Link a Finish Friday #79

Today is starting with Quilt #5 from the stash by my wife Tanya.  She is trying to get rid of some of the back log of flannel we bought on sale before Christmas last year and over the last week and half I have been cutting and she has been sewing.  I know that so far there are at least 9 quilts made from them.  

It is now time for Link A Finish Friday.  Today I would like to start with a big thank you to Fat Quarter Shop who has offered to Sponsor our Link A Finish Friday with Prizes.  This month's winner (August) will win a $15 gift certificate to spend at Fat Quarter Shop.

Baby Granny Square #1 with Butterfly Back

The first of several granny square baby quilts is done.

It was echo quilted around the sashings.  It was stitched in the ditch around the colored blocks for a fun texture. 

The back of the quilt has a fun butterfly fabric that matches each of the colors of blocks from the front.

This has been added to our Etsy Store.

This one Turned Out Much Better and a Winner

We like how this quilt turned out a lot better than the first version we did.

We used a  Dark Cotton Shade Roli Poli by Riley Blake and 2 1/2 inch strips of Kona White.

We followed the suggestion of one of our followers Gene Black and Richard quilted it in a circular pattern.

We used a gray fabric from Shades Line by Riley Blake for the back.

We used the same gray fabric for the binding.

Overall it  turned out pretty cute and will be added to our Etsy shop.

The winner of our giveaway is 119.  She has been emailed.

Looking Guilty

 This post by Tanya.  Julia likes go climb up a chair and likes to play with Daddy's toys.  Admiring a quilt, then checking out his extension table.

She was putting empty spools of thread on top of machine.  I turned around to finish my project.

Adjusting his tension knob, Rebecca took that picture. I never noticed that.    

The back of quilt after said adjustment, by little helper.  At least it was easy to remove. Julia is such a little busy body, into and on top of everything.  Yes, I did remove it for him. 

Rag Quilt #5 from Stash

 This rag quilt has two purple flannels on frount and three appliqued butterflies.

I used my embroidery machine for butterflies and then appliqued a very raggedy edge butterfly on the quilt.  I think this one turned out super cute.
