Design Wall Monday

Project Linus Tigers

The tigers panel was won at the annual Quilt Guild Auction, along with several different safari prints.  Since I am making a boy's quilt, I added some gray plaid to the top & bottom to add some length.  The width is already 50" so I just need to add more borders, so the length can be 60".

Finished Quilt Top

The finished quilt top for Project Linus is (49 1/2)  inches square and I'm happy with how it turned out.

Design Wall Monday

Almost didn't make the post in time to qualify for Monday.  I see it is now 11:25 p.m.  Here is another Project Linus quilt for our area's upcoming Project Linus Day on May 18th.  In the picture, the dark rosy blocks look red.  I also took a picture of the fabric that inspired the quilt.

Design Wall Monday

Last Monday evening (4/22/13), I was trying to decide if I should add a piano key border.  Several quilters posted comments of encouragement, so with those comments, I was happy to pursue the piano key borders. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

Getting It Done-Shop Hop Blocks

Here are the final 3 blocks completed-Hooray!!  Now, I just need to decide on a setting, so I can complete the top.  I did go to a fabric sale at one of the shops and purchased 3 yards of black fabric to match the background fabric of all the blocks.

Getting It Done in April

This afternoon, I finished making my 9th block from our Shop Hop.  Here's a picture of the last 3 blocks I completed.  Just three more to go and then I will need to decide on a setting.  There were five (5) Quilt Shops that we visited and each one had created a different setting for the quilt.
