Finish It Up Friday...Marigold and Gray Wedding Treasure

I finished!  This was such a fun project!
A little more on this quilt here.
I did mostly echo quilting on this one, and a star in the signed blocks.
It is hard to see, even in person, but I did diamonds in the border, big then small all the way around.
My backings are getting a lot better.  This one is actually straight with the edge of the quilt!!  And I didn't even try to get those stars right in the center of the gray!  Hurray!
I machine bound it in one of the grays.
This is a king size.
Shipped off to its new home!

    I love visiting other people's blogs because what you see there can really change your mind .... I would have said that I don't really like yellow as a colour and wouldn't plan it is a main colour for a quilt .... and then I see this and have to rethink! This is really lovely. Congrats on the finish. You visited my blog today aswell but I can't reply because you are a no-reply blogger :(

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times...

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended...
