I picked up my new machine just in time to do a quick quilt to take to Charleston this weekend.
I picked up some fat quarters at AQS on Saturday, when I picked up my machine. I had the yellow and white left over. So I wanted something quick and decided on Bijou Lovely Color Block pattern, I used this pattern for my first and second quilts.
Spent Sunday cutting and piecing.
Spent Monday quilting, straight line 1/2″ apart.
Tuesday did the binding and washed. Here is the finish.
I decided to get some labels and start labeling my quilts. Once I decided that I wanted to label my quilts I knew I needed a name. So I looked at my daily shadow and thought Cocoa Quilts. So here is Cocoa, she is a senior, 14 years old in November, Hungarian Vizsla. Now that I have started to use Cocoa Quilts, I need to figure out how to change my blog name. That is for another day.
I ordered labels from lillalotta she was very helpful and quick. Although she is in the Netherlands, I received them in less than a week.
I had several quilts and labeled the all. Here they are in a fun pile.
Four of them are headed with me to Charleston, SC this weekend.
Quilt #5 is going to my Aunt for her 90th Birthday.
Quilt #10 is going to my sister.
Quilt #16 is going to my niece
Quilt #18 is going to another niece as she graduates as a Physician Assistant.
It will be a great weekend. Hubby and I are flying out Friday morning and won’t be back until Wednesday next week.
Congrats on the finish! I love the simple design of this quilt. The skinny sashing highlights the colors so well!
Thanks Jayne this is one of my favorite patterns. And I am a sashing girl, love how it frames each color.
I love that quilt! It looks so simple, yet pulls together so well. Very pretty!
It is fun seeing all of your newly labeled quilts in a pile. I just ordered labels for myself as well and I can't wait to start using them.
Jen thanks, you will love adding labels, it is just the icing on the quilt cake.
Beautiful quilt and quilting. I love those colors. Oh, and your link for your labels directs to an error page. Here is the correct link to Lilllotta's shoppe: https://www.etsy.com/shop/lillalotta?ref=listing-shop2-all-items-count#items
Thanks Danice. I updated the link.
All I can say is WOW, that's production…and such a lovely result!
Thanks for stopping Kathi! It was quick and fun.
What pretty and bright colors! The design truly highlights the fabric! Congratulations on your great finish!
Thanks Mia. The colors were easy pick fabrics at the local quilt show and came together fast.
