Wow - didn't this month go by so fast? It's hard to believe it is already that time for the linky party. Remember, you don't have to be finished and if you have a large project you can carry it over into as many months you need. AND I hope it is working right, but I upgraded my InLinkz to include photos. I think it helps draw people to your blog if they get a 'tease' photo.
This was my project for the month - long ago printed off and hanging on the wall just waiting to be played with. I really think it was waiting for this fabric to be honest.
The cutting went really quickly once I got started on this project.
As well as the sewing part - why did I wait so long to play with this?
If you remember the laying out was a challenge due to 2 fun loving furry helpers.
And the top is complete! This is only 51.5" square which is just too small. So I have to think on borders - yes I hate borders, but this needs borders or maybe I'll pick up another layer cake and make more blocks - that sounds better.
This is a free pattern on Me and My Sister Designs called 'Ground Cover'. You could easily make it from your own scraps or yardage. Have an ugly large floral - perfect for this. Cuts up quickly, sews up quickly, and looks fab together - a super charity quilt pattern.
This year the charm pin is the cute vintage sewing machine and January's charm in Sunbonnet Sue - a great vintage block to start the year off with.
Now it is your turn to share:
Sewingly Yours,

What a wonderful quilt. I really like the pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy project comes up tomorrow on my blog so I'll come by again and register my link then. Thanks for hosting us all again Sharon. I would LoVe Sue as an addition to my pin.... so I have my fingers & toes crossed this month... xox
ReplyDeleteThat is a GOOD pattern. It's now on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteThis month has flown by.
BYW. I like your new link up this month.
What you mean it is the end of the month already? lol. This Book It is great, I like the blocks with good contrasts.
ReplyDeleteI love those colors together!
ReplyDeleteI love your reds and tans. Such a classic combination.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors. And I love this challenge. It has me all excited about the craft books in my collection. So much to sew, so little time!
ReplyDeleteOww, I like it! And I really like your sewing set up, all ready to grap and sew!
ReplyDeleteAdding a photo to the link-party really does make clicking on a link much more tempting! Great idea :) I'll spend half an hour now and get clicking!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors! It certainly went together quickly!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and it sounds like you are just looking for a reason to buy more of that fabric. :)
ReplyDeleteMy project was such a little thing, but truly was on my want to do list for way too long (years!). Thanks for the incentive Sharon, mine is small but it is totally done and it was the tip of the iceberg for getting even more other bits finished this month. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYour ground cover looks really nice. Ah borders..., that's nothing for a quilter like yourself. Get to it girl. LOL

Love your quilt! I've seen that pattern before too but I like your colors better. Thanks for hosting this party too.
ReplyDeleteYou're so funny, you'd rather pick up another layer cake than make borders :) I knew you didn't like them but now I wonder if you were bit by a border when you were young.
ReplyDeletelol! :D I love it - sounds so much like myself, picking up another layer cake. You'll get that border, though, and most likely it'll turn out not being as much a chore as it seemed. Usually that happens, anyway - sometimes not. . . hehe
