Metropolitan Fair Mini Quilt

Leave a reply

My first quilt finish of 2019! I admit it’s been a slow start to the year. I have been working on projects, it’s just been difficult to acutally finish anything.

I decided to call this mini quilt Metropolitan Fair after the fabric line.

This was my first mini quilt and it was super fun to make! And it was made entirely from left over scraps of a previous quilt!

Overall, I am totally in love with this little guy! My plan is to make several mini quilts to hang on the wall in my entry way and also in my sewing room.

Happy Quilting! -Alison

Quilt Finish! (only 6 months late)

1 Reply

Yay!!  I finished my daughter’s quilt!  And it’s ONLY 6 months late.  Better late than never.  (I have another one for her I began about 4 years ago that is still not finished.)

I was supposed to have this quilt ready for her when she went to school in August.   Obviously, that didn’t happen.  But I’m sure she will be happy that she will get it now – just in time for the cold weather.  It is her school colors – Navy and Gold.   I’ve been debating on it’s name – School Colors or Blue&Gold.   Pretty inventive, huh?  I think I am going to go with Blue&Gold.

I didn’t use a pattern for this.  She had seen a picture of a quilt in a magazine and like it, so I had to “wing it.”  I hope it is the right size to fit her bed.  I think it may actually be a little big.  But I would rather it be too big than too small.

It just has straight “stitch in the ditch” quilting.  I tried to keep it simple so I could actually finish it in this century.

I am really happy with how it turned out.  I just hope she likes it!

Now, I have to wash it and then it is ready to be mailed!
