Another Finish in the Mail

Here's another quilt for my dear SIL to gift her grand daughter.

This was a new pattern I got,It's called Helio's Helix and is from AOK Patterns. I thought it would be pretty with the large flower print. THese patterns use a method to select fabric. See like this....

But it cuts up the big print, so I don't think it looks as great as I had hoped.

It's still pretty, and will be cozy with the 80-20 batting I'm using.

There's the Bratgirl2 embroidery! I used my little Brother machine this time-Bernie is in the hospital, but I'm going to go get him tomorrow!

Here it is all finished, washed and ready to pack up!

I do like this quilt, just am disappointed in the use of the large print.

I'm sure Bratgirl2 will love it too, especially because it's from her Gramma!

Another Baby Quilt Finished

I still can't get over just how pretty these flowers are!

I just love the roses-they are opening a little more every day.

Anyways, Darling Daughter has a co worker who has a new baby girl, so a Baby Quilt is needed!

I used my favorite star block from over at cluck cluck sew, no point stars. And selected the pinks from my stash. And then added the green to coordinate with the cute bicycle print.

Ringo "helped" me cut the border strips. He keeps laying on my work when he thinks I need to be paying him more attention!

There, I added the little sashing strips with corner stones, and the the bicycle print border.

Pretty darn cute! Now I'm going to see how my magnets do on this larger quilt. Outside I go to spray baste.

So far so good, there's a little breeze, but the magnets hold the backing fabric nice and secure.

After a light spray of adhesive, the batting sticks great. I moved the magnets on top of the batting on the top edge to keep it in place a little better with the light breeze.
