Bring It On

For those of you who read my post on Friday I presented a list of goals for fall.  The very first one was to finish two quilts.  I have finished the top of one quilt!  I bought the back and am taking it to the quilters this coming weekend!  I am well on my way to fulfilling part of one goal!

This pattern came from American Patchwork and Quilting magazine, August 2010.  I followed the pattern . . .kinda.  Thanks to the Fountain of Life Lutheran Quilt Group  I had a bunch, I mean a BUNCH, of pre-cut 2 1/2 " red strips.  I used those along with some old cream colored scraps and this quilt was formed.  The dimensions are different than those given in the magazine but its the same idea.

I cannot wait to get it back from the quilters and finish it off!  I know this is my very first post about quilting but don't you worry, there are many more to come.  Now since I have the goal of finishing quilting projects you will be seeing a lot more completed quilts, most of them all I have to do is sew the binding on.  Binding is my least favorite part of quilting, but it does feel good when you finish!

Keep Calm and Quilt On,

Felicity
