Finished Patriotic Runner

It's done. Yay, I'm happy my project is finished and on the table. 

I quilted the runner myself so it isn't perfect. I have only quilted a few pieces. 

I love patriotic pieces and enjoy working with patriotic fabric.

Our porch is showing some patriotism too. 

Thanks for stopping by - Judy.

Working on A Patriotic Runner

I'm working on a patriotic tablerunner for the 4th of July. I bought a fat quarter bundles of patriotic pieces of fabric. 

Block 1 is complete.

You can see the pattern is all half square triangles except for the corner. 

The pattern in a quilt pattern in the Summer V.4, Issue 3 of a Missouri Star Quilt Co. Block book. 

I am just using one row of the quilt. I choose this pattern because it is a 10.5 block and will work well for me on a sofa table. 

Blocks 2 and 3 are completed, too.

Now I have two more blocks to go. Hope to work on them this week. 

On the crafty side, I revived an old spring wreath into a patriotic one. Added some vining geraniums and a patriotic bow and poof, it was ready to be hung on the door. The ribbon is from Michael's. 

Thanks for stopping by - Judy.

Christmas Quilt Progress

I started this Christmas Quilt in January, 2018, but was undecided on what I wanted for borders. 
The fabric is "Christmas in The Wildwood" by Nancy Mink for Wilmington Prints.

I loved the fabric but found I didn't want to cut the cardinals. While shopping at a fabric store in Paducah, KY, I saw a quilt where 10" squares were sewn together. So this is what I decided to do with the fabric.

I wasn't really happy with the top so decided to put the quilt top away for a few months until I could decide what I wanted for the borders. Luckily, I had bought two packages of strips and later decided to make a piano border. Strips were sewn together and cut in 13 inch sections for a wide border. I thought the border should be wide since the quilt is king size.

The border is sewn on and I am liking the quilt a lot more now. 

I looked on Pinterest for ideas on the corner of the piano borders and found this idea.

I think the piano border really makes the quilt. Now it is off to the quilter. Thanks for stopping by - Judy.
