New FO for February

2014 NewFO Challenge

It's time again for the New FO linky party at Cat Patches. This month the first thing I did was my "Book It" quilt for the link up at Vroomans Quilts

This one was so different from the style and color I usually do, so I ran straight for my brightest colors and made this
I had originally planned for the entire quilt being the HST's, but found it a little boring, (I know :), so I switched out the set in triangles for solids, which left me with left over blocks, so I made this, it was a bit of a puzzle to figure out, but I like that.

I took part in a Red and White design challenge over at SewCalGals and decided to play a little with one of the designs, I switched the colors to blues and purples.
After making those three I had my bright fix.

When I threw the scraps into my strings stash they came flying right back out at me so I'm working on using up some scraps and making a string quilt or two, you know how that goes, it sounds great until making string blocks has you screaming and running away. 

That's it for February, not bad for such a short month. Remember you only have to start something to join this challenge, start a quilt, make one block and you're qualified, LOL. Easy and fun, just the way I like them. I hope you'll check out the party at Cat Patches.


Later Gators,
Dana

  2. Wow, Dana!!! I just love everything you did this month. That top one may not be in your normal range, but it sure is pretty - makes me think of hanging out at a lake in the forest. :)

  11. Dang! How do you do so much? That's it, I'm officially a slacker! I love them all. I wish I had seen your blue and purple one months ago when I started making my niece's quilt. Those are her colors and im not sure about the fabrics I picked out for her.

    Love your blue/white quilt.
    Oh another way for string quilts probably would use improv piecing and just go with the flow!
