Window Flowers becomes more

So I got farther on the denim quilt then I thought I would this week. I have gotten all the many squares cut out and was able to lay them out on my kitchen floor so I could see what it looks like so far.

So it's not sewn or anything in this picture, but I think it looks pretty good so far. I also thought it was missing something so I decided that I will be placing 12 embroidered butterflies on random denim squares. The will be pink, blue, green, and gold/yellow.

So far I have the first three rows stitched together and  will be working more on it later tonight. I also have about half of the butterflies on. I think I'll be done with this a lot faster then I originally planned. Maybe by Sunday or Monday.

Though I won't be able to work on it tomorrow due to the fact I will be driving to Alabama to pick up Roger's siblings and to see his dad. We haven't seen him in almost two years so Roger is really excited. So I'm going to say I will be posting a new update by Friday or Saturday.

Now on a off topic.... I love the Quilt Place. It's a quilting store near me which has really amazing fabrics and quilts hanging around the ceiling. I actually bought a few different fabrics for some quilt ideas we got while there. Once being a Scrabble quilt that Roger got very excited about. He was the one to come up with the idea and practically jumped the fabric. We also picked up a wolf panel and a baby boy panel. The wolf quilt will be for me and Roger and the baby boy quilt will most likely be put up for sale. Well that all depends really. At how much I have to do before this one I might be married with kids before I get to it haha. No but I do know a few people who are either pregnant now or recently married and trying for kids. So if they have a boy I'll make it for them.

Well that's about it for now. I'll update again soon. Bye

My To Do List

Sorry but no pictures today. I have quite a bit to do and I'm just going to give all you lovely folks a run down of what to expect in the next couple of months.

First things first. I am still working on the Denim Quilt I have rightfully named "Window Flowers". This quilt is just big enough for a crib. It has blocks that are 4 x 4 and go in intervals of denim and a cotton fabric with a bright flower design on them. The backing is going to be a blue and pink plaid fleece and the boarder is going to be 2 inches of dark and light denim. I plan to have this done in the next two weeks or so.

The next project is going to be two animal rag quilts. These two are going to be for family so I'm filing as one project and separate from any other rag quilts I'll be doing. One is going to be a blue and green caterpillar for my step sister's new born cousin. And the other is going to be a monotone green turtle for my sister's mother-in-law. I can't wait to see the turtle one done because I know she'll fall head over heels for it. These two shouldn't take more than a couple of days so expect to see them near the beginning of February.

During this time period I also plan to make a few premade quilts to sell on etsy. These will range from a "Little Monsters" quilt, which has cute little monster friends on it, to my cute little "Animal Rags" to maybe even a Queen or Full sized "Beauty & Beast" quilt.

The "Beauty & Beast quilt is based off the Disney movie and will feature a red rose in the middle with falling petals. In the corners of the quilt it will have either the cute friends of Belle, like Mrs. Pots and Chip, or will have the Disney Princess herself. This will be decided when and if I get the fabric I've been eyeing. The background of this quilt will be mainly white with an array different patterns and the border will be a sleek black. I am torn between fleece or cotton backing, but I'm learning more towards cotton. This quilt will be time consuming and I don't plan on having it done till close to March. Which is fine because I plan on it being either a gift to my love, Roger, or a gift for my mother whose birthday is in June.

Also on my to do list is to make a quilt that is modern, sleek, and yet manly for my father. Who as of lately has gotten a lot of girly sheets and dishware.... At least in my opinion. I'm wanting to make it mainly black with hints of blue throughout it. I also plan on placing a single small square that won't match the rest of it on the bottom corner. Why you may ask. Simple this piece of fabric was the only piece I could find with two girls on it, the oldest being brunette and the youngest being blonde. I'll call this quilt the "Father". See I'm the youngest at the rip old age of 19 and my sister and I always use to make my dad cute little father's day gifts. So I thought it's be perfect just to add in there as a "Look how much we've grown" kind of thing.

So there you have it. My quilting to do list. So if you subscribe or find yourself on here more than once to see what I'm up to you'll know what to expect. I will post pictures of my progress, but I do not give step by step instructions on how to make the quilts. Sorry I just don't have enough patience to do that. Haha. Well then til next time. Bye
