I am still pushing through with my Gravity Quilt and have been surprised at how easy it has been to make. (I may have just jinxed myself, but so far so good).
The finished quilt I am sharing today is 'All Linked Up'. The kit was purchased from Connecting Threads and was the first quilt kit I have ever used. It made the process very simple.The pattern and fabric were both by Crazy Mom Quilts.The fabric was from her Good Neighbours line. Working with a lot of white was also new for me as I tend to lean towards darker and stronger colours for backgrounds. All in all it was a great quilt to make, quick until it came time to actually quilt it. Procrastination was the key word here.
My fantastic husband helped me to baste it and then it sat for a while before quilting. My little old Bernina did prove to be up to the task of quilting this 84 x 95 inch quilt.
There were so few scraps at the end of this quilt as they went on the back and were used as the binding. I did keep the fabric that was supplied for the binding and used it to line my zippered pouches.
All Linked Up has now been gifted and it is time to get on with the other 22 WIPs. Linking up with Finish it up Friday.
Happy Stitching

Happy second week of 2018.
The visitors have all gone home and we are back at work. Life has settled once again. It has been rather warm here and some days sewing larger items is rather uncomfortable due to the heat.
I have started on my Gravity Quilt by Jaybird Quilts. I thought it would be a difficult make but the instructions are clear and the centre blocks have come together so quickly. I am going to enjoy finishing this one.
The Gravity Quilt needs to go on the back burner as my Patchwork group are starting on our raffle quilt this weekend. We are using shot cottons and they look so jewel like.
That has been my start to the year. I hope yours has gotten of to a good start.
Happy stitching
