Moda Love Quilt...2

 

I have made 3 of these 

Moda Love Quilts...

46 x 46 inches

I just finished the machine quilting

and binding on this one...

You can make them with

Layer Cakes, 5 inch charm squares or

2.5 inch mini charm squares...

It is a wonderful way to work with

an entire line of fabric...

I have completed 3 of these quilts

and I am in the process of the 4th one...

We start our day on the calving grounds

checking on the mamas and new babies...

The Cowboy does his walk-through to check

and see who will be calving soon...

We have 6 calves on the ground so far...

This is my view out the side view mirror

each morning...

There is no other place I would rather be !

Moda Love Quilt....Machine Quilting

It is time to get this Moda Love quilt

under the needle... 

I am machine quilting on my

Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen...

My Big Girl machine !

This is a sit-down long arm machine...

Above the machine are dark blue clamps.

They hold the quilt up so there is no drag

while I am quilting.

You can see the blue clamps holding up the quilt.

These purple Gypsy Quilter hoops

help grip the fabric...

On the back side are the purple rubber grips...

they really work !

You hang on to the sides and move the

quilt in any direction while quilting.

I have had them for many years.

I feathered all of the triangles

and straight lines in the squares...

Swirls in the narrow inner border...

Scallop templates for the border quilting...

Handi Quilter Scallop Template

They come in all sizes and shapes...

Scallop quilting in the border...

A few hours later.....all done !

The edges are trimmed and squared up

and ready for a hanging sleeve and binding.

We woke up to a world of white today...

Feeding cattle in the snow...

After the cattle are fed,

the Cowboy walks through the herd

to check if any of the mama cows

are close to calving yet.

Moda Love Quilt...Table Mat

Last Spring I started making

Moda Love Quilts

from Charm Packs 

This one is made with a Mini Charm pack

and it is time to get it finished up...

It is all pieced and ready to be quilted...

The quilting is complete...

I love trimming off the rough edge.

I pawed through the fabric cupboards 

and found this 

green Grunge fabric for the binding...

Binding...

This will make someone a pretty table mat...

Moda Love Quilts...

I've been piecing Moda Love Quilts

 

This is the first Moda Love quilt top

I pieced with 5 inch charm squares...

I had another charm pack in the stash,

so I pieced another one...

I was not happy with this lay out...

I thought the inner star points should be red...

So, I ripped out the center of the quilt and

pieced red star points...

Much better with red star points

and the final red border treatment...

I found a mini 2.5 inch charm pack

in the stash...

You can see from the piece of paper,

that this will be a small quilt...

This star will finish about 15 inches square...

I am thinking a table topper.

That's as far as I got today...more to come !

The Peonies are really putting on a show...

The Peony blooms are gigantic this year !

This lime green hosta is also putting on a show...

Gigantic and beautiful lime green leaves !

The cattle are keeping us on our toes...

We have had a very dry spring 

here in Western Oregon

and moving the cattle to new pasture

is a steady job to keep them fed.

Next week we begin to make hay...

More to Come.

Happy Summer Everyone !
