Little Joys Quilt Along #3

It is time to show you my latest finish. I have finished my Little Joys quilt. Fresh and zippy this quilt speak to me of Christmas in Summer. I played with my rulers again and I had a play with the small clamshell ruler, mainly because I was curious how it worked and it was the right size for my little border. You can just see it across the top of the quilt.
I used the stripe from the range to make the binding. Do you think I like stripe bindings or what? Second time this month I have used a stripe but they are my favourite going fabric for binding. If there is a stripe in the range I automatically get extra so I have enough for the binding.

Now I have completed all the binding, it is time to get back to  quilting, 2 more quilts to go. Luckily I left the Pfaff set up for quilting. Tomorrow I will pin my Inklingo star top and prepare a sample sandwich. I want to play with another ruler in the sampler set I got.

Until next time

Little Joys Quilt Along #1

Over at the Fat Quarter Shop they have been running the Little Joys Quilt Along during July. I have been sewing along using Riley Blake Designs Home for the holidays fabrics as it is on special in my shop. I am a little behind as today they released the finishing instructions. I made block one - Christmas tree x 3 a couple of weeks ago. Here is my blocks.

I cut the fabric for block 2 and 3 last night and I managed to sew block 2 the Wreath tonight.  Here they are.

So that leaves block 3 the Present to complete tomorrow I am thinking if things go to plan.
