Urban Indigo 2007

 When I was moving my sewing room upstairs I came across projects that had been tucked in boxes and in the back of shelves - that needed to be moved out.

I figure if I make them up then that will mean my sewing space will slowly become less crowded.

I finished the first top today.'


The first one was this cute quilt made out of an Urban Indigo jelly roll from Fig Tree Quilts.  I also had the sashing and border fabric to go with it.  It went together pretty fast.  The unique border was fun but it's certainly not perfect.  

I need to piece the backing, buy some batting, and give it to a donation place for quilting.  


It is a blustery day today as you can tell.

One down at least. . .  and I've already decided on the next one. . . a kit from American Jane that my sister gave me years ago.

Oh, this is a fresh and pretty finish, Robin. A very nice donation quilt.
I look forward to seeing the next project.
I am hoping to clear some space in my sewing room this year with more finishes, too. Now if I could just quit signing up for more SALs!!

That will be a pretty donation quilt for someone needing a comforting hug and bit of warmth.

One down and it's lovely. The unusual border really adds something special. What a beautiful blustery but sunny day too!

The colors in this quilt are so spring-like and inviting, sunny, even. The colors and tones are so beautiful together and the pattern is perfect. Congrats on such a speedy finish! Will you quilt it by hand?

Nancy is right - the colours are perfect for this time of year. Congratulations on tackling your backlog - hopefully it won't be long before you will start to feel the benefits.

Yesss! It feels so good to finish up the languishing projects. This one turned out very sweet.:)

I was trying to find a recipe for gingerbread boys in my grandmother's old Betty Crocker cook book from the late 40's early 50's...
