TGIFF - Happy August!

I finished this one on Tuesday night... just in time!

You may remember cupcakes and July.  They are all patterns from this book:

So that's my finish for this week.  I am linking up to TGIFF over at Missy Mac Creations.  She made the cutest little ticker tape quilt... definitely a project I want to make some day!

Really Random Thursday - 8/2/2012

Cindy over at Live a Colorful Life started Really Random Thursdays.  

My blog is all about my quilting but I thought it might be fun to post some photos of other random things going on in my life.

So here is what I have been looking at every morning this week.

What have you been up to?

WIP Wednesday

We are having so much fun watching the olympics!  My 6 year old is really interested and as a budding gymnast, has a million questions about what's going on.  My favorite being: "When will you register me for the Olympics?"  Ah, to be young and have dreams...

I am surprised at how much sewing I am getting done even while watching the Games.

I finally finished this top on Monday.  It is now gone to my mom's to be quilted.

On Friday I showed you this quilt:

and told you I was now working on a matching one.

Here is the progress I have made so far.

Theses 4 blocks have been pieced:

These are laid out on my design wall, ready to be pieced:

And here is the stack that is still waiting:

This is the pattern I am using.  I have used it before here.  This time I am making 30 blocks so that the quilt will be a little bigger.

Hope you are getting some quilting done!

Color My World Pink!

This month's color for the Color My World Challenge was pink.

I love pink!  I like it even more since giving birth to my two girls.

I was really looking forward to this month, mainly because I love playing with pink fabrics!

So here is my pink star and I am so happy with it!

I had so much fun with this star and I even finished it a week and a half ago, that's a record!

If you want to see what others have done with this great color head on over to Quilt Matters

Next month the color is white!  I am glad this month was easy because I am already stressing out over August's block!

TGIFF and another start!

I finished the binding on this guy this week:

I love these fabrics!  They are so bright and cheery!

I told you about this quilt here a couple of weeks ago.  Well, I managed to sell it and it will be the perfect playmat for a little baby girl due at the end of August.

I was also asked to make a bigger one in the same fabrics for her crib/toddler bed.  So here are the beginnings of another baby quilt!

I am also putting borders on this quilt:

Hoping to get this one done soon... the baby is already 4 months old!
