weekend in stitches

what's the point of having a LA if you never quilt your own quilts?

so, i quilted one of mine today! it might look familiar to some- its the spring block swap from 2010!

i quilted a new to me design. i've seen this design floating around and i figured it was time to actually give it a go and stitch it out. it's a leaf echo fill. i'm calling it 'forest floor'.

i ran to Tiny Stitches while i was out getting lunch (and i had to get lucky some food) and found this great fabric for the binding. it's a green ombre and i pieced it to where the color change continues across the seam. i think it'll look awesome. i plan on sewing it to the edge as soon as i publish this post.

doesn't it look like a pile of lettuce?

and i decided what i was going to do with those hand dyed fat quarters from last post...

i cut them up last night for the HST idea.... i really liked bonnie hunter's quilt with the cheddar yellow and the florals and i have a stash of floral fabrics....so i'll save the jacob's ladder idea for those...

i cut (12) 4 7/8inch squares from 13 FQs...should give me a nice large throw sized quilt.  

i already know how i'm going to quilt it- FEATHERS (as if there were any doubt :) )

i couldn't sleep last night, so i pieced this small wall hanging from the leftovers from cutting up the FQs.

so that's what i did last night and today. the weather was perfect for staying in and sewing!
