Baby Thunderbird

A smaller version of Thunderbirds  for a baby boy due in August -- finishing just in time and will be on the way to Michigan Monday.

Thunderbirds, Finished 60'x60"

Black Cat Creations Pattern

Designed by Jamie Janow Elfert

Linking up with Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict....Whoop Whoop!

Sunday Sample, Block 4

With Four of Bonnie Hunter's Blocks, it is starting to look like an invested project!  Block #4 is called "Birthday Girl", published in Volume #2,  Quiltmaker's 100 Block collector's edition.

Charity Finish

First - on the design wall, ready for assembly of the two remaining sections.

Next -- fresh off the long arm (inside shot)

Last shot is outside -- I was almost finished with the binding last night and wanted to take the picture before the sun went down.

The Helping Hands Quilt (our guild's charity program) finished at 64" X 88 -- the center used 4 1/2" Kona solid squares and same fabric used for the border.  The scraps were 2 1/2" X 4 1/2" rectangles. The pattern was inspired by a Shop Hop Pattern from a few years ago (Mama's Quilt Shop in Independence, LA.)  We are just a couple weeks away from the 2017 Shop Hop, so I need to dig out the mad money.

Baby Thunderbirds in Progress

A smaller version of  my "Thunderbirds" Quilt (Black Cat Creations Pattern) commissioned by a newborn's Great Aunt Ginny from Michigan.  Special thanks to Cheryl at The Quilters Garden in Fenton, Michigan who assisted Ginny with the fabric choices.  The top will finish at 60 X 60" and will be large enough for the baby boy to use for many years to come -- especially since high quality batiks are being used.

Just need to sew the blocks together and load it on the long-arm!  Almost done.

Sunday Sample

And then there were three!!!  Making the blocks in between several other projects -- I'm sooooo not in a hurry.  My hope is Bonnie will continue to design for the Quiltmaker's 100 Block series until there is enough for a nice size quilt.  

The newest block, top left, is called "Midnight Flight" and was published in Volume 4 of the Quiltaker's 100 Block collector's edition.  (Note:  I am not going in order of publication).
