What? She quilts too??

Hehehe…

Yes, I do dabble in quilting. I haven’t truly sewn a quilt top in over 6 years but I thought it was time. I have been gathering books, patterns, fabrics for the last 6 months or so and it was time to sew something.

Last week I found a day to focus completely on getting a quilt top cut, pieced and sewn together.

Here it is!

(It is squared, I promise. The wind was just blowing the right side over ;o))

I used a Sweet Treat and their Walkin’ the Line pattern.

I am very, very pleased with how it turned out! Such a great, fun, easy, fast, beautiful quilt top!

The fabrics make me so happy!

I just have to put the 2 borders on, buy the backing & batting, quilt them together and do the binding. No prob, right? We’ll see just how long the rest takes me.

Here are the border fabrics.

THey are a little washed out in the photo, just believe me when I say that they match perfectly!!

Back with the center seam & 2 darts plus major shaping on the side seams, they were straight before

Front of dress after alterations. 4 darts on the front

Inside pocket, you can see I did a large pocket & the cell phone pocket. Down on the bottom of the bag you can see the needle cases sitting happily!

label on sides where handle meets bag (hopefully to hide the yucky seam that i am too lazy to redo, it’s a long sewing day)
