Completed Swoon

 It's finally finished.  I really love how this quilt turned out.

 I quilted it in a continuous swirl pattern with white cotton thread on front and back.  The back is a sheet from Ikea and the batting is Hobbs 80/20.

I just love looking at it!

Late Wedding Gift

 I finished Miranda (daughter) and Aldo's wedding quilt today.

 It measures 90 x 90 and has a backing made up of two twin size Ikea flat white sheets.

 The batting is an 80/20 cotton-poly blend and it has been washed and dried in a delicate cycle with a Shout Color Catcher sheet so the red didn't bleed onto the white.

I did a simple stipple quilting pattern because I felt like the fabric and cute pattern is the main focus of this quilt.  The binding is a gray print from the Ruby collection.  Of course Ruby is a fabric from the fabulous Bonnie and Camille.  This quilt is soft and cuddly and I know Miranda will love it.

Skipping Squares

Swoon!

 I first saw the "Swoon" pattern by Camille Roskelley last May on her blog. (Simplify)  It was love at first sight.

I bought  a" Ruby" collection fat quarter pack last October just for this project.  Yesterday I finally got started.  I set a goal to make one of these blocks each day (except Sunday) until all 9 are finished.

 This blue and gray one was my first block made yesterday.  These are a lot bigger than one would think.  They measure 24 1/2 inches right now.

Here they are together, tomorrow it is a gray and red block.  These are all made up of half square triangles and flying geese blocks and even though they take awhile I think the end result is worth it.  They are beautiful.
