that by picking one particular character to work with, that opens the door for Ruth's future partners who maybe aren't as familiar with the W.of.O as some of her previous partners were. I hope she likes it!<br />

Wow it has been a while! These past couple weeks have brought about some much needed destashing, a couple of colds, very little sewing, more trips to the post office than most people make in a 6 month period, and the most dangerous...BUYING fabric on Instagram from #thegreatfabricdestash. It's been nuts. Seriously. If you have little to no self-discipline than DO NOT follow that hashtag on Instagram. It's dangerously expensive, and addicting. However, I did manage to snag quite a few prints that I, naively, did
not buy 2 years ago while shop hopping. If I had, I would've saved a lot
of time these past two weeks, and a lot of money. :( </div>

And some time in between all the destashing and stashing, I also put together this giant star baby quilt for a customer on Etsy. She sent me a picture she loved of a quilt made in "Hometown" by Sweetwater which is out of print and pretty hard to come by unless you have to the money to buy scraps here and there. So I did the next best thing and hit up my l.q.s. and bought fabrics that resembled the style of the line and that were similar in tone.</div>

Towards the end of November my aunt Tracy contacted me about making a hand print quilt for someone very special in her family. I instructed her to have all those participating trace their hands onto card stock and to send them to me. I appliqued them to white Kona cotton and used invisible thread to secure them to the background. I used <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2012/06/tutorial-squares-and-strips-bed-quilt.html">Allison's Squares and Stripes Bed Quilt</a> tutorial as a guideline but upped the size of the blocks to 10" unfinished to accommodate the hands and decided not to use the 16 patch squares. For the quilting I used a basic stipple with tracing around the hands. The fabric is <a href="http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_marmalade.pdf">Marmalade by Bonnie and Camille</a> (with two other FQ's I had in my stash), the backing is <a href="http://www.pinkchalkfabrics.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14546">this print</a> from <a href="http://lilyashbury.com/tag/high-street/">Highstreet by Lily Ashbury for Moda</a>, and the binding is a <a href="http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_scrumptious.pdf">green dot from Scrumptious by Bonnie and Camille</a>. I didn't get many pics of this quilt. In fact, I got one. I finished it at 8:30am this morning, hit up my hubs office to have him hold it so I could take a picture, and sent it on its way to my aunt this afternoon so they could give it to Grandma Duke at her 90th birthday celebration. I really really hope they like it!!!</div>

At the end of October I came across a post from a photographer in Florida that I follow on Facebook. Her name is <a href="http://alexmichelephotography.com/">Alex Michele</a> and her photos are stunning. She was looking for some vendors to showcase on her blog that could provide goods that would be beneficial to photographers. I contacted her because I believe that quilts can provide some wonderful detail and color to newborn photography.</div>

Those photos are just a few of the wonderful pictures that my sister takes with quilts. Alex asked her vendors to make 4-5 products based on her style, her son Henry, or specific photos of our choosing. I visited <a href="http://alexmichelephotography.com/">her website</a> and picked out the photos I wanted to use as my inspiration and went from there.</div>

Please excuse the bad lighting in the pics that showcase the quilting and backing detail. It was cold and raining when I took the pictures, so they were taken inside. </div>

When I reached <a href="http://maureencracknellhandmade.blogspot.com/">Maureen's blog</a>, there was something that was drawing me into the first photo. I continued to read the post and then returned my eyes to the photo that was calling to me. I realized my photographic eye was catching the slight glow that the quilt was giving off despite the fact that it was photographed on a dark snowy day.<br />
<br />
I immediately emailed Maureen to offer to brighten the background of her photos so that her darkened scenery would match the gorgeous brightened quilt. She was so excited that I had contacted her because at the same time she had been working on putting together a calendar for 2014 and wanted to make sure her photos would do it justice. OF COURSE THEY DO!! She's an amazing photographer, which comes naturally, I'm sure, because of her creative mindset. <a href="http://maureencracknellhandmade.blogspot.com/">Maureen, being the super artistic and busy mama that she is</a>, completed at least 1 quilt each month in addition to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/maureencracknell">all the other amazing things she makes</a>.<br />
<br />
So hop on over to her blog to see <a href="http://maureencracknellhandmade.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-year-of-quilting.html">all the photos</a> that will be showcased in her debut calendar for 2014. These would make awesome presents and provide year round inspiration for your quilty friends!<br />
<br />
While you're there, be sure to visit her <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maureencracknellhandmade/">Flickr gallery</a> to see more eye candy of all her amazing quilts and projects! <br />

