Batik Spools and!! Finished!! ( or not) Friday!!!

 I am finishing this one at the VERY LAST minute - but you know what!! it still counts!!!

As I was binding it ( yes - do not pass out - I bound) I was telling my son about the mini shop hop three of my friends and I did - and I was thinking it was maybe a year ago.

It was not. Because!! I started this quilt in October 2022. oops.... 

I don't think I meant to let it marinate that long?

As of Today - It is done!! and hanging on my Quilt ladder in the front room!

Ta Da!!!!

Sorry for the indoor photos  - By the time I had it finished ..it was time to do chores, and!! windy!! and Cloudy - so! it became an indoor moment!

I backed it with flannel - of course - SHARKS!! what fun right? I was sort of thinking this looked like a winter quilt with those batiks - but maybe it is an ocean quilt with the Sharks? 

The block is called a Spool Block - and maybe the pattern was at Mary Quilts!!? Its a jelly roll pattern and super easy to do....

And just because:

My Goofy girls  - posing in front of a few of my horses.

Batik Spools ( and a Patriotic one too)

 Back in Late August I went fabric shopping with a few friends. We all joked about how sometimes we buy fabric and then don't get to using it quickly.  I decided I Was going to prove myself wrong!

I came home and unrolled my Batik Jelly roll, and I cut the white batik up in strips and I made 2 blocks.... and then....  

Well - today it is October and I am back to progressing on it.... HOW????

does this happen!!!

I know that I had such fun making the blocks that I decided it would be a cool one to do for our QOV sew day ( Distraction #1)

I also had 4 more horse competitions before the end of the Series ( Distraction #2)

I had to go see one one my kids ( Distraction #3)

and then I had to go see another one ( Distraction #4)

Oh ya - and I have to work.... at least I LOVE my work!!! so I can't really call that a Distraction ( Can I?)

We had to refence a section of our property ( Distraction #5)

The garden overflowed so I canned for 4 days straight ( Distraction #6)

NO MORE DISTRACTIONS!

I have now stitched all the blocks and am working on arranging them!!!

progress!!!!

I think it looks very Wintery ! 

oh!! and I got some of  the Spool blocks sewn into a top from our QOV sew day!!

That is all folks!!!

Have a great week!
