Purple 30's Quilt .... and Finished (or not) Friday!!

 Whoop Whoop - I'm celebrating..... 

A whole Finish!!! a Whole Bound and everything....

and another Hike in the woods

Can you tell I have REALLY needed some outside time?

or maybe just some outside time that is not weeding, watering and chasing cows haha!

the wind caught us - and gave my quilt holder away!!

So this block is called the Bee Blessed block?  I found that pattern years ago here:

http://sewmeblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/bee-blessed-november-2014.html  and I rREALLY liked it!!! I used it for a lot of 30's Stashbusting - and then I saw one in Red White and Blue and decided it was a pretty versatile block!

This will be in my Quiltygirl Etsy Store at some point - I am still learning how to manage my time .😍😁😂

**** Now it is your turn!!! Link up your finishes ( or not) and lets all be inspired!!!************

The Quilt that Needs A Name and!!! Finished ( or not) Friday

This quilt is NOW a Finished!!!  Quilt,  and! I love the contrast of the colors! But - I have been calling it the Teal quilt - and it sounds lonely that way. It needs a Name... Suggestions??

Oh ya! And you know I took it hiking with us! It had to be introduced to the whole world.

But don't worry - after its photo shoot it went straight back into the Car - I kept it super clean, as it will go on Etsy soon.   

I just love all those fun fabrics in there - they are mod and crazy, and swirly and... Teal!! with Hot pink and purple - A perfect combination right??

All right - if you have a name!! Shoot it off to me - give it an identity!

Now!!

Time for Finished ( or not) Friday!!

Link up and show us what you got!!

You know what - I am starting in the third year of hosting this... My first time taking over from Myra was 8/23/2019  - WOW!!

Alright - so !! Why!!??!! aren't all my UFO's done????

Orange you Glad!!! and a block tutorial

Today is my day on the Awesome ORANGE YOU GLAD  Bog hop!!

I saw this one and said "Self!! Go outside your color range and join in!"  and then I got to planning... and looking at my fabric and I said "Self!! you sure have a lot of orange-ish fabric.... why haven't you dug in?"     

So this !! totally  got me going!!

Let's just jump in with the Final Product - and then, we will go to the Block Tutorial

Are you ready? Sure?  Alright?

I am not going to tell you how old these fabrics are - but I am pretty sure they are at least 12 years old. I must have loved them and had a plan - and then - put them in a hiding place! I am so glad I found them - there is Orange, shades or orange and pink in them - I loved them even more this time!

Because I am a machine quilter ( and was a machine quilter first!! haha) You just have to see the texture this panto creates.... I love it!! and I think... its pretty modern.    

I decided that this quilt needs to live in my house - and I love Flannel Backings and I had the cutest puppy dog print - so ! This is the back!!

Now for the individual Block!!!

That's just a fun one right? I can see it in a lot of colors - and way more scrappy that this.... 

The block is 12 1/2 inches - so my 30 blocks made a 60 x 72 ish Size quilt. 

Just so you know - when you open your colored pencil pack and you have the 72 pencil pack - you will be surprised at the lack of Shade Difference from the Oranges they have in there..... I think kindergarteners everywhere are going to be sad when they realize this... I had to have a piece of chocolate to stop my sadness!

Ta da!! Now you can make your Own Orange Block!!

As I worked through this Quilt I kept thinging - you have made orange quilts before.... Haven't you? and then I searched my photos... you know photos - always tell the truth right????

and look I did!!

and I did!!!

and the last one!!

Apparently I like Orange more than I thought I did!!

I Bound and I bordered!!!

 I think I am sick - very very sick - I have the Binding flu.... yep - that must be what it is..

And the sad thing.... I am not even really procrastinating it that much. WHAT happened to me? 

I bound this one:

It is from a pattern called Merry Go Round - and I actually even listed it in my Etsy store! I am not usually that organized!!

Here is a close up of the quilting - because - I love it!

And then... I bound Diamondback!!  I really like the way the Black binding makes that black pop out !!

And get this - I even got it listed in my Quiltygirl Etsy Store!  I am worried about myself - can I keep up with me????

