Very nice looking quilt, Jewells! It turned out great. That backing material is really awesome.
That's a simultaneously fun and terrifying print on the back of the Linus quilt.. It's just so BRIGHT it's hard to imagine that winding up in someone's stash :D It does work out pretty great though, that's the best way to use those giant prints, I think, on quilt backs.
You're just rocking it on the quilting, aren't you :D That's awesome.
I love all the bright colors in the Granny Square Quilt. It's just so happy!
Charm Quilt: I had the hardest time find a binding that would look good next to the outside border on the front AND that crazy print on the back, which I just love, btw. Then I remembered that brown from Joann's. It's a Robert Kaufman tonal. It is perfect because it has two different shades of brown and totally works with both sides.
I wish I only worked part time. I would get so much more sewing done. I really want to make a quilt for myself now. Maybe I need to do something with some of these birthday blocks I have floating around, lol.
Thanks! Now if I could just get that sucker in the mail, baby could enjoy it, lol. Charm square quilt is in dryer as I type this... another August finish! Now my poor little senior Singer needs a little rest and cleaning and oiling. She was getting kind of grumpy while quilting the charm square one.
Thanks! I was on a roll so I figured, why not keep going? I ended up adding a bit more quilting in the open areas that were the farthest apart, but now the charm quilt is bound and washed and ready to turn in.
that's great - i had to keep the last comments brief. i was typing left handed while also holding a squirmy baby. I managed to get a bit more crafting done today, so i'm hoping to get a video done tomorrow and then hopefully have it edited and uploaded. I'm just trying to squeeze in a little crafting in each week so that it doens't get dropped by the wayside.
That is totally understandable. I need to get a baby gift made but I am not sure what to make. Don't really want to do a quilt for this coworker, but it's his second child so I'm not sure about things like bibs and/or burp cloths. I might just stencil a cute baby duck or something on a onesie.

Finished quilt reveals are the best. I love how the binding looks, which is PERFECT.
The label is super cute. I've never considered fusing it before stitching. Great idea!
Action shots outside ftw!
You did a really lovely job. What a treasure!
Big Lots Charm is looking good! I'm so glad the basting process was a bit smoother this time. My guess is that it will get easier every time.
Doesn't all this progress feel GOOD?!
