Colourful Times

I have been pushing along on my WIPs. I have started quilting my Bright Birch quilt using mostly a free motion meander. This us the first time I have free motion quilted on such a scale and if you stand back far enough and close one eye it doesn't look too bad. this quilt is so cheerful with lots of colours popping in the birch strips.

At least this quilt is heading towards a finish and hopefully will be useful to someone.



I have titled this post colourful times as bright quilt backs have also been on the agenda. Using fabrics from stash a orange backing for a blue and black charity top and a lime green backing for my mystery quilt top challenge have been prepared. the first Mystery quilt top has been completed as a quilt and shown to our group. a good push to get on with finishing mine. I am looking forward to getting on with those next.

 All the blocks for the Bernina Zen Chic Playing with  Triangles QAL have been completed. I need to cut the setting pieces and row ends and join the whole thing up.

The Gravity quilt top is also completed. I loved making this top. The pattern was so clear and easy to follow. the consensus is that it will need to go to the quilter. My little machine won't suffice for this big sucker. Looking at the photo I feel as though I have hung this from the side and not the top.

Lastly, I really need to finish up the two t-shirt quilts I started around Christmas and get them to their owners. A black and white striped binding for the blue quilt and a pretty floral for the pink.

Again, no full finishes but I am getting closer. All in all a busy time ahead. Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts.

Happy stitching.
