Tops to the long arm quilter

 As mentioned in my previous post, I have been working flat out in my day job.  But I have gotten a little stolen time in my quilting nook in the basement.

My cookie tin has more blocks in it.

These are block parts for two different projects.

And, I assembled a top and put borders on it.

All 30's reproduction fabric.  A close up:

Pretty electric I would say!  Next, a top of Criss cross stars (what is the correct name for this block?) done in real vintage fabric and feedsacks:

And a close up:

Both quilt tops (and backing) have been dropped off at the long arm quilter.  I use Boone's Quilting - you can find her on Facebook.  She does a great job.

Back with a finish: Feedsack trees

 Good Day and welcome to my blog!

I have been working flat out at my day job, no real time to sew until recently.  Oh, I sewed a few cut pieces together as stress relief, but no time to finish anything major.  And there wasn't much to do, so no excuses!

I had a quilt back from the local long-armer who did a lovely pattern of hearts and leaves, using thin cotton batting.  All I had to do was trim it square, prepare binding, and attach said binding.  This I did last weekend.

It is a pattern adapted from Winter Solstice - the tree part of that pattern.  I did the trees in various real feedsack fabrics, acquired from ebay or antique fairs.  It ended up an odd size, about 61 ? (I think) by 75 inches or so.

Laid out on the brown carpeted floor - sorry about the keystoning.  And a closer look:

I attached the binding to the back by machine, folded it over to the front, and top stitched it down.  It's faster this way.

I am happy with how this turned out, and how the feedsack fabrics are featured.

Other sewing?  Some flying geese blocks, assembled into Dutchman's Puzzle blocks:

These are done in reproduction 1930's and 1940's fabrics.
