Threadology Quilt Along - Quilt Top!!!

So I went out of town this weekend, and didn't even realize that it was over the 1st of June which means . . . The Threadology Quilt Along hosted by the Fat Quarter Shop!!!!   And since all of the blocks are done now, it is time to sew those quilt tops together!!  How fun is that ;)    And of course, I totally forgot to take a picture of my quilt top before I put it on the long arm, so you get a few finished pics today as well!!! 

And if you recall, I choose to do a different setting then the original Threadology design ;)   I used 3 Large Blocks of each of the 8 block designs (24 of the 12" blocks)  and 6 small blocks of each of the 8 block designs (48 of the 6" blocks).   Which of course meant I was sewing more blocks, but they turned out so cute in this layout!!!    Isn't it just so fun!!!  

And I am sure some of you might ask, so here is the basic layout of my altered Threadology QAL finish :)   Simply sew two small blocks together, and then add a large block to the side of the two small blocks to make the new Giant Block.   I just sewed random blocks together to make the Giant Blocks.   Then layout 6 Giant Blocks per column and make 4 columns, alternating the big and small blocks.  Sew it all up into a 72" x 72" finished quilt top ;)   So fun and fast!!!

And if you are quilting along with the Threadology fun you can download the original  quilt top pattern right here and it is requested for each pattern you download to donate $5.00  to the Make a Wish Foundation :)   Or if you have been making extra blocks, you can finish your quilt top like mine :)  Oh, and super exciting news!!!!  And I am super excited to say that  Fat Quarter Shop's annual charity QAL has reached it's stretch goal of  $20,000 that Fat Quarter Shop and Moda will match.  But of course, you can still help Make a Wisth ;)     How awesome is that!!!   And since the stretch goals were reached,  it came a few extra finishing patterns that you can check out at Fat Quarter Shop's blog, they are so fun!!!   

And while making your putting your quilt top together, you can check out the   You Tube video tutorial that walk you through the process of making your quilt top and Kimberly shares some awesome and helpful hints  :)

Be sure to share all of your Threadology progress on social media with #threadologyquiltalong and check out Fat Quarter Shops post for Quilt Top Finishes!!!!    There is so much Threadology inspiration and goodness!!! 

And that's it for the Threadology Quilt Along today!!!!  I will be back on June 15th with more of the actual finish and a special suprise ;)      And if you didn't have time to quilt along, the Threadology Quilting Along patterns will always be available.   Just for future reference :)

Thanks for popping in today ;)  Have a Happy Quilting Day!!

Journal Quilt!!!

Last Friday I shared my Goldenrod Pyramids quilt I made for Spring Market, and today  I am sharing my second secret sewing project for my good friends at Moda Fabrics ;)   And I am so excited!!!  It's not as often that I go totally traditional in my quilts, and so this was a fun way to shake things up.    It's called Journal and isn't it just so pretty!!!!

The fabric in this quilt is called Memoirs by 3 Sisters.  And again, it won't be in stores till November,   but it is totally worth the wait.   I just love the classic colors of this quilt, and the prints are full of beautiful floral creations and budding vines!!!    And there is even some script text thrown in too, which I just love!!! 

The design was done by Carrie Nelson and of course, you know how much I love piecing stars!!!   This quilt obviously has quite a bit of piecing in it, but it really was so much fun to put together.   All of those happy points just make me smile ;)  And I loved making the giant HST border, I will have to remember that, because ya 7" HST's are so fun and easy to trim and look awesome!!! 

And when it came time to quilt it, I went for fast and beautiful which lately has equaled the all over  loose feather design.  I used 402 Pearl which always blends so nicely, even on the darker prints ;)   And I love how all of the soft curves of the quilting offset all of the angles of the triangles.  Just so great!!!    Can't get more classic of a finish then feathers, perfect for a classic quilt!!!

This quilt was also hanging at market, and I got a peek of it in a video that Carrie filmed in the Moda Booth, but I never saw a picture of it so I can't share that here.   But it looked so pretty hanging with all of the Memoirs quilts ;)    It finishes at  72" x 72" so it is a great size to lay out on with a book.

And that is my Journal Quilt and I am so grateful that I got to make it up ;)   I really did enjoy using a more traditional fabric and shaking it up a bit.   And such a pretty finish it made!!!

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!!  

Mail Box Coming and Goings :)

Yesterday was an awesome mail day!!!  Don't you just love those kind of days ;)    First off, I got my May Sew Sampler Box, which I will share more of tomorrow after I get a chance to make this month's block ;)   Second, I got a giant squishy package, and ya all know those are the best kind of packages!!!  I was thrilled when my good friend Jina Barney asked if I wanted to participate in a blog hop for her second fabric line with Poppie Cotton's called Wanderings :)   And look at the pretty goodness that Wanderings is ;)  I already have a pattern written up and I can't wait to get cutting and sewing these gorgeous prints.    And as a side note, You might recall, I also am working on a pattern using Jina's first line Prairie Sisters, and I managed to finish the quilting on it over the holiday weekend, (10 hours of quilting!!!) so hopefully I can get the pattern finished up soon and share it with you all ;) 

And a third Quilty Goodness Package arrived yesterday as well!!!   Speaking of projects in the works, I still haven't decided what pattern I want to do for Jocelyn's bed that I mentioned back here, but I am leaning towards a new design that I could do a tutorial for ya all ;)    And with that planned in my mind, I needed some yardage for binding and since  Lou Lou Fabric Shop's Memorial Day sale was so awesome, I bought some extra so I could make matching curtains to go with the quilt ;)   And that In the Meadow Charm Pack might have hopped in my cart as well, tee hee hee.  You all know I can't resist Charm Packs!!!     Now I just need to decide on a quilt design so I can get on to making her quilt and the tutorial ;)   Anything in particular you would like to see in a new tutorial, a technique or design concept?? 

And with happy incoming mail, I was excited to also have some happy outgoing mail ;)  I finished my Bee Block for Sinta and was thrilled to make another Around The World Block.  If you haven't tried one of these before, they are so much fun!!!  In fact, I even had my Bee Mates make me this block a few years back and made this awesome Small Trips Quilt from them ;)    It really is such a fun and fast quilt with so many layout options, you totally need to try it some day if you haven't already ;) 

And now, I think I best get to cutting, stitching, pressing and repeating with all these new pretty fabrics :)  

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!!
