Baby Quilt Progress

The quilt top is done!

Featured Here for the Dust Off a Quilt Book Blog Hop

This block is the 

Sunny Lanes Quilt Block

In the end I did not follow the layout shown in the book.

I opted for a more graphic, modern version 

and used the extra units I made in the corners of the borders.

So I am calling this quilt 

Starry Lanes 

because the setting creates an elongated diagonal star.

I am going to leave this on my design wall while I think

about how to quilt it

as I catch up on some blocks

for swaps and BOMs.

It is very windy here in the northeast and it is cold on my back

in my sewing room because of the large west facing windows.

So I may sit in the warm chair 

and do some cross stitching today.

Happy Stitching and Sewing! 

A Sunny Baby Quilty Day

Time to make a baby quilt to welcome a new baby!

The baby mom has chosen a gray and yellow nursery for her baby boy,

so I pulled these sunny, happy fabrics from my stash.

Cutting instructions are ready.

I like this 18" by 24" Sewline Pressing Mat.

I can set it on my cutting table and get the wrinkles out of

my yardage before I cut.

My Panasonic Cordless Iron works great for this.

I have had this about a year.

It is lightweight and needs to be set back on the charger between pressing

... but I love the freedom of moving it to where I need it .. :-) 

I bought it HERE

I do not recall waiting for delivery.
Must have been in stock when I bought it.
It is the Walmart model,
 so it is probably also available there. 

I still use my regular iron and ironing board for pressing tops and such..

Time to sew!

Have a Happy, Quilty Day!
