I Finished Something!

It's about time that I got something finished! I've had the top and the back done for this quilt for at least 3 months now. It's just been sitting there, begging for me to quilt and bind it! So the other day, with a million other things I should have been doing, I pulled it out and began quilting it. I was about half way done when I ran out of thread. I went to Broadbents the next day and got more thread and finished it up! Take a look, I absolutely LOVE it!





I used Moda's Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey. I saw this material and had to have it last year at the quilt shop hop! I used Mary Cottage Quilts' Crossroads pattern. I loved every minute of making this quilt, from start to finish. I have to say sometimes after I finish the top, or I've quilted it, I just wanted it to be done. But this one I thoroughly enjoyed the whole way through. Mary, from Mary's Cottage Quilts, was actually at our quilt guild the night I brought the top of this to show off. It was a little intimidating, but she said she loved it!

I'm so glad to have one of my projects done! I'm working on a few others. I'm hoping this year will be a HUGE year of completion and closure for me! Here's to 2010!

Block Exchange

We are doing a block exchange for our quilt group here in Alpine. The first block that we are making are 4 patches. I made three of each these. Our colors this year are pink, blue and brown. It will look so cool when there are all together. We are planning on making about 20 blocks each month and trading them. At the end of the year we will have about 180 different blocks! I can make one HUGE quilt or a couple of them.
