A finish - Yeah

I was so happy that I was able to get another quilt off the to do list and on the done list.  On my sew day I quick finished up the last row of quilting I had to do at home since I have to FMQ on my sewing table where my machine is set in.  Then I put the binding on at sew day and ended up having enough of the black lines from the Summerville line.  I was worried because at first I could not find the fabric and I had used some of it in another quilt and my LQS no longer had that one color left.  But I kept looking in the piles of fabric and you never know what you will find!

I started this quilt back in August.  I had bought a layer cake and was going to do a simple patchwork quilt with 2.5 in squares and then I had seen over at Camille Roskelley site where she sashed the blocks in white. So that is exactly how I did mine.  I also wanted to try out the dogwood quilting design from Oh Fransson as well.  I loved doing this design and I loved the outcome on the quilt.








Here is a picture of the back I love the effect of this quilting.  I even had messed the line up on a few but even I could not see them with a quick glance and overall still looks good to me!  Love it!  I just need to throw it in the wash next.

This quilt was immediately taken over by my youngest and it was tested by using it for a nap.  It worked!  My poor husband wants to know why DS#2 gets every quilt I make?!


So happy to be done with Quilt #2 on my list of Quilt Goals for the Finish Along!

Linking up at Crazy Mom Quilts Finish Friday and WhoopWhoop Friday.

Here is to another productive week of sewing!

This was a finish from the Q1 Goals and am linking up to She Can Quilt.

  1. Looks fantastic! Great finish. I love Summersville with your white sashing. I pulled scraps to put together a little throw so I can try the dogwood quilting--you and several others have inspired me this month.

  2. Gorgeous quilt! I love the white washing, good choice :) I have been wanting to try that fmq pattern as well... I suppose I'll have to make a quilt just so I can try it ;)

  8. Serious bravery on the quilting - with a stunning effect! I am still, to this date, a chicken and have not tried that quilting, though a practice sketch of it is pinned on my inspiration board...maybe one of these days!!!!

  9. I love this quilt! I have some Summersville and it looks great in this design. My husband is still waiting for his quilt - it's a WIP hanging on the wall tormenting him everytime he walks passed! I love this quilting design too, I haven't done any FMQ but I think this is something I could manage...
