Friday Finish For Mum!

This one took quite a while to finish, but so worth it!

This is Bonnie and Camille's Round and Round pattern that I've used before and just love working on the large blocks.

Fabric is Day Sail from Camille Roskelley........... perfect for a summer quilt!

The back was what took me the longest.  I debated on whether to track down more yardage of Day Sail or to piece the back with what I had left.  I found the little sail boat blocks on pinterest....

I also added more friendship blocks for another border to break up the solid blue.

I recently read a blogger's post that talked about having trouble photographing finished quilts...

My Liam is not concerned... and maybe a bit bored?

This quilt is a gift for the family's Cape House!  Just in time for the 4th of July vacation week!  

Linking up with Crazy Mom and NTT....

Thanks for stopping by and an early Happy 4th to all!

Spring is in the air.

After completing the round and round quilt top I had quite a bit of fabric left over from the Day Sail collection.  This block is another round and round featuring the blues and greens from Camille Roskelley's collection.  They are fresh, crisp fabrics that pop when set against a white background.  

Since it's school vacation week, we made a trip to a local art supply store for some inspiration.  

Thank you for visiting!

Red, White and of course, Blue

This is my first project for 2016.  It's a pattern I've used twice before called Round and Round by Camille Roskelley.  I've used Day Sail fabric choosing the reds and blues this time.  

Besides taking the time to square up all of those HSTs, this pattern comes together quickly.  The blocks are large measuring about 25".   I've completed five blocks so far.  I should have a complete quilt top within a few days to share.

The completed quilt top should measure about 68"x72".

Linking up with My Quilt Infatuation this week.

Happy Friday Everyone:)

Thanks for visiting Pretty in the Port!

Fireworks! (in August)

This is a project I've been wanting to do for a while.  The pattern is Camille Roskelley's titled, Fireworks.  This is a fairly large quilt that is made out of 16 blocks which are mostly pieced out of HSTs.

I chose the fabric from her Day Sail collection which I love!

 

Here's a close up of some of the fabric.  This might be my favorite block so far.  The mint green and pretty cursive writing is lovely.

These blocks are time consuming, but I do find that chain piecing, pressing the seams open and using lots of starch help to get those points set just right!  This one's a keeper..... just need to decide on a fabric for the back.  There are just too many pretty Day Sail fabrics to choose from.

Thanks for visiting my blog!  Can't believe it's August already....
(I'm linking up with CrazyMom Quilts finish it up Friday.)
