I talked a little bit about what I worked on during Friday Night Sew-In in my Favourite Things Friday post. I started FNSI as soon as I got home from work yesterday afternoon.

I took a little break, had dinner with Mr. Bug and then got back to work. I pulled out a quilt top I've had finished since last July. It is made from the same fabric line as the Cozy Posies quilt {and Baby Frolic}, and it was so much fun to make. When Frolic came out last spring, I absolutely fell in love with it.

I love cross-hatching type quilting. It's looking great!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting on this one Elizabeth. It looks fantastic. My you've been on fire lately with your quilting!

Really, really cute!

ReplyDeleteI love your stripes binding. Do you always cut your binding on the bias? How important is it really?
You made a lot of progress on quilting that quilt for FNSI. I'm liking the diagonal quilt lines.
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe all that you get done and in such beautiful fashion!
