Arithmetic

This quilt has been working it's way through the process since last summer and I'm very happy to have it finished.

The pattern is Arithmetic by In Color Order, the fabric is all from the Tule line by Leah Duncan for Art Gallery fabrics and I quilted it all with variegated 50 wt. Aurifil thread.

I may do a better photo one day when the snow goes away and the sun comes out.

Thank you for stopping by to check out what I've been up to!

Fancy Fox

I finished my Fancy Fox quilt this week. The pattern is by Elizabeth Hartman and it was so fun to make.

The fabrics for the fox came from six consecutive shades from a stack of Kona fat quarters in the red colorway. The background is Essex yarn dyed cotton/linen in natural.

I quilted with a 50wt. Aurifil variegated thread. I noticed after I photographed it that I missed two rows of quilting. I did go back and add them.

The pattern has a variety of sizes and I made something in between baby and throw. It's 42" X 52" and the pattern designer included the eyeglass pattern on her blog. I chose to do raw edge applique with fusible. I didn't take a picture of the back but it is an organic cotton with an all over fox print.

Hand quilted feedsack quilt finish

Hand quilted feedsack quilt finish

You may have seen this last summer when I finished the top. It is called Rummage and the pattern is by Sandy Dunphy.

I finished hand quilting and binding it on our way to / during / and on our way back from Florida.

I enjoyed this so much that I feel bad it is finished and I don't have anything else ready to quilt right now.

Guess I'll have to do something about that.
