Second... I have received several emails from people this week that have made stuff from my tutorials here or on Moda bake shop, if you have and have photos, or put them up on your blog can you email me or post a comment? I'd love to do a post soon featuring your photos or link to your blog posts...
Third... Don't forget to enter the giveaway for the "Got Candy?" banner... honestly, I am totally overwhelmed by the response to this, I didn't think anyone would want it... I SO wish I had time to make 20 more this week, especially for all of "moved away" friends who left kind comments, oh how I miss all of you!!! and everyone, THANK you for all the nice comments, I was just expecting "me to please"... you guys are seriously waaaay to nice! (or resorting to total bribery *wink*) Random drawing will be Wed. morning, giveaway closes Tues. at midnight.
Fourth... I finally got a quilt finished and ready to send to a quilter this week. I got the idea for this quilt when I was on vacation in Utah this summer. Then sewed a little bit all summer I even took it to Charleston with me and worked on it during a thunderstorm.
My daughter needed something "jazzier" on the bed in her room. (photos here) I picked up a few fabrics at the quilt shop in SLC, then ordered some online when I got home. They are just 9" blocks... I decided to do a row of each color theme, starting with pink in the middle and mirroring out each way, row of black, row of blue.. I just wish I could have found more fabric prints in that blue color.. I'm excited to get it back from the quilter... I'm thinking just a stipple in white thread but open to suggestions....

It's a Queen size quilt---- I need to get going on the pillow shams while it's at the quilter...
So what do you think about the quilting??? Tight stipple in white thread? Like I said, I'm open to suggestions!
I know it's not 100% done, but I'm linking it up to Park City girls quilt festival.. over 300 quilts linked so far... if you want some good eye candy today go check it out..

What a fun quilt. I bet it will look great on her bed!
This quilt is sooo amazing! I LOVE the colors. This would be so perfect for my daughter's room!
That is so pretty! And it will be perfect in Kari's room. I think the white thread would be great. You can also see what kind of variegated thread they have when you take it in. Those always look cool and they usually have a ton of choices. I have had 2 of my quilts done with variegated thread matching the colors in the quilt and have been very happy with the outcome. Good job! I am looking forward to doing one for Nora Kate's room when Sandi's new line comes available. Supposed to be in November I think!! I am trying to decide now what I want to do.
That quilt is awesome! (so is the photo of it!)
Such fun patterned fabric.
Great Quilt! I love your fabrics.
Great colors; my daughter used these colors in her wedding last year. It was fabulous! btw, I am now a big fan of yours and I'm working on the 12 Days of Thanksgiving Wallhanging this week. I'll post pictures and send you the link. :) Cheers!
I love the quilt,is it expensive to send one to a quilter?
What a fantastic quilt. The fabrics look wonderful and that room looks adorable. Glad you shared!
Looks great! I think white thread would be perfect.
It is beautiful!
Who wouldn't want that quilt in her room? It looks good enough to eat...ah, yes Good & Plenty!! So pretty.
Love it! I am curious too. Sending it to the quilter? Is that expensive? How long usually? I can't wait to see it on her bed :O)
This is such a sassy quilt - the colours are awesome!
I am not nearly is creative as you, but one quilting alternative that I have used before on my kids quilts is taking multiple strands of embroidery thread in coordinating colors and stitch it once through in each corner the squares, tie it in a knot on top and cut excess to about half inch. It leaves the wonderful little coordinating tassels all over the surface of the quilt. Very fun patterns. Love your work!
