Warm Cool Quilt

Here is my finished Warm Cool Quilt! I was a little late to the party for the quilt along but it was fun to make anyway.

I continued the warm cool theme on the back as well.

Very happy with how this turned out!

summer fun

Last weekend we went to our local Hot Air Balloon Festival. I really look forward to this all summer because it is so beautiful to watch all the colorful balloons! It was a bit windy but a few balloons were able to inflate for the evening "glow".

The Forest Service had a trailer set up and a Smokey the Bear for the kids to say hi to. Jack was actually too scared to go up to Smokey when he waved to him but as soon as he turned his back, Jack followed him everywhere. It was pretty funny!

I have my finished Warm/Cool quilt to show you tomorrow!

quick post

Last week I was sort of sidelined by some mysterious joint pain/swelling. I'm feeling back to normal now but there were several days that left me unable to do much which really bummed me out since I have so much I want to work on right now. Luckily as I started getting better I was able to sit and sew at my machine...which means I have 3 finished quilt tops ready to be layered and quilted!

One of them is my Warm Cool Quilt Along quilt.

Hopefully this little guy will get finished up this week!

But right now, I am totally motivated to clean so I must take full advantage of it since it probably won't last long!

project #1 completed for August goal

On Monday I finished up this custom quilt order. I was given free reign on choosing the color scheme so I hope the recipient likes it! The color scheme was totally inspired by this quilt.

Some lovely Joel Dewberry on the back (sorry for the poor picture quality).

And even though I was making my own pattern I still managed to mess something up. Do you see it????

I'm hoping you don't.

In that case, let me point it out:

I discovered this little slip up while basting the layers together just before quilting. I'm just going to call it the charm of a handmade quilt! :)

P.S. if you missed my last post, my goal for August is to FINISH projects (hence the title of this post).
