Happy Friday Morning my awesome friends!!
What has got me happy today? The Temps are cooling into the 70's, we had a bit of rain, all the hay is gathered out of the fields and in the barn... Its looking good!!!!
I was able to sneak this one onto the long arm this week, and Surprise of all surprises.. I got it bound!! In the same week... and... because I try to tire Puppy Girl out before I quilt... we had quite a fun photo walk!!
I used a vintage looking cowboy print in blue - that is just so cute!! I need to make more quilts out of it!!! and a Stripe and a Yellow - it turned out bright and happy. ( but not exactly what I saw in my mind)
I had a fun scrappy back in my Backings pile that I pulled out - and I thought it just complimented this quilt. Added to the fun and happy whim about it.
Quilted it with an allover design that added texture and whimsy....
And ta da!!! A finish!!!
I am all excited to see what you have finished ( or not) this week!!
I have been doing a little listing in my Etsy shop .. kind of fun updating that!! and of course hoping someone else likes what you make haha!
You all know the drill!!!

Lovely quilt! The gingham pattern looks like a fun and fairly quick quilt. I think I'm going to have to make one, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice blue and yellow quilt. Everyone loves that combination. The back, what alot of piecing work in there. I thought I was looking at an image of a lama without it's head, of course.
ReplyDeleteBlue Buffalo Gingham is definitely a bright and happy quilt. Congrats on the finish.
ReplyDeleteYay you for finishing up a sunny quilt:)
ReplyDeleteI love blue and yellow - great fabric choices
ReplyDeleteI agree that this quilt turned our bright and happy. Sometimes the easiest pattern, interesting fabrics and a creative mind will all work together to make a wonderful quilt, and cooler temperatures too.Well done.

What a beautiful finish! I love those colors together. Have fun with the pup!
ReplyDeleteNice finish! I've not had much sewing time lately.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue and yellow together, so classic. The backing is such a fun surprise! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI really read want to do a gingham plaid quilt! I just need to commit and make it happen. The blue and yellow is a great combo. And the stripes ! Inspired! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is lovely and fresh looking with those colours, Alycia but it is your back that I just think is so interesting. What a great way to use those scrappy pieces!
ReplyDeleteA fun and fresh quilt. Love the back also!
ReplyDeleteThe backing is super fun and unexpected. Congratulations on the full finish! Do you have ideas for using more of the cowboy print or are you already off working on something else?
ReplyDeleteI am loving the cooler weather and welcome the moisture as well. <3 Great job in getting the quilting and the binding done in the same week! Well done. :)
ReplyDeleteIt truly is a happy quilt! Beautiful both front and back. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteFall is on its way. It is so nice to hear that the hay is all put away in the barn. We are working on the 3rd cutting today. Your quilt is adorable. Such a sweet cowboy print as well. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYellow and blue look so good together and yet they are so different. Opposite attract, I guess. You did a great job with these prints. I love it. Bravo! ;^)
ReplyDeleteFor someone's blog that is titled finished or not, I'm very impressed with the number of finishes I see you churning out. Blue and yellow make for a great palette. So cheery.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Yellow and blue is one of my favorite color combos, even though I rarely use it in quilts. I'm not sure why that is. LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!! I saw several 'plaid' quilts like this at the Jax quilt show and I thought of you!
ReplyDeleteOkay, love the Gingham look but also love that improv scrappy backing! That makes it a two-fer quilt since you could display either side! This would also be a great design for a Ukrainian donation quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove the Gingham, so many options with this pattern and I really like this version. I did one in black and grey for my son .... another one may be in my future.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish! Calm and lovely on the front, and party on the back! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat backing is a hoot! How come I never find a fun back like that in my stash :)
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, that's a great, happy quilt! Congrats on your finishing it up, including the binding lol. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteJust love that this is, in essence, a two-sided quilt! Truly a very happy quilt!
