Red Home progress :)

001

I had one big goal this weekend, and that was to finish the Red Home quilt top.  Started to add the first border.

002

And then the second border.  Sewed the triangle border yesterday so they were redy to be sewed on.  Love how the triangleborder puts the whole quilt together.

003

And then I started to make the outher border.  I love Moda French General fabrics, but this time I did not like border on the fabric.  Too big, so I had to cut the outher border a little bit smaller than it should be to get enough fabric.

004

The outher border is on.

008

And here is the whole quilt top finished.  I LOVE IT!!

009

In the original pattern there was a dog on this scooter.  But no dogs in my quilts house, so I added a cat instead.

010

This is my favorite block in this quilt.

006

I have also found some fabrics to use for the backing.  Have them in my washingmachine now, and then I have to sew them together. Think I have big enough batting to get the quilt basted soon.

011

This was the box I stored my Red Home blocks while doing the applique.  Ready to empty it now….

012

…..but then I discovered an UFO.

013

This is also from the Red Home book. It is going to be a table centre and I will start finishing this one now.  I already have the red fabrics from the Red Home quilt out on the table.

But first relaxing with some needleturn.

Saying for today:

Det blir kjempefint! Liker fargene dine kjempegodt! Jeg oppdaget dette nylig, og er veldig, veldig fristet. Men enn så lenge har jeg ikke helt funnet ut av det... om det er en BOM, i en bok eller et mønster.
En annen sak er at jeg har jo flere på gang. (akkurat som om det er en grunn!)
Håper du har fine dager, nå med sommer og greier. Jeg savner Elverum noe vanvittig! Tenker stadig på å være i området når dere har møte, men det har ikke klaffet enda. Kanskje til høsten?
Klem og ha det fint!
