Happy Happy Friday you all!!!!
Mine went fast - My husband left to Arizona to go help his parents come back for the summer, so that left me single ranching it! I got to make all the decisions... and I have decided that I need a Fabric Barn and a Guest barn and .... oh wait - I'm sure that will be vetoed haha
He came back and we got to spend a little time with my in-laws . They always seem to have such a great time in Arizona over the winter.
On to Quilting:
My Friend Julie made this top for Quilts of Valor. She gave me the top - I gave her some quilted Quilts for Hospice that she will bind - I liked that trade haha!! Kept me out of the Binding world for a bit!!
Isn't that a cool one!! I love the color combo - and yes I know- Red white and Blue - but the mix of blues is just so soothing... I love it!!!
It is ready to go on to my QOV group for binding ;-) ( See - avoided it again ha!!)
I am also working on a T shirt Quilt - so hopefully you will see that soon as a COMPLETE finish - and yes - I do have to bind that one.... send me good vibes!!
NOW!! it is your turn!! What wonderful things did you finish ( or not) this week?

This is a very pretty quilt, the backing fabric is perfect! Binding is not my favorite part of quilting either. Happy stitching! Good luck with the fabric barn and the guest barn.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful quilt and your quilting just sets if off! I like your fabric barn idea. ;)
ReplyDeleteI forget if you told me where in AZ your inlaws go. I think the fun there begins with the weather being nicer so one can do more outside.
ReplyDeleteCool quilt and quilting, Alycia!!! Good job dodging the binding pool!?!
ReplyDeleteI love all those blues together, too! And that swirly fireworks backing fabric is fabulous. You two are a great team! Happy Friday, Alycia!
ReplyDeleteVery fun quilt and the quilting looks great. Happy stitching this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a starry finish! I too like the backing all those blues are beautiful. Sending positive vibes for the binding that is ahead of you!
ReplyDeleteOh, YES - you DO need a quilting barn!!! Absolutely. Without a doubt! LOVE that idea!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and I do think a combo barn would be perfect....guest and fabric! Hope the single ranching went well.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great starry QOV. Beautiful. I think a guest barn is an awesome idea. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh yes, start that project now! - A fabric barn and quilt barn. Hee! Hee! I keep hinting around for the same thing but I get a veto too. The Quilt of Valor is a beauty! Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt--good job on your part of the project!
ReplyDeleteGreat combo of blocks on this one. Love how she laid it out too. The framed stars is a different one for me. I like it. The blue print on the back is awesome! Wow. Great job on the quilting too. Well played, girls! ;^)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! I need to get back to my t-shirt quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Arizona is wonderful in the winter. We've spent time there twice now and are already looking forward to next year.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are making great deals; beautiful quilting and hooray for binding elves. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your plans for your property while your husband was away collecting his parents. Bet that is a universal fantasy. I know as we contemplate moving to a substantially smaller space in a few years I ponder the difference between going there as a singe person vs married one from a space constraint perspective. Love that fireworks fabric for the backing.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo for red white and blue! Good luck with the binding! I recommend ice tea to keep hydrated, and chocolate for energy.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea, I wished I had a fabric barn. If I had one, it would be quite empty!! Right now my fabric fits in one small closet. Every time I see quilts for QOV, I feel warm inside and happy to know that someone is caring enough to spend time to make them. Strange enough, I love binding because it's the last step toward finishing.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt, and the quilting is gorgeous too! Have fun with the binding ;)) Thank you for sharing and linking up!
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, another great quilt for charity. All while single handedly managing the farm! You are amazing! Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks! Take care.
