Quilt Finish

It has been a really rough weekend but I did get a finish on another baby quilt for our Quilting Ministry at church. I woke up on Saturday morning with hardly a voice and raspy cough. Not good. Grandaughter and I headed out for our sewing Saturday at church but ended up leaving by noon so I could come home and go to bed. I hate being sick and usually only about 2 times a year feel this bad. The first time is now, during the NCAA tournament, which I love to watch, and then usually around Thanksgiving. Oh well, such is life. Take a look at the baby quilt, it really turned out cute!

I got the pattern off of the "Moda Bake Shop" blog and it went together quickly. Last month one of the ladies at the church cut all the charm squares in half and then I just sewed them together once I got home. You can see how I quilted it in the next pix and the quilting didn't take long at all either, just whipped it out after supper one evening.


And since I had one strip left over, like the pattern said I would, I put it on the back, just like the pattern showed. I was amazed since when I make something from a pattern it usually doesn't end up like the pattern says it should. LOL



Back to the couch to finish watching the basketball games. They seem to always be exciting and I don't want to miss anything! :D

Very cute! I finished piecing my stacked coins, now it needs to be quilted.
Hope you get to feeling better.

This turned out great! I have a stacked coins quilt on my to do list in my head. It's a great way to use a charm pack.

Nice work! Feel better soon.

Very adorable quilt. I'll have to remember that one next time I need to whip something up in a hurry. Rumor has it that cold and flu season is going to have a spring fling this year. I hope you get to rest and watch the games on TV.
