Belated Post - Custom Quilt Completed

With the busy holidays I totally forgot to post up pictures of the custom quilt I made over the holidays.  I posted the progress a while back here, but here is the finished product :).

[Sorry in advance for the less-than-great pictures.  I took this right before I packaged it to be mailed out.  Since it was a rush delivery I didn't have time to get the lighting and everything just right.]

This one-of-a-kind quilt is twin size with blocks that were sent from the requester. It turned out just beautifully. 

I picked the colors for the sashing and borders to bring out some of the common colors in the quilt blocks that I was given.  The binding fabric was also supplied by the requester.

Due to the tight timeframe to complete this quilt, I stuck with a basic design for the quilt back.   For the quilting itself, I used a free-style meandering method that worked very well with the quilt.

I hope this is quilt is enjoyed for years to come :)

 

I'll be sharing this project [like all my projects] at these awesome linking parties :).

Happy NEW YEAR and Happy linking! :) 

Sorry for the short post but I'm still in catch-up mode this week.  Lots of projects to finish up and still one more holiday party to get ready for...and then onto boys' birthday parties early next month...and of course there this little cutie to drool over... ;) - TWO months old today and I love her to pieces.

Hopefully everyone out there is having a great 2013.

What I'm Sewing with This Week

This is a new 'series' I'm starting up and hopefully could keep up.  I get inquiries once in a while about some of the fabrics I use for my fabrics, so I thought it'll be cool to feature some of the fabrics I use :).   Like I said, hopefully I could keep up with this postings.  You all know I love fabrics ;)

So this week my plan is to sew a few pillows for my boys.  Their current [old] store brought pillows are getting a little rundown and quite frankly I have never liked them.  So this is the perfect opportunity to make them some pillows to match their new room decals they got for Christmas:

[picture from this cool Etsy shop we got the decal from]

I'm planning to use these prints - maybe 1 or 2 pillowcases each?

I found a few great tutorials online and had sewn pillowcases a few years back so I am ready to get sewing :).  I'm hoping to surprise the boys with their new bed additions.  Progress and pics to come soon!

Happy sewing this week everyone!
