Big Flower Quilt.....Progress

 

Remember this Big Hexy Flower?

I chose these 4 lime green fabrics

for the background hexies...

I put the light green background hexies

up on the design wall with the BIG Flowers:

they look NEON green......eeek!

After looking at this on the design wall

for the last 2 months, I took them all down.

I found a richer, calmer green fabric

and wrapped it around the hexy papers:

Ahhh....much better.

There is a bed sheet under the hexagons.

They will be pinned onto the sheet.

Then I can keep them in order as I 

hand piece the hexagons.

This is a bed quilt and will finish 

102 inches square.

Lots of hand piecing for these cold winter nights.

Giddy Up.....Horse Quilt

 

Late last summer I purchased a horse panel...

I added a gold inner border

and a pieced brown outer border

I just finished the machine quilting

and trimmed the edges square...

Lots of fun quilting on the panel,

triangles quilted into the gold border,

feathers on the brown border...

This is a lap size quilt...

Horse Fabric on the Back Side...

Here it is all bound and

ready to wrap up and put under the tree:

" Giddy Up "

Vinyl Zip Cases...

 

Making a few more zip cases

for holiday gift giving...

I purchased the rose colored vinyl 

at Joann Fabrics

I squared off the bottom so the bags

will stand up...

I ran the self adhesive vinyl through the

Sizzix Big Shot Plus

to decorate the bags...

I also made a few more with clear vinyl.

Stuff them full of goodies

and give them to friends and family.

Happy Holidays!
