I had a little set back yesterday and did not get as far along as I wanted due to a vicious headache, but happy to report that I was able to make up the lost ground today, completing the quilting of the flannel quilt (will share tomorrow when binding is done) and getting the piecing done for the Road to Spring baby quilt. This is expected to come in at about 40 x 45 so maybe more a toddler size. I am loving these colors! I have the brown bandanna print for the back and I think I will run a strip of the dots through it to add interest. The brown stripe shown is planned for binding.
This will now be put aside till next weeks installment of the quilt along. I am going to now go prepare the binding for the flannel so I can pin that tonight while watching TV with the family. Its NCIS night!
Your Road to Spring Quilt is beautiful...love the colors and the simplicity of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt!!! I can't wait to see it finished.

I get vicious headaches too...not fun! Your quilt is looking great. The way my week is going I'll be lucky if I complete the piecing this week, although it looks like it goes fast.
ReplyDeleteDiane, love the colors of this one too. Hope your headache gets better, they are rough. I have the next 12 days off so I am planing something fun that I haven't decided about yet.
ReplyDeleteI've picked browns and blues for my quilt, too. Yours is very nice, and you were very fast to get it done already!! My strips are all finished, and I'm sewing them together tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI just found your lovely blog! That will be great baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing!
This quilt is looking good. I don't usually use this colour combo but I really like the look of this. The stripey brown print sounds perfect for the binding. Shame about your headache, hope you don't get them too often:(
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt...looks great! OMG! We love NCIS...we are always on the couch at 8:00 sharp on Tuesday night!
ReplyDeleteI love all of the colors!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks lovely Diane. Great progress!!
ReplyDeleteOhh, I love this quilt! I hope your headache feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better!! would never of thought to put Blue and brown together but your quilt is looking great.
ReplyDeleteGenerally I frown upon (for myself) making a quilt out of just one fabric line, but that look is so tempting. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteBlue and browns together have always looked especially good in any quilt using Civil War reproduction fabrics. But I think you've just proven they can look great in a "modern" quilt, too. Good job!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday (early) My husbands is on the 13th...Love the quilt!

ReplyDeleteOh I'm an NCIS fan too.
ReplyDeleteThe blues & browns look great together. That's one combo I've never tried.
love it! they have katie jump rope on sale at SMS, I think, if you need some more :) thanks for your comment on my quilt - it was extra funny because I LOVE tetris! My husband got me a 1980's nintendo and a tetris game for my bday last year. I was SO excited. So, I guess when I play a lot of tetris, it shows in my quilting :)
