A Finish and a Start

My "Love" quilt is finished. I think it turned out pretty well. It's about 41"x41", before washing.

Here is a close up of the quilting.

And here is the back. I used the Love selvage and embroidered 2011 along with the little blocks.

Here is my new project. I purchase the Sand and Pebbles quilt pattern from Cherry House Quilts. I'm going to be using my Nicey Jane stash on this one. I've been collecting pieces of Nicey Jane for over 6 months and have 29 of the 40 fabrics. I choose this pattern because it had some large squares where I could feature some of the large prints.

And today I started sewing and got my first section together. A lot more to go since I'm going to make this a queen sized quilt 96"x96".

And if you haven't commented on my fat quarter giveaway, checkout the post below.

Sewn with LOVE

Here is my first completed Quilt Top of 2011. I made this with a charm pack of Amy Butler Love fabrics. There were only 26 charms in the pack, I used 25. I also had lots of the Love Dots and the one Rose floral so I added those for a border. It measures approx 44" x 44". I have the back finished and the batting ready, I just haven't been motivated to baste it yet.
