Easy As ABC Black Friday Finish

Happy Black Friday!  Thanksgiving Day is for overeating and Black Friday is for overspending.  Right?  My thanks to those bloggers who did take the time to post where all the good deals are at. 

I am caught up with my Easy as ABC QAL.  Yay!  Here are pictures.


 
 
Going to link up to Blossom Heart Quilts and Crazy Mom Quilts.  This will be a Christmas gift to my Grandson.  He is almost 3, loves the alphabet and is reading some words!  Having fun with this although the X and Y were a bit tricky for me. 
 
So, that is how I spent my Black Friday other than surfing some great fabric sales and now I am off to go help my husband trim the tree.

Hop Skip and Jump Blocks Link Up


Here are my six seven blocks for the Hop Skip Jump BOM.  I have seven because I did the bonus block.  We are at the halfway point.  (Really!!??  It has been six months??) 

Because there are prizes, and I am a sucker for prizes, linking up to the Hop Skip and Jump Link Up.  : )  This BOM is hosted by Sew Lux Fabric.  Here is the link to the shop and their Thanksgiving Specials!

These are actually on my 4th Q FAL and are caught up! 

Sew far, sew good,

A Big 4th Quarter Finish!

Drum roll, please!  Finally!  A 4th Quarter Finish!  Whooooo hooooo!

I can now cross Constellations quilt off of my project list.  I could go on and on about all the things that went wrong during this project.  There was some blood shed with a sewn finger (um, don't ask) and scissors falling off the ironing board with the pointy end stuck in my foot.  Unbelievably, I didn't get any blood on the quilt.  Whew!  It's done!  Finished!  Yay!

Here is a picture of Constellations quilted with binding sewn on the front:

 
The pattern is one called Midnight Sky by Michael Miller.  I made the pattern bigger in EQ7 and it ended up at  approximately 78" x 89". 
 
Here is a picture of the back:
 


The quilting pattern really shows up on the back of the quilt.  I used King Tut in the top and bobbin.
