giddy postage stamp quilt finished

I love this quilt..... it all started in January.... when I joined a quilt along.... I have talked about this before on this blog.... I put lots of words in the quilting....

Rachel has a fun way of doing a postage stamp quilt... 1200 squares in all.... using 2 jelly rolls.... it measures about 62 x 82..... I used a blue fabric for the back....

I am happy with the turquoise binding... and happy that I did not add a border.... and happy with the turquoise quilting thread................ Smiles and hugs....Caryl

Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Vol. 4

I was the lucky winner of a copy of the Quiltmaker's 100 block, Vol 4 by making a comment on Sarah's Sew Joy blog here during the blog hop!! I just received the magazine and it is filled with lots of inspiration. Go to her blog to see her Jolly Holly block! Thank you Sarah for choosing my name. Now I wish I had volumes 1, 2 and 3.....this is awesome!! Smiles and hugs....Caryl

persistence

oh no!! I did it again!! I misspelled a word in my quilt!! I didn't notice it until I looked at the photo.... I have done this before....and I used to be a really good speller!!!....I decided to just leave it..... sometimes it is funny to see if people notice mistakes....hee hee.......... the reason I took this photo was to show my binding progress on the giddy postage stamp quilt... and also to show the blue backing....

another project is the 12 days of Chrismtas tabletopper... with the hand stitching merry christmas started.....

the next photo shows the machine stitching and the hand stitching...

last evening I wanted to capture the dark pink color across the sky... with the moon coming up.... also captured some blue hour.... Smiles and hugs....Caryl
