Hope your 4th of July was wonderful! I had time yesterday to work on some projects. The pretty blue birds are getting the finishing touch, and I am looking forward to seeing it all done! ;)
My last granny squares are complete! I think this is one of my favorite quilt patterns that I have done. I just love all the colors together!
And here are all 20 pretty grannies! Now, I just need to figure out where they will all go, and start cutting strips to put in between them. I already bought a vintage sheet for the backing, and I am planning on hand quilting it. So, hopefully it will not take too long to finish. ;)
Hope you are having a lovely day!!
Love!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! xo Heather
DeleteI am going to miss seeing these. Love seeing all the colors. Perfect use of scraps and the little piece of favorite fabrics. Smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee! I am going to miss making them! So quick and easy. Maybe a Christmas themed one would be cute! :) xo Heather
DeleteThe blocks are beautiful, Heather. What an heirloom you are creating...someday a member of your family will treasure it as if it were stitched in gold. And they will bless your name. Lovely! =D
ReplyDeleteThank you Shirley! Your so sweet, and I do hope it is treasured and loved one day, too!! xo Heather
DeleteWow. You've made such fantastic progress. Definitely a lifelong treasure. Have a beautiful weekend.
ReplyDeleteA lifelong treasure indeed! Thanks, and wishing you a beautiful weekend, too!! xo Heather
DeleteI just love your little birdy embroidery and the clips you used to put up your sweet quilting squares. I wish I knew how to quilt but the sewing gene skipped by generation much to my mama's chagrin! Blame it on the meanie home ec teachers! Hope you had a great 4th!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Angela! Oh, well I just learned about a year ago, and love it. You could still learn!! Hope your 4th was lovely! xo Heather
DeleteI have to say once again...I sure love the color combinations that you come up with. Your quilt will be just beautiful. Looking forward to seeing what you choose for the strips.
ReplyDeleteMake sure to stop over at my place, I have something for you. xo
Thank you Sherri! Your so sweet! You know I was contemplating color, but then maybe just white. We'll see! So excited about the baking book! ;) I have just started a collection, so this is perfect! Thanks for being so generous! xo Heather
DeleteAwe the quilt is so pretty. Good, hard work. Wonderful for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mary!! xo Heather
Deletehey Heather, i L - O - V - E the color of that yarn! Check out my post tomorrow for the update of my 4th of July. It was all good. (hug)
ReplyDeleteThanks Renae! It is such a pretty color! Will be heading over! ;) xo Heather
DeleteBeautiful. I think the colors are perfect together!
ReplyDeleteSherrie
Thank you Sherrie!! Have a lovely night! xo Heather
DeleteHand quilting it - yikes. That would be the un-doing of me for sure. You go, brave girl!!
ReplyDeleteI know, crazy, right? Well, I will be only hand quilting the top, and the rest will be machine because of the size. I admire women who did everything by hand! ;) xo Heather
DeleteI am looking forward to seeing your blue bird. Your quilt is beautiful. Love all the colors too.

ReplyDeleteThank you Karen! It did feel good to see them all together! Looking forward to the finished quilt! ;) xo Heather
DeleteI am really loving that crochet edging. Do you have a pattern for it? I would love to make that for gifts.
ReplyDeleteHi Kay! Thank you! The pattern is from a book of crocheted edgings I have. But, if you type in scalloped crocheted edging there are a few tutorials online. Wishing you a beautiful weekend! xo Heather
DeleteWill there ever come a day when I WON'T love one of your projects? I seriously doubt it. These are so sweet and I love all the fabrics. See - I said I loved it again. I'm going to have to work on a new verb for what I think of all your sweet and cottagey projects.
ReplyDeleteOh Janelle, you are way to sweet, and you always put a smile on my face! Wishing you a creative and crafty weekend! xo Heather
DeleteAhhhh, it came together just great Heather! You should be so proud! I'm assuming it's something that you are going to keep in the family, and hand down. I hope so. It's perfect for a family heirloom! So special! :)
ReplyDeleteErica
Thank you Erica! It feels good to have them all done! It will stay in the family, and be treasured and used! Thanks, you're so sweet! Hope you have a lovely and fun weekend! xo Heather

DeleteHeather...
ReplyDeleteyet again, you impress me with your talents!
Love those quilt squares. Reminds me of all the quilts that my sweet grandma would make for us kids. I still have a few of her quilts.
The fabric that she used was a lot of times from things she had on hand... old aprons, dresses that were wore out, etc.
Precious.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Smiles :)
