Chevron Top

 The best way to spend Thanksgiving is sewing ;) Last week we scored these pre-Black Friday fabrics for 50% off the original price! Christmas came early this year :)

A few months back we pinned this quilt on Pinterest and last night we finished sewing all 15 blocks. It's the quickest quilt we've made in a while.

We love the jumbo sized blocks. Bigger is better. Especially chevron blocks made with chevron fabric.

The finished quilt top is roughly 36" x 40" which is perfect for a baby. Now to choose between sewing some more, or eating some more pie ;) Decisions. Decisions.

Ragged

Scrappy, ragged, raw edge goodness. That's a tall order. But not too tough...

Rag quilts are super easy to piece together, but it's cutting all those pesky seams that can drive you crazy.

We made this rag quilt to use up fabric scraps and batting scraps. But, we'd take a "true" quilt over a rag quilt (just about) any day. Hands down.

Shipping, Cutting, Fixing

  Shipping, cutting, fixing craziness over here. Pretty much sums it up.

 

*The Gingham Christmas quilt was shipped*

*A new quilt was cut*

 *Aaaaaaaaaand.... our sewing machines have been in time-out all week*

Pretty lame week as far as quilting goes. The machines are fixed now (as of 5 minutes ago)...so we should jump on our chance to use them :)

Dilly Dally

 

We figured you wouldn't mind having two blog posts in one week. It is a little bit of a shocker, we know. But... it's the newest addition to our shop. What are we supposed to do? ;)

The pattern is Dilly Dally by Thimble Blossoms. We opted out of the border and made the blocks a little smaller in order to use the fabric we had on hand.

 

 

 Dogwood Machine Quilting? Count us in! Not only does it look professional, but it is easy. (Shh! Don't tell anyone.)

 The colors go well together: blues and greens with a smattering of red.
