She's Back!

 

Yep, I'm back being a quilter...well, for the time being!  HA  After I finished knitting my last top I needed something to work on!  I looked through some of my fabrics and found these blocks I stenciled a few years back! 

I had to finish quilting this one.  It felt so good to be quilting again!!!!

These were all the similar in width, but lengths were different, which was ok!

This one was also finished when I found it!

I had to quilt this one as well.  I'm not positive but I think I used either NeoColor crayons or Gelato's to stencil the leaves...I don't remember but it had to be one or the other.  DUH!

This was also quilted .  Next up I trimmed each block to

 8 1/2 width..then I squared the length to at least make even.  

One green block was about an inch longer from the other but I left it that way.  I thought it would look better than being so square!

 I then went in my stash hunting for some type of fabric to use for borders/strips.  I found this cool fabric my daughter gave me many, many years ago.  It's not quilting fabric..more like a light weight upholstery fabric.  But perfect for the borders.  So, next up was to QAYG (quilt as you go method) because blocks are already quilted!  

I use QAYG to make all the T-Shirt Quilts.  SOOOOO much easier than trying to quilt a huge quilt of T shirts.  

This fabric is wild but I love it!  

I just sewed the middle strip pieces on.  I'll finish quilting them later.  These strips finished at 2".

 Next, I have to sew in the center strip.  From there, I'll add the  borders, still using QAYG method but I'm going to make the borders larger...3-4 inches..depending on how much fabric I have left!   

It does feel SO good to be back quilting.  I think this will make a nice table topper for fall!  Now to make sure I don't start knitting before I finish this!  HA