But that's okay, because these blocks are totally worth all the time and effort that goes into them. I haven't decided on my final layout, since I have a long way to go, but I'm getting excited about the progress.<br />

I recently received the pillow below and a bunch of fun things came with it for the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1197421@N20/">Pillow Talk Swap Holiday Edition</a>! I super duper love the piping on the pillow. It frames out that amazing paper pieced center. I also love that my partner <a href="http://trilliumdesign.blogspot.com/">Caroline (trilliumdesign)</a> used <a href="http://heatherross.squarespace.com/journal/announcing-briar-rose-by-heather-ross-for-windham-fabrics.html">Heather Ross' Briar Rose</a> fabric...I have yet to cut into the stack I got at Spring Quilt Market last year but when I do, it will be for myself and I'll have a matching set! Woot!<br />

She has the most fabulous selection of modern fabrics and she just moved over to a new site (instead of Etsy). Last week when I finished my Scout quilt, I didn't win the initial giveaway, but Amanda must've seen something she liked in my quilt, and picked me as a secondary winner. It felt sooo good to know that my quilt was worthy of the honor! I brought it out to California with me since I didn't have time to get pics (in the dreary Idaho weather) before I left. I've been taking care of my mom (who had surgery on Monday) and my Grandpa this week, and I'm just now getting to post these pics. It's not much prettier here and the pictures are a bit dark, but the weather is warmer, and it means a lot more to me to be able to take these pictures in my Grandpa's backyard. This pattern is called Scout by <a href="http://cluckclucksew.com/">Allison of Cluck Cluck Sew</a>. The fabrics are a mix of Cloud 9, Kate Spain, Alexander Henry, Lizzie House, and more.<br />

We picked out the majority of the fabrics from my stash and supplemented with a couple FQ's from my local quilt shop. We used <a href="http://cluckclucksew.bigcartel.com/product/pdf-pattern-skipping-squares">Allison's Skipping Squares pattern</a>. Such a cute pattern!</div>

We got the entire quilt (twin size) cut, pieced, and basted before my
in-laws went back to Alaska. The following week I quilted it in various sized loops, but then
it sat. And sat. And sat.</div>

Until I finally got up the energy to bind the dang thing. I bound it in
my favorite Michael Miller stripe. Such a great binding. It's now on his
bed and no longer being passed from place to place in the living room.</div>

The fabrics are a little of everything. Aneela Hoey, Riley Blake, Sarah Jane, Denyse Schmidt, and more. The backing is the most awesome fabric ever. It's called Jellybean from Thomas Knauer for Andover fabrics. </div>

I've recently joined the following swaps on Flickr: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/modernscrappybitsswap/">Modern Scrappy Bits</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1197421@N20/">Pillow Talk Swap-Holiday Edition</a>,<a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/dollquiltswap/"> Doll Quilt Swap</a>, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/2078052@N20/">Sew Sew Modern</a>.<br />
<br />
This past week I've been working on my Pillow Talk Swap item and this is what I came up with. <br />

I'm not sure how I feel about it. Maybe its just something about the colors. I'm not a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas. I LOVE to incorporate ALL colors into the holiday, not just the regular ones. I'm not an embroiderer by any means. In fact, I've only done it once, maybe twice. So the words are a little wonky. The words are from The Polar Express, when Tom Hanks is singing to the kids on the train. I watched the clip on YouTube and even though I've seen the movie before, I TOTALLY didn't remember it.<br />
<br />
Today I sat down to put together a pouch for the Modern Scrappy Bits swap. I LOVE this swap. It's quick, it's easy, and you get awesome scraps from it. It lets me bring in a lot of different fabrics (even if they are just little scraps) that I wouldn't be able to get my hands on normally.<br />

