FINISHED QUILT

Finally finished my first ever QAYG. This all of The Pioneer Woman's fabrics since I couldn't decide on one set.

After I cut all the circles and sewing them together in sandwich of two fabric circles and one batting I turned right side out. Pressed the edges. Took a square template and drew lines to sew the circles together on. (was not thinking of the edges, used a permeant marker. After washing quilt doesn't show as much. Considering embellishments like ribbon or lace as a trim to cover the black lines.)

I sewed 6 circles together and then sewed the edges down to form the window. Next sewed two 6 rows together. Sewed the center edges down. Made less bulk to deal with at the end.

This is the back side which I planned for all the patterns to be seen

The centers of front are the accents colors to The Pioneer Woman's pattern's

Love seeing all her patterns together

Finally Finished 8x10 perfect lap quilt to sit with next to fire place this fall.

My grandbaby decided she loved it as a play blanket.

I followed Jera Bandvig tutorial I am looking forward to using more of her patterns. 

This the original pattern I saw when I began following Jera Bandvig.

Working on new quilt

Have been wanting a Pioneer Woman quilt since she came out with her line of fabric. Made pillowcases to match my comforter already have her throw but not the same as a homemade quilt.

Then I came across Jera Brandvig Quilt as you go. Knew the two where meant for each other.

Quilting in the rain - this the link to the pattern I am using from the below book of Jera Brandvig.

(click picture to see Jera brandvig book)

Didn't think ahead of blogging about this quilt so forgive the lack of pictures. Below you will find a picture of the fabric circles in the process of being cut.

 

                                                       

These two pictures are of my finished circles. Next is to cut a template for a  6 X 6 square then mark lines on each circle for sewing them together. Having hard time seeing the finished size right now, I may add more circle to reach the size I really would like to have in the finish quilt.

                                

Can't wait to see the finished quilt, little worried it will be to small for what I was wanting, but with this pattern I can add on to it at anytime.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday,
