Quilty Finish #11: Grassy Creek Mystery Quilt 2021

-
Grassy Greek Mystery Quilt #271

 Size: 92" square

Started 11/27/20 - Finished 11/26/21

It's been a while since I've posted a completed quilt, and I am happy to post this finish -- my Grassy Creek Mystery Quilt, which I started a year ago.


I was rushing to finish it before Bonnie released the first clue of her new 2021 mystery quilt ... and today is that day.  Yea!  Finished just in time.


The backing is a new sheet printed with green and gray leaves, which is perfect for this quilt.  I used a gray binding that I sewed on by machine.  I used Warm and Natural batting and quilted it with a simple scroll edge-to-edge pantograph.


This is the last quilt that I quilted on my Mega Quilter machine and Inspira frame.  


I've had this set up in my formal dining area for a few years, and as happy as I am to have it gone and to start quilting on my new Moxie, I'm also going to miss it as it has served me well for the past 16 years. But I am happy that it is going to a good home.  


My BFF friend and quilting buddy recently moved into her new home, and she now has a quilting studio.  It is also difficult for her to sandwich her quilts on the floor.  So I am gifting this frame and will take it to her next week.  I can't wait to see her and get a tour of her new home.

Update 11/2/2022:  My friend decided the frame was too big for her room and was also unable to use her older sewing machine.  The frame is stored away for now until I figure out what to do with it.

Until next time ... 
Be happy and keep on quilting!

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

-

These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes as long as the squares are equal in size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I us...

Quilty Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars Quilt

Halloween No Point Stars Quilt #253  Size: 50" x 56" Started 9/18/20 - Finished 10/15/20 I previously posted about my Halloween No Point Stars top, and I am happy to say that I finally finished the quilt ... just in time for Halloween! I used a polyester snow blanket remnant for the batting.  Yes, a snow blanket that is used for Christmas villages.  This was not originally intentional.  I didn't want to use Warm & Natural as I was not going to use this as a "blanket" but rather as a display/decoration.  I wanted a lightweight batting, so I looked through my bin of batting remnants and found what I thought was just right. As I was basting the quilt, I noticed some glitter - not much - just a tiny bit on the "batting".  It finally dawned on me why it felt a little different!  How did this snow blanket get mixed in with my regular batting remnants?  Anyway, I was already halfway done, so I decided to go with it. I didn't have any Halloween fabri...
