My Favorite Color - quilt top

I have been doing alot more posts of the process of quilting since I have seen many people with this button on their blogs.



I think it is a great idea to show everyone the process and what goes into sewing and just not the finished products. So I have taken the process pledge!

Gweniveve has been begging me to make her a blue quilt as that is her favorite color. She also follows me when I go into my stash to find some fabrics and when I pull out one that is blue she tells me no that is for my blue blanket. So we have been collecting blue fabrics for awhile now and I finally finished all the blocks and got the top put together.



The top is 57" x 80" which is alot larger than I was going for but it will be a great quilt for Gwen to have forever.



Every block is a different print which means my stash of blue is rather large! I plan to get this quilted and all done so that I can give it to Gwen for one of her Christmas presents since as we all know quilts are expensive and are alot of time to make especially ones that are this large.



I plan to quilt squares within the squares but we will see it might be a pain to turn this large of a quilt that much.

Alittle this and alittle that

So much has been going on over here. Swaps and more swaps. Fabric. Begging. Basting.Quilting.Pumpkin Patch.

Sew.Love.Chirp. Hoop I made for the Scrappy Hoop Swap but I think I need to start over since I think my partner will like something else that I have up my sleeve. I think I am going to give this one to a friend.



I joined in on the 4th round of the Pillow Talk Swap. I have been in all the rounds and it is my favorite swap. I just love all the creativity and who doesn't love a home dec pillow? Here is my inspriation for my secret parnter. I really want a larger pillow this time ( 20" - 24").




I was in a mood today and went to the awesome fabric store, M&L Fabrics, that is about 45 min. away but it just has a HUGE selection. If you are ever in Orange County CA it is the place to go.



Gweniveve has been begging me for weeks now to make her a blue blanket. So I finally had her pick out all the fabrics she wanted it in and I am just about ready to start. I need to make my Hoop for the swap and then I should be able to begin.



Then I finally basted and quilted my O'Christmas Tree quilt. I am just looking for a great green stripe for the binding but I have had no luck. Does anyone have some or know of some??



To top it all off we took the girls to the pumpkin patch to have some fun.



Soon I have alot of Swap posts. I just have to wait to make mine for the Scrappy Hoop Swap to send to my secret partner. I received mine today but I want to post about them together. I am also waiting for my partner to receive the things I sent her for the All About Christmas Swap for me to post about that one. Yes I have been involved with a lot of swaps! I have loved them but it will be great to get back to sewing things for myself. I am really excited to make the Blue quilt for Gwen.
