Finished it up Friday...Hurray for Rainbows, Baby!

I made this quilt top back in 2014. My post about it here.
 It has been sitting in a cute little basket waiting with its backing fabric since then, through my move and all.
I decided it was time! Do I picked out these fun threads and went to town!

 I have only tried the all over squiggly lines on a small table runner and decided to try it again. It wasn't too daunting since I only did a section of color at a time.
 How fun is this little guy!?
The back is a flannel fabric leftover from some t-shirt quilts I made several years ago.
 I had a bit of trouble with the quilting. When I went a certain direction too quickly it would break my thread. I am not picky about threads and I am using a free motion foot on my treadle...not too surprised that I had some kind of problem.


 I chose a black and white fabric to frame it out as a binding. Not sure where this one will end up yet!
Final measurements are 32 x 42in.

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...
