My Spring Frolic

 

 

Started Here

 

 When these beautiful fabrics arrived from Happily Ever After Quilts

Then Hannah Met Posh

 

 

<3 and they became stitched together with love <3

 

during the

 

Mystery Quilt Weekend @ The Quilt & Needle

 

 

If you are still sewing this as a Mystery Quilt ...

 

Stop!

 

Warning: Spoiler pictures below!

 

I have the center of my top together!

This is the center of my soon to be queen size bed quilt.

 

The actual sewing of this top is really very easy.

 

The layout is a bit tricky, but the pattern lays it all out is an easy to follow format.

 

Time to add the borders!



 Pattern Availible Here @ The Quilt & Needle

 

Since this will become a big beautiful new bed quilt for me
I have been very good about only sewing it for 30 minutes a day ...

... well maybe a few days I ran over my 30 minutes just a little ...

... so I can keep up with other quilty goals.

Linking up with the

30/30 Sewing Challenge Week 4

... just keep sewing ...

A Quilty Kitty Is Watching

Katniss is watching.
 

Katniss has been very busy keeping watch on the birds 

outside my sewing corner window.

I have been busy sewing. 

I am working on my flag for this blog hop from Sew We Quilt

Full Schedule Here

Thearica @ Pig Tales and Quilts
is cheering this fun hop.

I am looking forward to seeing all the pretty flags waving!

Katniss says, "No peeking!"

So I will give you a peek at my progress on my 

Spring Frolic Quilt

 

 

  Butterfly is also watching.   Today my quilty kitties and I saw our first robin of spring outside our window!

My Quilty Muse Frolics

My Quilt Muse has spoken.

My Hannah fabrics made themselves at home in my quilty corner and found some pretty Posh friends.

Here are my final choice of fabrics that I am sewing into my 

Spring Frolic Quilt!

Pattern Available HERE

It is still a mystery pattern right now, but I have looked at the final installment this morning.

I like mystery quilts ... sometimes.

I also like planned quilts and to listen to my own quilty muse.

 My quilty muse said "look before you sew this time." 

So I listened and I am very happy I did.

I would have loved the quilt if I had sewed it just as it was kitted as a mystery.

But I am going to love it even more now for having looked before I sewed.

I am making this as a new bed quilt for me and have splurged on fabric and I went spelunking through my stash closet to find the right two coral tone-on-tone fabrics

that my quilty muse wants to see in this finished quilt.

Since this is a mystery I will not be posting pictures here on my blog until the whole pattern is released.  You can see pictures of the beautiful quilts in progress
... (including my blocks) ...
on the

 The Quilt & Needle March 2014 Facebook Album Here

Some of these quilts have the same kit fabrics as my quilt will have,

without the addition of the corals.

They are all looking gorgeous!

I love this pattern.

Thank you, Jess, for this  fun frolic through the fabrics!

Since this is a new queen size custom bed quilt for me,
it is my primary goal in this "sewing for me" project.
I have so many other projects and commitments that it will take me some time until I have it finished but I plan to work on this 30 minutes a day.
I hope to have the top pieced by the end of the month.

... just keep sewing ...

Think Spring!
