Wonder Why?

Last week I shared with you the progress on my tumbler quilt and I have to tell you.....everything got in the way of my finishing this quilt.  Yikes!  Quilting delays, binding delays, picture delays and even listing it for sale delays.  (Yes, I know...that's not a properly constructed sentence and my HS English teacher would be appalled, but this is "my blog, my keyboard, my post and I'll do it the way I want to do it, so there!".........she says, secretly smiling :) to herself). 


Wonder why life happens that way sometimes when all I want to do is sew/quilt??  My sewing room is called Judy's Sandbox and sometimes I refer to it as the Sewing Cave....but I  really love being in there.  Maybe too much.  

Okay....enough of my yakking about stuff no one wants to hear about.  It's time for the pictures of the tumbler quilt from Alex Anderson's fabric line called Elizabeth Ann by PandB Textiles.


This is made using the small tumbler GO die, and have to say......it was a lot of fun sorting the different fabrics, re-arranging the rows, etc.  I enjoyed it every step of the way.  Do you think that's why I spent so much time completing this one??   mmmmh??

Full view......and the wind was blowing this morning, and the colors look a bit washed out. 

Another view.........this time showing the backing fabric that matches the borders.

I always feel happy and relieved when I finish a quilt, but now I just want to GO to my Sandbox and start working on another one.  Wonder why most people think quilters are so obsessive??  mmmmh??

How about you?  Are you an obsessive quilter like me? 


Thanks for visiting.

I'm in Love!

A while back I shared with you the start of a new projct. 

Keep on turning that handle.......and look what you can do.

My small tumbler block GO die is getting a work out; and one and two and three.....keep counting.  I'm in Love with this die.

The fabrics are the ones I won here last year from P and B Textiles, Alex Anderson's Elizabeth Ann fabric line.  Soooooooooooo pretty!

Row, after row of small tumbler blocks; fast, easy and fun.  I love this GO die.

If you follow my blog, you know I love the "scrappy" look and using so many different colors/fabrics in my quilts.  It was fun to arrange and re-arrange the different colors and fabrics in the rows.

Naturally, I cut too many and have some leftover tumblers too.  Ahhhh! another project in the making. 

The lighting wasn't the best for this shot, but here it is before the borders were added.

Sandwiched and ready for the quilting.  I had to piece the backing using the fabrics from the two borders.

Quilting is next and I'll share the pictures with you when it's finished.   What?  You expected to see the finished quilt already??
