Happy Needle and Thread Thursday! My latest quilt, appropriately named Churn Baby, Churn is all finished, and I am in LOVE with it! The colors in this collection are so rich and vibrant, and are perfect for the fun layout in the quilt. When I went to quilt it though, I was stumped on the design since there is so much going on. I feel like any allover quilting motif would have taken a back seat to the piecing and fabrics, so I just went with my good ole standby stipple. When I asked for thread input in my last post, the aqua won out by far, and I'm so glad. Sometimes I worry that I default to aqua too often, but my heart really wanted to quilt this with aqua thread. So, it was good to have plenty who agreed with me. I quilted with 50 wt. Aurifil # 5006, Light Turquoise, my favorite shade of aqua thread. You might also remember that I planned to use an entirely different main fabric for the back. Well, sometimes the very best plans get foiled, and when I went to my local shop to get the fabric, only 1.5 yards were left on the bolt. So, instead, I picked up this orange print from Art Gallery's Bound collection. I mixed this print into the front as well, so it's all good. I also threw in a stripe of Kona Pool for good measure. With such an explosion of color and print on the front, this solid Kona Navy binding creates a perfect frame to contain all of it. Several have asked if I am planning to write a pattern for this quilt, and after giving it lots of thought, I have decided that I am not. The trouble with a quilt like this is that it is difficult to write concise cutting instructions for so many different sized pieces. It can be done, but I just don't have the time right now. Instead, I have created a layout diagram with (finished) sizing for you! Each color corresponds to a different size, and the finished sizes are listed for you on one of each color block. The black lines show how I sewed the quilt together in sections, giving it a random look (with no partial seams!) This layout could really work for any block you like. As long as your finished blocks are 15", 9", and 6", you can just plug them into the spaces for an awesome, modern quilt. If you use this layout, be sure to send me a photo! Okie dokie! Let's get to the features from last week's party, shall we? Denise from For the Love of Geese shared this pretty Granny Square quilt. I love these colors! Michelle at From Bolt to Beauty linked up this jelly roll log cabin quilt. I love how making rectangular log cabin blocks give the quilt a fresh look! Look at this awesome Sawtooth Star QOV by Katie Mae Quilts- And finally, this awesome quilt is by Tiina from Kasityolainen- unelmissaan. Her blog is written in English as well, so definitely check it out! Wow! Just WOW! Y'all bring such amazing inspiration each and every week. I am just amazed. Without further ado, let's link up! 1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing! 2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others. 3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link. 4. Spread the comment love far and wide! 5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated! *If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop" when selecting your thumbnail photo. For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work! :)

This seemingly messy pile of fabric is actually the makings of a baby quilt! I took this picture when I had all the parts cut out and piled by my sewing machine, ready to sew. In the pile, are 12 of the 6.5" square crumb blocks in different colours for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge from last year. I have four sets of these blocks and decided to use each set in a different setting to make four baby quilts. The one I made previously was made up of star blocks. This time I am making churn dash blocks. I had just enough of the black and white check fabric to make 12 blocks. I actually had to piece two of them to make them big enough. After finishing my first block at home, I decided to chain piece the rest at the guild sewing day on Monday. Most people "practice" sewing blocks with no bobbin thread, but not me. I forgot to thread the machine with a spool of thread before "sewing" all of these strips together...Ugh! Back to the beginning again... By bedtime, I had all 12 blocks put together and up on my design wall in no particular order. I will play around with placement before adding a narrow sashing and cornerstones, as well as a border. There are lots of scrappy memories in these blocks. In June, we had a Carolina wren nest in our hanging baskets on the front porch and now, we had a pair of mourning doves sitting on their nest. My daughter has been crocheting this week. This is the beginnings of "Bernard the Elf". I find it hard to do outlining when I stitch in the car so I have started a new counted cross stitch picture--a winter sampler by Satsuma Street. It is not much to look at yet! The Aida cloth is Cadet blue--much darker than it appears in this picture. I will try to get a better picture next time. A few more outlining stitches were added to the lupins. There was not much time to sit and sew at home this week. Finn is telling my daughter that he would rather sit outside than watch her work from home inside! I will link up with Kathy and Frederique on the weekend.
