It's a FINISH

No not just a top but a full on Quilt that you can snuggle under.

Allow me to introduce my

Fandango Boxed in Quilt

and I made a pieced back for it to

This is the first large quilt that I have actually quilted so I stuck with "in the ditch" which wasn't such a bad idea as I really have to get used to dealing with the weight and bulk of a quilt in/on my sewing machine.

 I did get a call late yesterday to let me know that my extension table has arrived after a 6 week wait so I can't wait to get it as I am sure it will make things a little easier and now I will have it for my quilting class next month, then I can seriously think about FMQ.

I know that this quilting job is way from perfect but in a way that is what makes it perfect, right :o)

I have a few more quilt tops already made that I am now a little less hesitant to finish off so fingers crossed I get to them sooner rather than later.

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy stitching and enjoy your weekend.

My Sewing Fix is (almost) FINISHED!

My Fandango Boxed In Quilt - Sewing Fix!

Oh I feel so much better now!  It is just amazing how much better one who loves to "create" can feel when they have (almost) finished something that they started when they needed a FIX.  It's a bit like chocolate but without the calories :o)

I have taken my Fandango Layer cake and a few yards to Fandango Fabric and made this .....

I have used the Boxed In Quilt Pattern over a Moda Bake Shop.  It was designed by KarrieLyne from Freckled Whimsy and I just love the way that it has turned out :o)

And for something different (for me anyway) I decided to piece together a quilt back from the fabric that I had left and this is what I have ended up with (It is not trimmed yet but I wanted to get a photo before it started to rain again)

I can't wait to sit down an finish it off but that may have to wait until the children go back to school in a bit over a week.

I'm off now to do the next step on the Simple Things Quilt Along.

Happy Stitching, Sharon
