The first quilt done!

I had to take a couple days off from my flog.  My work schedule doesn't always allow for time to work on projects or have time to post them.  Only a couple more pieces of this quilt to finish.  Well, at the least the top is almost done.  This much I finished yesterday.

And today it is done!

 I laid it on a full size bed but it was made to fit a queen.  It looks great!

 And only a small injury in the process!

If you know me, I can't just work on one project at a time.  Back to work my brother's wedding quilt.  Here is a preview of it.

Creating a rainbow

If I am putting together a quilt that I found online, I always like to have some reference to go to when I am creating my own.  A big color picture and a short tutorial always helps the process.

Right now the quilt is in two separate pieces.  I need 7 more blocks to complete the row on the side.  To make it a queen size quilt I have to add 3 more rows to the width.

All of my Harry Potter watching is complete.  Ready for the final movie at the end of this week.

Putting together rainbows

I was planning on going to the beach today, well needless to say, that didn't happen.  I laid out the majority of the rest of the quilt.  I had to cut some extra pieces of teal, orange and yellow.  I thought I might be able to make my quilt with no fabric repeating but I was wrong.  So close!  But my stash is probably big enough as it is.

I was able to sew together 3 more rows today.  Only 4 more to go from what I set out in the picture above.  

Only need to add about 3 or 4 more rows to the width to make a queen size.

My project stack is growing!  And this is only part of what I'm working on above.  I've got a whole resuable bag full of projects just waiting for their turn.

4 1/2 Harry Potter movies down, 2 1/2 more to go! 

Piecing together

I finished cutting up most of the pieces of the quilt yesterday and starting piecing them together today. 

It is hard to tell the complete pattern, the floor that I work on is very distracting.  When I add in the white between the colors it will make a huge difference.

I will have to piece together all of these and then add additional rows afterwords.  I don't have a lot of crafting space in this house.  Have to be creative with not only crafts but construction!

3 rows down, 8 to go.  3 Harry Potter movies down, 4 to go.  Off to work, the quilt will wait until tomorrow.

Starting another quilt

I saw this quilt online and wanted to make it.

It's gorgeous.  I finally found the website again at Fresh Lemons Quilts and it had a tutorial on how to make it.  

I starting cutting up the pieces from my fabric collection.  

3 days of cutting will do it, when work gets in the way

Time will fly by while watching a Harry Potter Movie Marathon before the last movie comes out.
