This! has been a week!!! We got to go on a vacation that was centered around my Nieces wedding and it! was! a ! blast!!! But I am so tired......
I have many photos to blog about and show you our adventures, But today I am going to brag that I actually did sneak in a finish !!
Remember when Yellow was our RSC color? I had yellows left over from my original project so I made crumb blocks. Set those crumb blocks with Pink and a quilt top was born...
I also had some Backing fabric left over from last weeks finish - so it seemed like all the layers were colliding to tell me... JUST DO IT!
So I did!
Sometimes a Quilter just needs to play with different motifs . This quilt seemed to be a perfect play piece....
I have a very fun yet detailed Butterfly....
I also used that same Blue floral back on the last quilt.
I bound it in pink strips and Ta da!!! A finish!!
You'll have to come back to see our vacation photos. A funny - you know we are doing construction? Welllllll when we were gone I got a text - Hit your Propane line. So I assumed that meant the dug down deep enough to find it... I did NOT go to the dark side of that statement.
I had gone ahead and called the propane company to re work the line - NOT knowing that HIT - meant CUT!!! We had NO propane - which means no hot water!!!! oops - Our first day back was Yesterday and at 6 am I was up helping dig a trench to start a new propane line, The guys worked until 2 pm - and by 3 pm - we had hot water..... Fun right?>?>
Anyways! it is now your turn - Link up your awesome finishes and let us oogle over them!

Digging that trench was NOT fun! Been there, done that. Now you have hot water again which you needed after digging that trench! Have a relaxing weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove the pinks and yellows together! The backing is just perfect, and what a fun finish with that pretty quilting.

Welcome home! It is always something when you have a renovation project going on!!! Glad you could fix it, at least!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL NEW QUILT!!!!
Not the most fun welcome home present. Glad you were able to get it fixed quickly. Love that butterfly quilting, very pretty. It's a very fun finish. Have a great holiday weekend resting up.
ReplyDeleteI love your crumb blocks with pink! The special quilting in the pink blocks is beautiful, and the backing is perfect for the quilt, too. Looking forward to hearing more about your trip, and hope the rest of the construction goes off without any more problems!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful quilting! Wow! Fancy quilting brings a simple quilt design UP to a whole new level. And pink paired with yellow really works well.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use up more scraps-every one counts! Sorry about the propane hit:(
ReplyDeleteI love that you quilted the yellow crumb quilt with yellow thread and used a striped print for the binding. It's fantastic. And oh golly, I'm sorry about the propane line, but glad you have hot water again!!!
