An Aqua Quilt.

 I originally refered to this quilt as blue, but it is really more an aqua colour. Either way it is finished. Binding sewn down and label on! Yahh! It does feel nice to have a finished quilt, it has been awhile. It measures 32 x 41 inches, perfect cot size for a few born that is 3 months old now!

The quilting was just straight lines up and down. It was the last quilt to be quilted on Mum's Janome 1600. She has taken it away with her and now I have my little Brother to sew with. The husband has given me the okay to buy a new machine. Any recommendations?

A Quilt Top in a Week?

I feel quite proud of myself. From cutting to finished quilt top in a week. I sewed all the dissapperaing 9 patches together, added a 2 inch sashing and wolah, finished! It measeures 32 by 42 inches. Perfect newborn baby size.

And I have gone for my flavour of the month quilting technique, straight up and down quilting lines. In blue Aurifil. So far I have quilted 52 lines without having to change the bobbin! Have to love that!!!

Blue Disappearing 9 Patch Baby Quilt.

Look, I am sewing again! A friend had a baby boy on the weekend. She kept the sex of the baby a suprise and so I have held off on sewing anything till he was born. So now I have to whip up something quick! What does one turn to in such a case? The good old dissappearing 9 patch block! This one is three 9 patches across and four down. With a bit of luck I should have the top finished by the weekend....
