D gave me this nativity scene panel and told me to please add borders and quilt the picture.
So I added a 3.5" rich gold fabric all along it . . . .
. . . . a cream tone-on-tone backing fabric and returned to the gold fabric for binding.
She also wanted sleeves at the back (one on top and one at the bottom) so that she can hang this lovely wall hanging in her home.
Serene. Simple. Beautiful.
Front View . . .
Right View . . .
She's only 2 months old and already a 'princess'.
Got a friend to make up some baby cupcakes . . . .
. . . . and of course, a little basket of goodies from me.
I've done this before - remember? I love putting these squares together.
Instead of shocking pink as 1st border (like I did before), I went for a 2.5" solid white. Then, finished off with a 5" lovely pink patterned fabric I came across recently.
Here's how the quilted back looks like.
Pale pink tiny dots was backing fabric and went for yet another shade of pink-mauve marbled fabric for binding.
Nice & Simple.
Remember the gorgeous-absolute-must-have Cat Panel?? I've done it and its LONG and BIG! Very nearly covers a single bed. N wanted me to tone it down a notch as the cats are already colourful & loud, so I've put a lite pink/mauve on the inside.
For the 1st border, I've put a 2" strip of colourful cat heads fabric (had it in my stash!) and finished it off with a 5.5" lite purplish-pink polkadot fabric.
Backing fabric was white background with purple & lilac flowers and binding is back to the cat heads.
Love how it turned out . . . and my girls are fighting for it. Hope you like it too N!
Haven't done anything in purple and I'm itching to try. Cannot think of a pattern though? Any ideas anyone? . . . . .
Been cutting and sewing and finishing up some long over-due work. Sorting out my organized chaos too. Fabric and mess everywhere I tell you! - LOL!
. . . . here are some blocks for an "I Spy Quilt" 
. . . . a "Sail boat quilt" Dear ALL,
Yes! Another easy-to-whip-up project. Playing with only 2 IKEA fabrics (just like the 'Fun & Bright' quilt). Cut the car fabric into 5" squares and put a 2" green/blue striped fabric as sashing and all around border.
Even had enough left over fabric for a pillow.
Bluish polkadot fabric for backing and binding was a green polkadot - just PERFECT!
All done & lookin' good :-)
Remember this panel? I cut up the blocks and put them together, resulting in a square-ish quilt some time ago. Decided NOT to cut this time . . . .
. . . . left the panel as it is and added 4 different borders.
Started with the 2" solid pale-pink fabric, then came the 3" green polkadot fabric, next was the 1.5" pale pink print fabric and finished it off with a 5" pink striped fabric.
Backing fabric was just perfect! and binding is the same solid pale-pink fabric.
Long and nice!
Its done! My 1st 9-patch block quilt. The block itself measured 4", so the squares are only 1.5" - tiny for my standards - LOL!
Simply added a 2" solid white as sashing and all around 1st border. Finished it off with strips and strips of colourful scraps measuring 2" x 5".
I love my backing fabric - what more can I say (he!he!he!) and binding fabric was a marbled reddish-maroon.
Like it ?
Not bad huh ! LOL.
Found this lovely quilt book and if you look closely, it costs only RM19.90. What a find!!
. . . . and here's what's inside. Cannot wait to get started on a few of them soon!
Name : 'Bobbie'
Name : 'Kylie'
I simply love this one! Just 5" squares picked at random and stitched together.
Ok, it also had a tiny purple line just before the last line of squares. Just because - LOL!
Something lite for backing fabric and binding is yummy-licious purple polkadot!
Can't go wrong when you go traditional ;-) LOVE IT !
Had this (full) pink roses fabric which I cut into 4.5" squares, next I put a 2" algae green fabric as sashing and finally at all four corners, was a 2" square bold shocking pink. Good to go!
First border was a 1.5" shocking pink strip, and I finished off with yet another 5.5" (sparse) pink roses fabric as last border.
Backing fabric was white with small pink flowers and binding was the same shocking pink at all four corners & 1st border.
Not bad!
