LUCY QUILT IS A FINISH and A NEW QUILT PROJECT

Hi

Sorry I have been MIA :-(

With this spring weather we have been having we have been busy tending to the gardens .

I do have good news to share with you ... I finished sewing the binding on my LUCY quilt last night !




Here is hubby hanging it from the front porch

Now to start a new project today... a baby quilt for my grandson who will be here July 8
The fabric I am using is  " IN THE OCEAN by RILEY BLAKE .


 I have my fabric layed out the way I like it so far..


My idea is to appliqué 2 whales in the white section in the middle of the quilt. I am going to make my 2 appliqué whales first to see how they look and see if I should maybe make the white center bigger then I will sew it together today. I have 8 white  5" squares so far when I decide on the size I want I plan on cutting 1 white piece of fabric and not use the squares .
I would like it to look like the whales are swimming across the middle of the quilt :-D




These are the Whale  appliqués I am using and  the fabrics I have chosen to use .



This cute whale fabric is what I am going to use for the backing .


This is going to be a fun quilt to make...

Happy Sewing !!!!

Sue

  1. The colors and shape of the whales will make a good little boy quilt. I bet your family is excited to be getting a new baby to love on.