This is the back! I found this camping print on my Man Shelf and thought it would be perfect!

and then..... my machine started getting goofy and I was worried! So! I took it down and got my other one out. Okay - I drug the other one up the stairs and then had to take an hour nap from all that hard work! and as I got back at it...

I bordered.... 

Maybe you remember? I bought the Log Cabin Block on Board from accuquilt and made a greek key quilt? ( Click here to see the first one) 

well - I liked it so much!!! I had to make another one.... so here it is!  ( above)  The other one was white with reds and blues, so I wanted to see what happened when you changed the solid to a tan - I still like it!  This is a Quilt of Valor once I get it quilted

And then I had leftover block from one of the ColorBlock Quilts.... don't ask which one, my brain is slowing down.... so I put them together and bordered it !

after all that - I deserve a cookie or a brownie or a nap right!?

Happy Blue and Yellow Star Quilt

 Alright - no takers for the blocks and they don't go with Joyful's color scheme... maybe that means I need to create something with them....

Blue and Yellow must be the color scheme around here tho! I got the top Pieced and quilted in January - and then of course, the binding languished around for a while... but now!

Oh Ya! I mean I had light blue thread in the machine... I couldn't pass up the opportunity!!! It is Bound:

And I figured out how to hang it from the deck without a boy holding it. This was a sad moment in my life for real - I miss my boys....

I know most of you are quilters - but - just in case you know someone who needs to add this quilt to their house...

I listed it in my Etsy Store. https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlyciaQuiltyGirl

It is 80 x 80 - so a good sized quilt - I think It would brighten up a room!

Changes: My husband is now going back to work a set number of days and they all rotate - so Puppy and I are on our own today. But he Texted me to see if I had the chores done and so... because I have been known to be a pain - my response was... Wait - it was my day to do chores?  Hee hee hee

Diamondback .... and!! Finished ( or Not) Friday!!

 My June One Monthly Goal was to finish my Diamondback Quilt ( Rectangle Wrangle from Quiltville pattern)

but... I did not make it in June.... so! it carried over!!

I now have it Quilted - and I love it!!

Isn't that kinda cool? I started this as the Monochromatic Challenge that Patchwork Times did in like 2011.... or at least that is all I will admit to.  I had 6 blocks done and then I just quit!!! So I pulled it back out - made more blocks - and ta da!!

I think it is 24 blocks total to make this and it is 40 x 50 ish in size

I am pretty sure I will bind it in black .

Just a little proof that I did work back in the day 

We were looking for photos for a slide show and I found this one - 

that is me with my oldest bambino on my back

My husband and dad building fences!!

Alright - Now it is your turn to link up your Friday Finishes. 

Please do provide a direct link to the specific post - a few of you did not last week.

Let me tell you why it is important to me.... because I read every post - but I can't get to them on Friday - so I read throughout the week.. and if you don't provide a direct link it goes to your main blog and I read them all so three hours later I wonder where my day went and! I get in trouble for not finishing my chores!!!

Right On Target - the Finish!!! and Finished ( or Not) Friday

 I finished this quilt top about March of last year and have really really really wanted to quilt it- but! I didn't know what I wanted for a back .. and it finally came to me! Flannel!

Now - it is quilted, and ( knock your socks off!) Bound!!  So I took it for a little photo session.

When it was just the top - all of my trusty Quilt holders had been sent home - and now - they all are at work .. so very sad!  Good for my Grocery budget, but My quilts miss them!!!

So!!! I took it on a walk - I mean - we actually have green grass now! its quite exciting - and the animals are getting fat - we love that!

and the sun is shining - it was a great day!!

I included this one - because - as you can see they are working on the natural gas well ... and those towers - well they scare the everything out of me when the lightening storms occur. But they look so weird!

So this is called Right On Target - but I was thinking I should rename it  psychedelic- since it is So.... Groovy... man... haha!! But since I had to google it, as the spelling i was coming up with wasn't even spell checkable - I think I will just call it Mine!  

See that flannel backing? I love it - I'm thinking of keeping all the windows open so it gets cold enough to snuggle!!

Alright!!! Now it is your turn to brag - Link up!!
