What a great night/day of stitching. I finished the top of my nephews quilt. The pattern is called Fair and Square from Crazy Mom Quilts. Sharon at Lilabelle Lane whipped up another quick quilt top from this blog last night too. It was a very easy pattern to follow.......will definitely use it again. Now I need to think about how to quilt it.
As it turns out I can show you my block for the nine patch swap, I'm just a little early. In 6 months time, 72 little nine patch blocks in a variety of reproduction fabrics will come back to me.
I also pulled out a UFO to finish for Chookyblue's quilt drive Caring With Quilts. It just needs to be quilted.
Unusually, I did not do a single stitch by hand yesterday, but I had a rather nice time with my machine. It really does speed the process up, but I guess you all know that already!
Hope you had a fun and productive night, enjoy the weekend.

A very productive evening for you Susan. Lachlan's quilt looks masculine and classy. Great choice of fabric and design. A lovely gesture to donate your quilt.

A great day sewing Susan. I love your nephews quilt, a great pattern for a boy! You have lovely fabrics in your nine patch...have to get mine done too!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful looking quilt tops and the nine patch is so pretty. Love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteLove the repro 9 patch, that could be very addictive! Hmm you have reminded me that I do have an unwanted quilt top in my cupboard, that I can send to Chooky Blue. Love the grey quilt. Right better go and start pinning!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great night and everything looks wonderful. Your nephew's quilt is amazing and I love the UFO quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow the grey quilt looks terrific as does the 9 patch, and the lovely circle quilt - lovely
ReplyDeleteVery nice Susan and must be nice to get to the machine again :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous boy's quilt Susan. I love the fabrics. Your nine patch is very pretty and the quilt for Chooky is fantastic - great block design.
ReplyDeleteGreat manly looking quilt for your nephew. I bet he's going to be thrilled to bits with it. Now... I'm puzzled. You send off 1 nine patch block and get 72 back.... sounds like a deal to me. Where do I sign up :o)) The quilt you are finishing for Caring With Quilts is gorgeous. Someone is going to be very happy to receive it.
ReplyDeleteYour nephews quilt is great, so simple in design, but looks stunning. Love the 9 patch and your UFO quilt for Chookyblue's appeal too....
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy, the quilts look wonderful. I'm sure your nephew will love it.