Wow! It's been a while! A few weeks back I got in touch with a <a href="http://alexmichelephotography.com/">well known photographer</a> from Florida who will be showcasing some of my quilts to sell to other photographers or potential clients of hers. So I've been busting my booty for the past week and a half to get 4-8 quilts done by the end of this week. If you <a href="http://instagram.com/findingsweetland#">follow me (findingsweetland)</a> on Instagram, you have already seen these. But until I get them done, here are just a few of those IG photos.</div>

I've also been putting off getting the binding on this quilt (also posted to instagram) until I get these other ones done, since technically, they have a deadline. :) It will also have its very own post when I've completed it! </div>

Today I headed over to vote for my favorite quilts in all the categories of <a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/bloggers-quilt-festival/">The Bloggers Quilt Festival</a>, hosted by <a href="http://www.amyscreativeside.com/">Amy of Amy's Creative Side</a>. She's also having a little raffle to win her Baby Lock sewing machine. What can't I do with another machine?! I'll tell you one thing, I wouldn't have to pull half completed quilts out from under the needle if I have a small project I need to get done, and I certainly wouldn't panic if I have more trouble with my current machine. The one that almost made me commit quilting suicide last year. What would YOU do with her Baby Lock machine?</div>

My "Left Overs" quilt was started after I fell in love with this quilt I made last year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcJMJtHKbQq5AcbFcADq_7d8ws19zMqc7kTe-Wex3Ug0Rrmlvueuyq19N_zd4K2FwVOaPBxAwBNLnnYS8vY52PuEyfzOJiK9-6WlyoFM1ge453wSfWK4_khMnm4y_efZVmmBzWn3aSmyA/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcJMJtHKbQq5AcbFcADq_7d8ws19zMqc7kTe-Wex3Ug0Rrmlvueuyq19N_zd4K2FwVOaPBxAwBNLnnYS8vY52PuEyfzOJiK9-6WlyoFM1ge453wSfWK4_khMnm4y_efZVmmBzWn3aSmyA/s400/2.jpg" width="266" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a hard time giving it away and so I started making extra blocks to make one for myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZzrcIl-D6E8d67LqoIxrj-Q-iXTx9fnVQacHlrX0lzT12hZIzUjviOWO2iViv0xLQcpnmEzx8FpMocmQYDnR3apifCd15b8mS82wuEXETok9opK2FEFEMDRnBstwBTwCRolHlhdVtY3Q/s1600/_MG_5600.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZzrcIl-D6E8d67LqoIxrj-Q-iXTx9fnVQacHlrX0lzT12hZIzUjviOWO2iViv0xLQcpnmEzx8FpMocmQYDnR3apifCd15b8mS82wuEXETok9opK2FEFEMDRnBstwBTwCRolHlhdVtY3Q/s400/_MG_5600.JPG" width="282" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally got the top completely put together right before we moved. And it sat that way until last week. I knew this quilt needed to be turned into something special and the raw edge flower was just the thing to make it more than it was. So last Friday I made it happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The border fabrics are all leftover 2.5" strips from some of my more memorable quilts that I LOVE! And the flowers were made from fat quarters from my stash. I just drew out a flower shape that I liked on some card stock and cut out 10 flowers (bottom layer). Then I cut my template down a bit and cut out 10 more (top layer). I ironed the petals and the base layer of the flower to the quilt top, then put together my quilt sandwich. Once I had the whole thing quilted, I went back and attached the top layers of the flower, and the stitching to adhere those layers became the quilting in the flower squares. The backing is some of my favorite vintage sheet from my stash (same as the border fabric from the quilt at the top)...it's amazingly soft!!</div>
