Frogs and Fairies and Squirrels, Oh My!!

This week I am so excited to say that I have been working on sewing one of the Wedding Quilts for my son and his new bride to be!!  And it has Frogs and Fairies and Squirrels!!  So cute!!!  

The theme of the reception is Fairy Garden, so I am making this adorable Fairy Garden Quilt to hang there.  And the reception colors are dusty pink and dusty blue so I am using South Hill to make it and it is just coming together so wonderfully.  I just love these blocks!!   

And seriously, this took like twice as long to cut out as to piece.   I pretty much made all of the blocks but 2 on Monday and finished up the last two yesterday.  Now to sew them all into a quilt top :)  I am hoping to get this one done quick, but I am teaching again from Thursday to Saturday so it might have to wait for next week.  

But I can't let it wait to long because you might notice I said Quilts ;)  Fairy Garden is super cute for the reception, but they still need a quilt for their new bed right!!!  And my all this mythical and magical fun loving couple have chosen the Chillin' With my Gnomies Quilt pattern by Kiley's Quilt Room with the Expansion of hovels, frogs, and mushrooms.  

And because my Son thinks I can do just about anything when it comes to quilts, he asked if I could add a dragon to the quilt ;)  And of course, I said yes :)   So I am using this Dragon Dreams Quilt Pattern by Apples and Beavers  and adjusting it a bit here and there to make it fit into 3 "spaces" in the corner of the quilt.   

My plan is to make a 4 x 4 block layout which will be 80 x 80 and then add a border to make it a queen size quilt.  I am going to use a Crossweave bundle by Moda and coordinating yardage.  I think this bundle has the perfect colors for the gnomes and enough wonderful neutrals for the hovels, beards, shoes, and mushrooms.  And the Dragon was requested in blues :)  I am so excited!!!  I love how soft Crossweave is and I think they will make the cutest quilt for these two!!  

So I best get pressing some fat quarters and cutting out some Gnomes!!!  The wedding is March 8th, so I have  2 weeks and 2 days to pull it off ;)   Oh ya, I got this ;)
