I just created my blog on Saturday June 22,2013 and here I am writing my first post. How exciting! I have been thinking about starting a blog for the past few months now with the help of two friends guiding me through the process ( I’m a bit of a granny for my generation 🙂 , but grannies can learn new tricks too you know!).
I have been working on this style of quilt for a few years now. It can be described as a basic 9 patch or a checkerboard pattern but I like to call them my ‘sandbox quilts’ due to the cheerful nature of the prints I use and the mixture of all colors and different white-on-white fabrics to balance the child-like prints. It reminds of being a child and playing in the sandbox with all the different toys scattered all around.
I just finished quilting and binding this small size quilt in 4 hours yesterday! That does not count ironing, sewing the back, and actually making the quilt sandwich ( probably my least favorite step so far! ) For the back I chose a solid green with a 1/4 yard cut of green bunny fabric from the Toy Box collection (2009)  by Sara Morgan for Blue Hill Fabrics.  The binding is a pink fabric from my stash with a little pink solid on the corner since I ran out of the pink flowered fabric – time to improvise!
And of course I had the help of a great model…..my nephew Drew 🙂 Here he decided it would be best to act out a playful kitty cuddling up in the ‘Bunny Quilt’!
Looking forward to posting more as I explore the ins and outs of WordPress – you can create your own blog for free and join the fun!
