QR Codes is Quilted

......and the Neighborhood quilt is getting bound.  After my Fiber Group, I came home and watched some nature photograph show about catching anteaters in Brazil.  It took about two hours to get The Neighborhood just over half done.  You have seen this guy before.

 What?

Aught!  I have no idea where the rest of the post went to..... I was titillating and  brilliant and amazing.

OK, let's try this again.

The Neighborhood binding is about 1/2 way complete.   I forgot how cute this quilt is.  I wanted to take a traditional pattern and modern it up a bit.

The houses are all solids and the black windows are just stitched on with the edges that will fray.  It was a fun quilt.  I had a picture in a book about quilting so I had to "design" the houses myself.  The various houses were created by drawing (mentally) a grid over the block.  I then decided where the half square triangles would go and what could be rectangles or squares. 

It was fun putting it together!

QR Codes was quilted yesterday using a small, close, fanciful meander.  I used a shiny peachy poly blend to quilt it.  The advantage of that thread is that it gives if a sheen but is not overpowering to the pattern of the quilt. 


I can't remember what else I put in the post.  It was good though, I remember that.....

Stash Report - I Actually HAVE One!

I have been furiously working on my River City Guild Challenge.  The WINNING quilt is  hanging on my design wall.  the Challenge is to use a single block and create a secondary pattern.  You can change colors, size, whatever, but it has to be only one block and the same block.

But I can't show that one and i won't claim the fabric till after the meeting so you won't be stealing my idea.........

But I can claim the Criss Cross Quilt which is now, thanks to my Quilting Posse, called QR Codes.  It is the perfect name for it.  I is just the top, I still need to choose the backing.  And get the Doilies done for Caitlynne.  And figure out which one will go to Malaki. 

And once Paula saw it she was all over the fabric since it was Liberty of London.  Most of that group of fabrics came from a fabric swap several years ago with Trudy in England.  And I had no idea!

I just knew they looked fabulous together!

And I am only up 16 yards now......
