GumDrop Mountain Finish - and!!! Finished ( or not) Friday

Happy Friday!!!!

Do you remember when I participated in the Dust off A book blog hop? I made this top - and it was perfect timing - as I was making it for a couple getting married.... and guess what?

I FINISHED it- and guess what else?

They aren't married yet!!! I BEAT THE Wedding... go me!!

So here is my Finish for the Week:

We got out to take a photo before the sun went down - and I am super glad we did - a few hours later we had rain!! GO rain!!! We will take it, but not when I need a photo!!!

I quilted hearts and swirls all over the quilt and used a Blue backing. Bound it in a blue too . Now!! To put it in a safe place and not forget where that is - so We can gift it come wedding day!!!

Whoot Whoot!!

Dust Off a Book Blog Hop!!! and Weekend Quilting!!!

Today is MY Day!!! On the *Dust Off a Book* Blog hop!!

I liked this idea especially since I have books, and I have Quilts to make, and I thought what a better way to make myself look at my books, and then I went down the rabbit hole, and looked at WAY to many and now I have a big list of what I want to make...

But it's all good!!! I have fabric!!!

This is the Book I chose! 1 - it has some awesome patterns in it, and 2 . It promises you can make a top in a weekend.

Truthfully - It took me more than one weekend- but that is not the books fault!! She has the steps laid out by time. So you cut. Then Hour 1 is step one, and so on . Each quilt has the idea of how many hours it should take you. That is an Awesome Concept.

However - she does not have my dogs continually interrupting her plans.😅😆😅😆

Here is the Quilt I decided to make!!

I just loved all the bright colors. But then!!! i thought!! ( watch out world that is how earthquakes happen!!)

I have a LOT of weddings coming up this year - I wonder.... could I make this one for one of my wedding couples???

I got to sleuthing out their favorite colors..... and planning the time line - I think it would all work out.....

Of course - the day I finished it , that exact moment when I wanted to take photos - the wind came up!!!

So I went to the other side of the house - and guess what? The wind was there too!!!

So we took a photo inside as well - but I love this one!!!

I used Navy, Royal, Teal, Purple , two greens - it was so fun to play with the colors.

We know this couple well enough to know Black is not their vibe - so I used White as the background, and in real person - it makes those colors pop!!!

This was a fun challenge - with a deadline - so I had to power thru!! ( read NOT start 16 more projects in the same time frame) and I enjoyed it!

Again the Book is Weekend Quilts - Here is the Amazon Link if you want to see it for yourself.

There is a lot more quilts in the book - and of course - Iwant to make a few more of them!!!
