Whoop Whoop - its that day again!!!! Strut your Stuff!!!
Brag away!!! show us those Beautiful Finishes!!!
Today - I am going to DOUBLE BRAG!!!
For My First Finish!!!
it's COWBOY GINGHAM!!!
One of the fields that we hay was ready - and so we had hay on the trailer
I thought that would be a really cool spot to take a photo.
I might have been wrong,
there wasn't a flat spot to see the whole quilt!
and!! while I was standing there...
I was informed that I should UNLOAD the hay!
What?????
And here is the back
It is Bucking Broncos!!!
Too MUCH fun!
Cowboy Gingham measures 48 x 48 inches
Started in February and finished IN THE SAME YEAR
Gratuitous Knuckle Head shot
"We are Innocent!!! LET us OUT!!"
AND NOW!!! On to the Second Finish !
This is Forty Six
a String pieced appliqued Tulip quilt
Pieced by Julie ( Quilt Diva Julie)
and quilted ( and bound) by Quiltygirl !!!!
My Learning on this one - it is gorgeous - but!!!
She String pieced the Tulips - and the subtle differences in color - just made those Tulips STUNNING!!!!
Even MORE stunning that if it would have been one color Tulips....
Antelope!!!! I know its a bad photo - but I had my 25mm lens on to take Quilt photos!!!! I needed my longer lens!

Your clothes pins are too cute!! As is your quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love how Julie used teal for the background on her purple tulips!!! Very bold! And of course I love a good gingham quilt! I can relate--trying to find a flat spot for quilt photos!?!
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes today!! I am seeing more and more of the Buffalo Check style quilts around, I made a pillow, but now I am thinking I need to do a baby quilt in this style just to have fun with it. The Tulips are stunning!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Alycia! Oh boy . . . I can see by just scrolling to the comment link that there is a squirrel project headed my way. By looking at a portion of the very first picture I can see that I LOVE this finish. Buffalo check/gingham . . . OMG. So pretty. Now, I have to read and see what the horses are up to! HAHA - while you were standing there. heehee Isn't that what you say to a youngster?! Unload while you're just standing there! Let us OUT, or do you have an apple for me?? Or perhaps a sugar cube?!! Those faces - I just want to come pet them and talk quietly and listen to what they have to say. All six ears are listening to you!! Great job on the quilting, too. Now that I've written an epistle . . . thank you for the linky party. I'm thrilled to finally have something to share. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI think your quilting on Forty-Six absolutely turns the quilt into something VERY special. I hope whoever receives it through the Mercyful program feels the same way. And your photo of the knuckleheads (horses) is great!
ReplyDeleteI watch freesian horses on youtube... love love horses and your photo!
ReplyDeleteOh that tulip is so stunning while your gingham is just plain fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of those finishes. :) Unload the hay??? What? I have no time for this! lol. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat post this morning Alycia. Your photos are so cool. The tulip quilt is amazing and Mercy Hospital will be so grateful! Julie certainly has an incredible eye for color, right?
ReplyDeleteTWO finishes?!? Well done!
ReplyDeleteOh getting to see the antelope is such a special treat! And I agree the tulips are more lovely because of the strip piecing. Hooray for two finishes this week, that's excellent. :)
ReplyDeleteTwo finishes. In one week! Don't set the bar too high for the rest of us please :)
ReplyDeleteThose tulips look so good, the antelope thought they would just stroll over for a bite. If the knuckleheads don't get there first.
ReplyDeleteLovin' the inspiration.
Loved all the photos and the great quilting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work--love the quilting on the tulip quilt. I could see the antelope! But I really enjoyed the horses!
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful quilts and also beautifully quilted, I love the first photo with the hay bales, takes me back to hay making as a youngster. Love the horses!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, and a great idea to combine strings and applique! Love the horses.
ReplyDeleteFabulous finishes, Alycia!!
