Full steam ahead

Busy, busy, am almost finished putting together Elle's quilt.. It was a little more difficult than the 1st quilt, but is turning out pretty nice, I've already set my sights on the next quilt, which will be for me. Here's a pic of it, The pattern is called a french braid.

I'll probably post Elle's quilt top at some point today, 

Have a good one! 

My very first Quilt top al sewn together :)

This is my very 1st quilt top all sewn together, It will be for my youngest daughter,Laura. I am so pleased with how it turned out, but the best thing about it, is my daughter loves it too! next pay day will order the fabric for the back and the batting. 

I am going to try and quilt this myself using chalk and stencils hand stitching it. I hope to have enough dollars to buy pounce and stencils as well as a lap hoop. 

In the meantime I will be starting to put together my daughter Elle's quilt top.

 I'll post a picture when I finish hers. 

Sew long! ;) 

Moving forward....

I've been playing with the fabric sequence for my girls quilts. For Laura's I had her lay it out on the floor and do the order the way she'd like it. I think she did a great job!

Elle's quilt. 

The sashing will alternate using these 2 fabrics'

Laura's quilt. 

The sashing will be in a black pattern and 

white speckled pattern (looks like splattered paint. perfect!)

I need to wait until payday to buy some cotton thread. I plan on sewing in one hour sessions. I'm going to totally stop sitting at the machine if it starts to hamper the healing process of my foot. I want this healed once and for all so I can sew to my heart's content!
