Wordless Wednesday-Quilty Planning Goodness
Please note: These are not quilts I have made, simply quilt ideas I’ve saved for inspiration.




Froggy Went A Courtin' AKA What I Do To Relax
Lizzy picked out some quilt fabric over Thanksgiving and I started her quilt. Got the top put together really quickly but then had to put it aside for several months. Last week I was determined to make time to do something I enjoyed so I got it back out. Put it together, quilted it, put the binding on and it was all finished this Wednesday. I present to you “Froggy Went A Courtin’”. Yes, I name the quilts. I’m a dork. I’m okay with it.

Lizzy's Quilt - Froggy Went A Courtin'
Lizzy picked out the froggy fabric and I found some coordinating fabrics for her to choose her four favorites. I think she did a great job with her choices. She definitely has an eye for color and loves the bright prints. I love it as well. This quilt makes me smile.
This was my first attempt at free motion quilting and it turned out fairly well. Only some “bird nesty” spots on the back but I’m learning as I go. This technique gives it a whimsical and light feeling which I love.

This was also my first attempt at piecing together a binding from several different fabrics. I LOVE the way this turned out. Next time I’d like to use smaller sections of the fabrics to get a more varied selection.
How many times have I said I love this quilt???
