King Deco!!!! and FInished ( Or not) Friday!!

Back in April I started working on this KING sized Quilt!!!  I had a goal of getting it done by September, but I was afraid to voice it - what happened if I failed???  ( I mean, we know the track record of meeting deadlines)  


I DID IT!!!







And I quilted HORSE SHOES!!! I love it!!

So this Quilt is for a friend - it will be being gifted as this is posting. So I hope she Likes it. BUT!!

I was at my Therapists office (Sew Downtown - the Quilt shop) and Was choosing my backing fabrics. My Therapist ( Store owner) and I got to talking about quilt sizes.

We got to talking about friends and decided the better the friend the larger the Quilt....  So She must be a good friend. I don't know if I'd go that far -- haha!! Just kidding!!

So The better the friend the larger the Quilt is that you make for them?  


I will tell you there is a boo boo in it, but apparently I made the boo boo enough times - it became a design element - cuz they are all that way - Oh boy!!  This was a fun quilt - it was on point tho in its construction, and that was eye boggling to me at times...

And it's big enough - I think it should count for TWO finishes!! Right??

Here is a link to the pattern I used - Art Deco Quilt

The other projects I started

 May take me 42 million years!!!

I started a King Size Deco Quilt... KING!! people!!! KING!!!!

I am the queen of 60 x 80 inch quilts - How did I decide to make a KING??

Anyways - I got the first 54 blocks done for it:



54 - 8 1/2 inch square blocks... All squared.... Trimmings in the Dog bed bag:

THIS!!! is why I wanted a new rotary blade!!!
That is A LOT of trimming..

But wait!!
Jessica Vaughn of JMV Quilts came to our guild to give us a trunk show. She also Taught a Scrap Mastery workshop the day of the meeting and I went!!

She said to bring scraps and so I did - who knew most of mine would be Patriotic?? 😆😆


She worked with us on a great way to trim your scraps into usable sizes and then taught us a few blocks - She taught us the one on the right and the one on the bottom. Connie Brought me the one on the left as an idea for one of our QOV Sew days......


But Wait!!!
Our Guild is making I Spy Quilts for the Kids - and she asked us all to make some blocks - so I found my trusty kid box and dug in - I made 12 Blocks for our Guild Chair Person



but wait!!!
At our guild we also started a Round Robin Block Exchange - so once I got my *box* from the person in my exchange group - I dug in right away to make her blocks

Super cool 9 patches with batiks - she wanted bright colors - I hope I did the job!!They will be passed on at the next meeting and I will get another persons box ;_0

Now you know all the million projects I started... and of course - there will be more!! thats the way my brain functions  - on overload Haha!!


Also - I had a competition on the weekend - and I got a 2 Fer: ( its a short 5 second video)
