Friday Finish - 06/02/17

Well Sharla finished her True Colors quilt....Yeah!!!! We didn't really have a pattern for this one, Sharla saw a quilt she liked on Pinterest, but the link didn't lead to a pattern, so I used EQ to create one. We just played with the sizes until we got the best use of a fat quarter. Then she decided to sash it, which the original quilt did do. When we started to cut the quilt we realized the kit she purchased had more quarter yard cuts not fat quarters. So I gave her my FQ bundle to use. The pattern I plan on using can use either/or. She also decided she didn't want to use all the fabrics in the bundle, but the kit she got had some 1/2 yard cuts in it as well, so we cut the extras from those fabrics. I think it turned out very nice.


I think I may have converted her to a Tula Pink fan. She really loves the bright colors in this one. I saw her scoping out the latest bundle by Tula. But we are on a strict fabric diet until July when we count up our piggy banks. We too the top to the gazebo to photograph because it was late afternoon and the sun was really bright and we needed the shade.


We snapped a few photos and were on our way. She picked the orange and pink fabric in bottom row for her backing and the lazy yellow stripe for the binding. It will definitely be a bright and cheerful quilt. It is pretty large too, I think it is 80 x 100 right now, so after quilting and washing it will most like be used on her bed. She didn't get her other May quilt done, but I think she still is happy, because she really wanted to do this one.

We are still both making good progress on our #100days100blocks2017, we've posted 27 days as of today, and both have worked ahead so that we can be prepared and not sewing at the last minute. I've already started working on my June quilt, and she will start hers this weekend. So we are doing good!!! I am linking up with Can I Get A Whoop Whoop @ Confessions of a Fabric Addict,  Needle and Thread Thursday @ My Quilt Infatuation, Finish It Up Friday @ Crazy Mom Quilts, and Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday @ chezzetcook. I'll be back on Sunday to report my numbers for the week and show you our blocks for the week.
