Sew Happy BOM

I finished this quilt and is super happy how it turned out.  I was hesitant about the navy border as I couldn't get the exact same shade of navy as was used elsewhere in the quilt, but oh boy, don't it just look lovely, bright and breezy?


 The quilting was done using various techniques.  The four blocks were done with feather embroidery designs from Embroidery Library as well as some stitch in the ditch.  Walking foot stitching was done on the sasching strips with freehand feathers on the wide navy borders.





The four outside corner stones were embroidered in the similar fashion with matching feather designs.

A closeup of the feather done around the outside as well as the braid I attached to the small red border.

I then stitched some red and green buttons on the small yellow cornerstones and another one in the center and I just love the appearance of it.




With the label at the back, this quilt is done.

Sew Happy BOM

I finished sasching the four blocks of this quilt and added the borders a few weeks ago.  Just to realize that one of the blocks was placed out of sequence.  So, I unpicked the center part, turned it around and stitched back in place.  Now just to quilt and bind it.

Sew Happy BOM

I had seriously fallen behind with this quilt between visiting the kids and being ill.  Block 3 and 4 is done and I am busy with the borders.  I am however having trouble getting a coordinating navy fabric for the outside border as I had only a fat quarter.  Never new there are so many shades of navy until you start looking for a particular one...

Sew Happy Bom - Block 2

The instructions for block two arrived last week.  So as soon as I was able to stitch the block, I got stitching and in no time the block was done.  Now to wait for the next one.

Sew Happy BOM

A member of our quilting group told us some time ago about this free block of the month hosted by Jaquelynne Stevens.  It is a small runner or wall hanging consisting of 4 blocks done over 4 months.  After selecting fabrics from my stash, I started cutting and finished the first block yesterday.
