Fractured - Whole

 My deck wasn't quite high enough to keep this quilt from dragging on the ground. It is 91 x 104"  I used a medium grey thread, Bottom Line by Superior Threads, on this quilt. It blends well over all the various colors on this quilt.  The back is flannel and I used the block pieces that I had sewn backwards on the back.  It was easy to get confused.  I had the green stripe binding fabric in my stash.

I had lots of fun making this quilt, using up some strange fabrics, but I'm glad it's finished. 

We will be at the lake when this posts - our neighbor is having a barbecue for the whole neighborhood this weekend and  I hope to spend some time working on my lake sewing projects.
 Happy Weekend!

Two Quilts Finished ------- Fractured and Arrow Star

Started quilting this last week after we got home from the lake. I used an all over spiral design. The quilt is large so I wanted something that went pretty fast.

The backing is a green and brown flannel print.  I was worried about using a flannel backing on such a large quilt knowing the way flannel stretches.  I did have one bad tuck just as I was finishing the last corner.  It took me a  while to rip it out. I used a striped binding.  It is 91 x 104"  Hope to get a picture of the whole quilt soon. 

 I also put the binding on the Arrow Star Quilt.  I  used a red on red stripe for it.

Two quilts remain in my quilts-in-waiting pile - one a wall hanging and the other a large Dresden plate.  I bought some white Aurifil thread especially for the Dresden Plate Saturday while in Wilmington. Now I have to get up my nerve and just do it.

Fractured

This is a top that I started sewing on in December. The pattern is from Material Obsessions. It decided to make it using larger rectangles and it is a little bigger than I planned on. I decided to trim the blocks to 13 1/2"- hope I don't have a mess when I start to sew them together.
