First Finish of 2013

First off, Happy New Year to all of you. I would like to say I vow to blog more this year but then, I think I always say that and until I get organized, I just would be fibbing. However, I do plan to try harder to blog about what's been happening with me.

For now, here's my first finish of 2013. This quilt is a twin size for my niece, Al, and she chose the Hearts Abloom pattern out of the McCalls QuickQuilts Magazine. However, she asked for turquoise instead of pink. After making it, I think I like the turquoise better.

I chose the black & white fabrics and a turquoise print with a little sparkly.  She was big into gymnastics and is all girly-girl so I figured it would work.  She likes it so I guess it was a good gamble.

A lot of applique.

Four blocks together.

Layout tested.

Rolled onto the frame for quilting.

Wavy line quilting and a bit of binding.

Then a shot of the completed quilt.  Yay!

Cheers!
