What a Relief!!

 Finally it's finished. 

As you can see, I quilted a beadboard border which meant a lot of ruler work.

The cameos are quilted in circle feathers and the sashing is a small stipple.

 I like the look of the circle feathers from the back.

 This is one of my favorite cameos,  probably because of the red print.

I took this picture before it was bound, when I first unloaded it.  I used double batting in this quilt to give a higher loft to the border.  The fabric is Joanna Figueroa's "Mill House Inn". 

Cameos!

 I finished the Cameo quilt top yesterday.

 Between trips to Salt Lake and Relief Society business  I wasn't able to work on it much these last two weeks.

 I love the colors in the Mill House Inn collection.

 I added a 7 inch floral border to make it fit a queen size bed.

I probably won't quilt this one for a little while.  I want to enter it in the county fair next summer so I need to practice the perfect quilting pattern on some other quilts before I do this one.

This Week's Project!

 I've had the pattern and fabric for this project for a while,  it's been sitting in one of my fabric closets.  The pattern is called Cameos and the fabric is Mill House Inn, both are by Fig Tree and Co.  The green inner round is actually left over from the Fresh Cottons fabric I had for the Saltwater Taffy quilt.(also designed by Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree and Co.)  figtreequilts.com

The pattern is for a lap size quilt but I wanted to make this one a queen size for our bed so I bought extra fabric because I need 42 cameos instead of 20.

 I started out with rectangles and then added a square to each corner then trimmed.

 I then pressed each corner out flat

 and added the top and bottom, then the sides and

 trimmed the corners again.

 Now it's time to open the Honeybun (I used 2)

and add another round.

 Here is one of the finished cameos,  isn't it pretty?

 I have finished 20 of these and have 22 more finished except for the 3rd round.  I had no idea these would be so time consuming, though I know once this quilt is finished it will be well worth the time and effort.

This is only part of what I have trimmed off of the corners.
