Started my Minis and More project yesterday. Sherri, @aquiltinglife and Michele, @michele_likes_to_quilt chose “use a jelly roll” as our theme this month. I don’t do much with them and only had two, both from a #sewsamplerbox. I was about to give the #tulapinkpinkerville one away when I decided to use it. I hope to get a scaled down version of @christaquilts #dotndashquilt top finished my the end of the month. I’ll be using two pieces of #bellasolids from the sew sampler boxes for the background. I’m really trying to use the fabric from those boxes! #freespiritfabrics #modafabrics #minisandmoreparade #jellyrollquiltI had a finish this week! This is my version of Apple Crisp from the May #sewsamplerbox. I converted the 14” blocks to 6” blocks so the quilt finishes at 24 1/4” square. I also added the right and left sides to match the top and bottom. .. The fabric is @lellaboutique #orchardfabric from the box except the background and binding. Still Orchard, but I found it at my LQS. .. I free motion quilted it on my #pfaffqe4 using #aurifilthread in 2000, 2800, and the light blue 2805 (that also came in a sew sampler box). The 2805 did a good job in the navy and red. .. I love this little quilt and will enjoy displaying it in the spring and summer. #applecrispquilt #showmethemoda #modafabrics #freemotionquilting #freemotionquiltingonadomestic #pfaff #miniquilt @fatquartershop #fatquartershopNeed some advice. Do I go with the white or black background? I’m taking a FPP workshop with @nancymahoney next week and making the #wildwavesquilt table runner (last picture). I was going with the black, but maybe the colors pop more on the white? .. If you are in the Atlanta area, Nancy will be doing two workshops with our guild on Sunday September 15 and Monday September 16. There are still a few spaces available. Go to the Silver Comet Stitchers website at https://silvercometstitchersguild.com/ for all the details. #silvercometstitchers @silvercometstitchers #foundationpaperpiecing #fpp #quiltworkshop #showmethemoda #modafabrics #willmingtonfabricFinally getting in some #freemotionquilting this weekend on my #pfaffqe4 with 50 wt #aurifilthread. Working on #applecrispquilt from the #sewsamplerbox. #modafabrics #orchardfabric #showmethemoda #freemotionquiltingonadomestic #pfaffFollow on Pinterest
