Fun With Squares


Great day to have some fun with two inch squares!  Had to be Fall colors with light blue background!



Make a few half square triangle pieces and combine with the other squares and it makes this block.   The red thread is not an addition but always tons of loose threads in my sewing room.





Add some zig zag lines, a bit of quilting and look what happens.





Happy Day Sewing!

Altogether Spooky Is Completed

The Fort Worth Mystery Quilt is complete except for the label.  Took a while to quilt...Ruler work and free motion quilting was done on my Baby Lock Cresendo.  Using a ruler, moving the quilt and watching what is happening is a challenge.  I'll need more practice.  Here are the photos I promised.





The back and the binding were great fun to choose.  Different than my usual back but fun!



Most of all I just love the border and the binding together.  They are totally my favorite!



This was a great project and I attempted a few new free motion quilting ideas.  


This quilt definately not done by a computerize long arm.  This quilt is all me:  choosing the fabric, cutting and constructing the top, free motion quilting and binding.  
 It will have a new home soon, 
I hope I get photos of the new owners!

Altogether Spooky Top Complete

Completed the Altogether Spooky Mystery Quilt today!  Love the colors and the completed top!




The candy corn border was just what I needed to frame this top!  I'm pleased with the outcome and can't wait to begin free motion quilting!  Not revealing the backing and the binding until the quilting is complete.  You will love it!
