Saturday Sewing

I feel like I accomplished alot today but there isn't much to show for it by way of pictures!  I got labels on both baby quilts and quilted and bound this one--Storytime Squares (the other one was already done).  This one will be for Chance (my cousin Crystal's not yet born third son) and the other one is for my cousin Taylor's not yet born son yet to be named.
I also got the other Eye Spy quilt spray basted and pinned to be tied.  I may give that to my best friend Monica's honorary grandson (her son's fiance has a little boy named Carter) if I get it done in time to go.

A Pair of Baby Boy Quilt Tops

 Coleman and I enjoyed a short day at work today and a lunch at the TeePee with my aunt, uncle and cousins who are in town from Wisconsin.  (Fools visiting us this time of year, lol!) Then I decided to use up some of this fabric bought three summers ago on a trip to Wisconsin..I want to hit Mill's End again and I sure can't justify that if I have all this still hanging around right?  So I dug out my go to Bonnie Hunter "Streak of Sunshine" pattern and a new to me "Storytime Squares" pattern by Rae Hoekstra.  Both patterns are free online.  Here are the pictures which I remembered to take often!



Streak of Sunshine Beatrix Potter Quilt 

 Here the cat and I are hard at work sewing :)  Here is Storytime Squares...


These colors are so relaxing and muted and not the colors I usually go for, but the price was right at the time and I am always in need of baby fabric.  Even with making one of the two backings I still have most of the stack of fabrics left...think I overbought on this line!
Since two of my cousins are currently pregnant with boys I am guessing these quilts will find their way to good homes to snuggle some happy babies!

February Sewing So Far!

My Lupine and Laughter quilt top is a flimsy.  I like how this one turned out in my colors.  Different from any others I have done for sure....
