Friday Fun

This is another finish of sorts.  I hope to have the quilt top completely pieced as well as the backing done tomorrow.  This quilt is for my dear husband.  He loved the Winter's Stars quilt that I made with Kate & Birdie Paper Co.'s Winter's Lane.  Didn't want to give it away.  So I promised I would make a quilt for him.

When I saw Kate & Birdie Paper Co.'s Bluebird Park, I knew that was the fabric for his quilt.  We have a bluebird house in our backyard.  Every year, our bluebirds come and raise one or two clutches of eggs.  My husband is diligent in keeping them fed with mealworms.  I love the owls and hedgehogs on the fabric!

 
 
As you can see, I still have some work to do.   I used 3 charm packs and 1 1/2 yards of the fabric for the background.  There will be two borders added.  The X's and O's pattern is fairly quick and easy.  I have an X's and O's edge to edge quilting pattern that I will quilt it with.  Perfect for my husband!
 
I have another quilt to cut out and piece this weekend, too.  It is a special quilt for a wonderful person and friend.  More later.
 
What my doggies do while I sew!  Linking up with Finish it up Friday Crazy Mom Quilts.  Happy Friday!

  5. I'm sure your husband will love it! I made my husband a quilt a few years ago and let him pick out the fabric -- he ended up with skulls, flames, and an assortment of other things.. But he likes it and that's all that matters. Also, I love the combination of greens, oranges, and yellows -- it reminds me of a hexi quilt I am handpiecing and need to get back to.
