Mission to Mars

Finished my first fall quilt!  Turned out really nice, I'm so excited for it to find a new home.  This quilt would be perfect for a little boys room.  Come to think about it, if it doesn't find a nice new home maybe I'll just redecorate my little guys room!

Summer is drawing to an end...

The days are getting shorter, and the sun a little less intense.  In short the ATL is cooling off a bit so I think it's time to get back into quilting.  Over the summer I completed one major project for a baby a friend of mine is having.  It was a postage stamp quilt!  It turned out awesome but in my haste to have it ready for the baby shower I neglected to take pictures.  Thankfully, someone else did and here it is:

The border is princesses and castles and goes all the way around the quilt.  The thing was I used Minky on the back.  It looked awesome and will be so soft and snugly for the baby, but I had to wash all the sweat out of it when I was done!  Working with that quilt in June in Atlanta was not a good idea.  Good thing the baby won't come until fall because that quilt is going to keep her WARM!  After creating that I did a couple projects around the house, not much of anything and dreamed of the temperature dropping so I could stand to quilt again.  Well, it finally has and man, have I an awesome quilt in the works!
