From This to That....

I would love to share a finished project with you in pictures from this to that....
I would also love to say "Thank You" to Helen Philips  for being a constant source of inspiration to me and no doubt countless others. If You have not been to her blog, please visit, she is amazing. 



The Start


Hunt and gather....






 

 Cut and piece.....


Baste and pin....



Big Stitch Quilting...


A Finish!  Too cold to take pictures outside today so here she is all fresh and cozy and warm from the dryer.



I love how she works with my hexie pillow!



A polka dot backing.


 Thank you for your visit. Have a wonderful week and I hope you get to do something you love.

  1. Oh I love, love, love that quilt! Dots are my all-time favorite and those red dots on the binding and back are perfect! Great job! How long did it take to do big stitch quilting? I've never tried that. Did you use a frame? How did you baste it? Sorry about all the questions! It looks great! XO

  6. Look at you and all this playing! Great quilt. I love it all red and white. And I love that big binding too. Biggish dots with all those square patches. Fab contrast and visual impact. Now I'm off to check out Helen's blog.

  8. Love the red and white quilt, and the extension of the backing to serve as the binding! My hands do not want to cooperate anymore, so hand stitching the binding is no longer an option for me. Really nasty weather coming in today, so be safe and stay in and play! lv2bquilting2@comcast.net
