Indie meets The Austin Quilt

Remember that vintage feeling quilt I made? The Austin Quilt and the pattern is plain spoken. Well I got a chance to do it again. Here is the Indie Collection by Pat Bravo.

I really love this little gem. I made a mini quilt too. :) yay!

Strip to high heaven

I started this beauty nearly 5 months ago. I'd hate to admit it but I purchased the fabric 10 months ago! I saw lots of strip quilts floating around and thought "oh that's so quick and easy!" Easy? Yes. Quick? No.
There's something about piecing cool designs together that makes quilting fun. Running straight strip around another straight strip continually isn't as much fun. It's not a really time consuming task but its boring.
I kept sewing 2 sets of layers on and then I'd stop...for weeks! Finally I pushed through and finished it.
I'm going to go back to what I like. :)
