A Lovely Year Finishes April Goal

I hope to finish this top for my April Goal!

Linking up with the April Goal Setting Party @ Fiber of All Sorts

This quilt  was ... 

Started Here

This was originally begun as a mystery quilt.

Progress Here

There are large setting corners to be added to these corners 

as this will be a queen size quilt.

The orange circles in this photo are not part of the design.

They are post-it notes I stuck to some of the patches to make sure they went into the right places,

The design is a "twist" on a garden maze quilt pattern.

Looking forward to getting this one done as it will be a new summer bed quilt for me!

Quilty Auntie Quilt in Process

Just look at these fabulous pink/black/white Rail Fence Blocks!

It looks like Valentine's Day came early to my sewing room!

I did not make all these great blocks.

I only made one.

These blocks were made by the 

Quilty Aunties of the Quilt & Needle Forum

for one of our members baby-girl-to-be!

The baby mommy and daddy chose these colors for their baby girl's nursery.

I am the lucky quilty auntie who gets to piece this top.

Then I will send it off to our volunteer quilter for the finishing touches.

I love making these group baby quilts to welcome

the precious little ones to our world.

I am waiting for the last two block to arrive,

then I will get to piece the top!



Piecing this top will be my February AYOLF Goal!

A Lovely Finish For June

Helix Table Runner

My June project for A Lovely year of Finishes is done!

 

I am linking up with this month's finishing party at
AYOLF June @ Fiber of All Sorts

 

Earlier this month I posted this picture of the small 

 

Helix Table Mat

 

in my  Mid-Month Progress report.

 

 

For the runner I decided to do emphasize the helix design 

by stitching long continuous curves with my walking foot. 

I used a paper template and started with the centers.

 

The I moved outward and followed the first line of stitching to the sides, including the narrow black border strips.

I used a variegated cotton thread in shades of blue/yellow/green.

 

Close up of quilting.

I added two small ellipses inside the centers of the first lines.

 

 

 

I did a self binding by folding the backing over to the front and using a  decorative stitch to secure it to the top.

 

 

My son was very happy with his birthday gift!

 

I am very happy to have my June goal done!
