Zig Zag Folksy Flannel Quilt Top

Untitled
I started working on these Anna Maria Horner Folksy Flannel zig zag flannel quilts last summer!  Agh!

I can't believe how quickly this top came together on my Juki.  Kind of makes me feel silly for not working on this earlier.  I am just going to add a flannel backing and maybe do a foldover binding...really simple which will be perfect for the girls!

I've been feeling very poorly all week so I haven't done much else.  But, it makes me happy to see this top put together and looking so comfy even through photos!

Finish-A-Long 2013 Q1

she can quilt

Alright.  I'm doing it.  Clearly I need to...I'm joining the FAL being hosted this year by one of my favorite virtual people ever, Leanne from She Can Quilt.
[I must also give kudos to Lucy and Helen whose posts about the FAL furthered my resolve to join...]

When I lamented that taking a pic of my projects to be completed was my first barrier in this process Leanne was kind enough to email me and say just take a picture with your phone!  Damn, that woman knows how to get me going.  So, haha, I did.

Now I usually bite off more than I can chew.  However, I am going to make a goal that I think I can very reasonably reach in the hopes that it will only serve to help me going for Q2!  Good strategy right?

To Be Finished #1: ZigZag Quilt

Yeah yeah, please ignore all the stuff around the zig zag.

In my defense when I unpacked my sewing stuff after the move this was the first UFO I put up after hanging my design wall.  So...clearly my subconscious is screaming "get a move on chica!"  After all, this flannel quilt won't be all that in the summer months...


To Be Finished #2: Rainbow Quilt

I have the backing...I have the binding...I have the batting.

Then we moved.

Miss E's birthday is this month so I'd really like to get this one done first.  I am thinking straight lined quilting within the rainbow square and perhaps diagonal quilting on the white?  As usual I am probably taking on too much...I'll start with the straight lines and go from there!!!

Alright.  Wish me luck.  Send me lots of "atta boys"!!!  I'll get my girls on it too...  Oh and go visit the 2013 FAL Link Up - lots of amazing stuff happening!

WIP Wednesday

The other day I mentioned that I was determined to get a head start on Christmas presents.  Lo and behold - I actually started on one of the girls' zig zag quilts!  I began with the Ophelia colorway...

One excellent nap by three amazing daughters allowed me to make this pile of AMH flannels...

and just as I was doing this laborious pinning...a baby cried...haha saved by the baby...

Fortunately, when they slept later that night I was able to finish up preparations and do this...

I'm already dreaming up what I am going to do with the scraps!

Selvage Brainstorm

Linking up to WIP Wednesday.  How about you...what are you up to these days?
