If you watched my Jelly Roll Race Quilt video ….. this is the quilt I made during the filming.

I picked it up from my longarm quilter today.

I’ll post the video again … for those of you that missed it.

The fabric is:  MISS KATE BY BONNIE AND CAMILLE by Moda

This quilt measures 54 x 64 and at the moment I’m still trying to figure out which family member I’m sending it to … or maybe I should keep it since I filmed a video.

I was just saying today that I’m having a hard time parting with these quilts ….. I hope that’s normal!

See ya!

It’s another cloudy day in Kansas today …. insert sad face!

But …. spring is around the corner … next week they’re saying it could be in the 60’s.

So, my picture today is of the stack of quilts I picked up from Shirley yesterday.

I honestly can’t wait to show you …. but we need to take the pictures once and it’s best to wait for a bright sunny day.

Two of these quilts are mine … and three are gifts  … but I’m gonna hang on to them until our house is germ free.  I don’t think you can send germs in the mail … but I’d like to admire them a little while longer anyway.

I’m sorry I forgot to post the Chic n Clique winners on March 1st … here’s the official announcement.

 Congrats to these three ladies for winning one free month on Chic n Clique!! I’ve sent all three of you an email …. check your inbox.

I’m headed back to my office to do some paper crafting  … I hope I can whip out a bunch of projects real quick!

See ya!

My picture today is of Chase’s quilt … it turned out quite nice considering I really messed it up … several times!

I learned more on this quilt than any other!!

If you’ll remember I was posting small details as I was making it …but I soon lost track of where I went wrong and how to fix it.

So, I stopped posting pictures …  I was even tempted to rip it apart …but Chase kept saying he liked it … mistakes and all.

Here’s a list of some of my mistakes

• I should have added sashing to the outside borders of the quilt.
• The charm pack squares don’t look as nice as the Scallop Square …. next time I’ll cut down the charm packs using the Scallop Square Die.
• I cut the Jelly Roll fabric with the wrong measurement …..  one day I’ll make something with those pieces.
• If I made this quilt again … I would turn all the squares in one direction … instead of making them squares on one row …. and diamonds on the next.

I have to say that the Stipple Quilting saved it and Chase loves it!!  Between you and I … I’m making him another quilt later this year!!

Don’t forget to leave a comment on my Quilt Along post to enter to win a one month membership to Chic n Clique.

See ya!

Here are the final pictures for Daddy’s quilt …. photography by Brooke Juda.

Woven Petite Layer Cake French General for Moda Fabrics

Finished quilt measured 45 x 72 (lap size)

The next picture is the one that Brooke took using her professional backdrop and lights (Nikon D5100 with 50mm prime lens).

The picture looks good …but we’re still not there .. I believe we will need to use a wall so that the quilt is flat … only catch is we don’t have a full wall anywhere on the main level of our house … and our upstairs doesn’t have an empty wall ….due to furniture …etc.  I swear things are never easy ….. but as most of you know I do not give up!!  I will figure out something!!

The final picture was taken with my iPhone

March is our birthday month over on Chic n Clique and we’re having a quilt along with this quilt … I can’t wait to see how many people participate!!

Here are the blog posts where I referenced making this quilt (first it was called layer cake quilt and then daddy’s quilt .. technically it is a Layer Cake Quilt).

p.s. I was finally able to sleep last night … I still have a major cough … but the meds are working.  Rumor has it that the meds should give me fake energy … still waiting to experience that!!  LOL
