I would love for 2010 to be a year of quilts for me. To kick it off, I completed this quilt top in ONE DAY! Yep, you read that right folks. I sewed this up TODAY! I cut most of the fabric a couple days ago, but all of the sewing was done today in about 5 hours during a couple chunks of kid-free time. After coming home from our getaway at Chateau Elan this afternoon, Mr. Mudpie crashed for a nap, giving me about 4 hours of sewing time. Yeah baby! We then headed out for dinner, cocktails and a movie (I highly recommend "Did you hear about the Morgans?" btw) and met up with some friends for a couple beers and college football. All it took was another hour once we got home to cut and sew on the borders and voila! A quilt top is born!
This baby won't be quilted and binded until mid-February however. I am taking a class at Heirlooms & Comforts on machine quilting and want to use some tips I pick up there on this quilt. This is the first quilt that I've made that will actually be staying in our home. Since it's going in the master bedroom, I want the quilting to be nicely done. That's the plan anyways!

That turned out really pretty. I like it with the brown border better. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the fabric. Great job!
ReplyDeletei am jealous!!! i bought fabric for the entire house to sew....window curtains, the girls room, guest room, our room, our bathroom. and i have not finished it yet! i have completed the den curtains, living room curtains, our bedroom door (roman shade, very proud of it) and our bathroom shower & window curtains....and that has taken 5 years. you are motivating me to get my butt in gear and finished at least the girls room......before that move out!
ReplyDeletePamela - you need to get sewing girl! Especially if you have the fabric already!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt. It shows how crafty you are. Can you make me a quilt with a huge 7-11 logo in the middle.
