Home sweet home...
Is it wrong if the first thing you do upon getting home from vacation... (i mean after kissing the mr., saying hi to the dog and tucking the littles into bed), is busting out your sewing machine and petting your fabric? Am i weird? Don't answer that! So i may have had minor bouts of withdrawl this week and felt it necessary to finish up something on my Q3 FAL list! So may i present, Sidewalk Blocks...
Finally, a finished quilt! It's been what, about two months since i had a proper quilt finish? I think 23 RtT was my last finish.

This one was pretty much finished before i left for vacation, i just needed to add the binding, which i also had made before leaving.
I love the quilting on this. I wasn't sure at first if i would like the alternating dense and loose quilting but i do!
I had an extra block left over so i added it to the back, along with a strip of Sarah Jane's hopscotch print and a bit of her pinwheel print. The section under the hopscotch strip is actually a grey pindot that matches the grey solid perfectly.
So if anyone out there is looking for a lovely little quilt for a baby girl, this one is in the shop! SOLD
40 x 45 inches.
Fussy cut girls and dolls print - Sarah Jane's Children at Play line.
Hopscotch and pinwheel print - Sarah Jane's Children at Play line.
Hearts print - Get Together by David Walker.
Stripe print and dot print - Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane line.
Grey solid and pindot both from Connecting Threads.
Pinks are both Kona but i have no idea what pinks they actually are, sorry.
Quilted by me on my little old Ken.
And that's it!
Linking up with the friday finishes over at crazy mom quilts!
High fives for a proper finish!
Happy weekend everyone!

And thanks to both her and my mom for such a wonderful vacation!!
Cute quilt! Fun vacay pics. We have been visiting all the splash pads in town this summer...there are a lot :)
ReplyDeleteLovely finish and looks like a fantastic vacation too! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting! I think I may try this on the kaleidoscope top I just finished up. Always nervous to try something new.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt! I love pink and grey together. Looks like your vacation was lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like y'all had a great time! I loved seeing the pics. No. You are absolutely NOT weird at all for wanting to sew right when you get back from vacation! I refuse to call that weird, because then I might have to come to some hard realizations about myself! I really like the quilting lines at random intervals and the fussy cut prints on this one. It looks great!
