It is really dark here tonite, and some of our lights burned out last night. I am too lazy to drive to town to get new bulbs, so it's sort of weird lighting tonite....
But I took 12 of the Scrappy Trip blocks and made this!!! I even have a backing ready to go Thanks to Patty, from our Sew Day, she took a ton of fabric and made me 6 backings!!
And If you.

Oh!!! And I finished FINALLY the little blanket that I was working on. I guess the delays weren't all that bad - but I really wanted it done quickly.
I tried to quilt in some things, like his football number, and words. Just some fun things
And this is the back - I think I fell in love with this fleece. I see more of it coming into my house in the future.
I will be linking up with CrazyMomQuilts.blogspot.com and Confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com
Enjoy!! Hope to see you back on Sunday!!
Isn't it fun to exlore possibilities and have them work?? Your projects are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting on this special quilt. Neat idea to quilt words into it and it looks like you didn't quilt over his messages. He'll love this quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks like you're getting everything checked off your list. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! I can't wait to see how you quilt this one! Congrats on your 12 in 12! Will there be a 13 in 13 challenge? LOL
ReplyDeleteLove how you are making the trip around the world blocks go farther. I was thinking you might try using sashing so you don't have to match up all those seams, especially since you have lots of different seam allowance with those donated blocks.
ReplyDeleteI received my lovely fabrics last week. A very welcome gift as I lost the sight in one of my eyes last weekend and I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself. Thank you so much for the great fabrics.
