Wicked Easy Quilt













I haven't actually blogged from blogger in a long time.... I have been using Flickr, but when blogging directly from Flickr, I can only post one photo..... If anyone knows a way to get more than 1 photo up at a time with Flickr, please let me know!


Anyhow, I just finished sewing the binding on this quilt. It's called the Wicked Easy Quilt, and believe me, it is easy. I left out the folded inner border, as I thought the person who was quilting it for me really didn't need that flapping around and in the way. I had a link posted for the pattern, but for some reason, it doesn't work. If you Google "Wicked Easy Quilt" you can find the pattern.


I edited the pictures with Flickr. I'm not sure which one is more true to color.....

Here are a few of the finished blocks. They aren't pressed yet, and the colors did not photograph well, but you get the idea...

I took a picture of the fabric I'll be making a quilt out of. I got the pieces all cut last night... I used 4 of the fat quarters from the stack in back, and all of the pieces of Prince Charming on the table. Maybe I can start sewing tonight!

Here's my most recent finished quilt. It's made with 2 charm packs of Moda's Central Park by Kate Spain. I also added a few random purple and yellow squares as well. I quilted on either side of the seams - approximately 1/2 inch from the seam. The backing is a sold yellow-orange. Bound in yellow with white polka dots.

Another finish

I just finished hand sewing the binding on this quilt last night. Then I washed it and ran it through the dryer to give it the "crinkly" look. I think this is my new favorite. The top was pieced back in January. I've had it back from the quilters for quite some time, but have waited to bind it. It is a wedding gift for a friend's daughter. I hope they like it as much as I do! :)
