A Charming Kate Spain Lattice Quilt

Oh, what a wonderful swap this was to be involved in.  Thank You to Miss Midge for organising this and for giving us the chance to win more lovelies like this by linking with you.

I was so excited to receive my charms in the post and I then decided after watching a Missouri Quilt Tutorial on the Lattice Quilt what I would do.  I did change the size of my lattice to what was given in this tutorial

These are some of the fabrics 

 I then decided that I needed a few more charms to make this quilt as big as I needed so I went into my stash and added a few more of the Kate Spain Fabric and I also added a few more charms which went in well with the fabrics.  This is mainly all Kate's fabrics.  I decided to use white Emma Louise for the Lattice and most of the border.

Changed to Black and White for Value Test

Mock up of the borders

I am waiting of another pack of Daydreams charms and Daydream Memory ink for Binding.  I just love how this is coming to life.

I am planning on using this lovely Aurifil to create a beautiful cable in the lattice and cross stitch with a neutral in the squares.  This will all be hand quilted in No 12wt

Thanks for the opportunity to do this swap and for following the development of this quilt.

Until Next time enjoy your quilting adventures

Delightful stars quilt along catchup

Just thought I would give you an update, I have been behind on my delightful stars quilt along blocks.  So this last week I have spent more time on them.  I am really pleased how this quilt is coming together as you can see from my mock up.  

I am using an app Sketch Memo lite to do the mock up.  I take photos of my completed blocks and then layer them onto a template in the position they should be.  I then get to look at it easily and it is quite fun doing this.

Here are the blocks I have managed to complete this week, I have managed a few more as well.

Now that all of my blocks are done and I am waiting on the next block instructions I am going to start on the borders.  We have the details of them and tonight I have started cutting.  I am hoping that by the time next weeks lesson is here I will have all of my borders complete so that I will almost be able to start piecing all of the top together.  

I am very excited to be this close to having this top complete.  I will also have two or three other tops complete by the end of next week which I have been working on.

On a great positive today my Facebook page reached over 200 likes.  If you haven't been and liked it please come over and check it out here

I will be running a little competition between here and the Facebook page next week for this little celebration and who knows it may have grown even more by then.

Until next time, enjoy life and hug your family and friends!
