Progress

Even with company this weekend I did manage to make progress on the Salt Air Quilt.  When I started this quilt I hadn't yet figured out what fabric I would use for binding.  I really didn't have anything on hand that would look good and the local shops around me don't carry this line of fabric {at least not yet} so i took to the internet.  I chose getting it quickly over the least expensive online shop.  Luckily the Fat Quarter Shop is in my backyard and this is what I chose for binding.



Too bad they are an online only shop,  I would probably camp out there if they were a brick and mortar.  Here are a few pics of my progress on the quilt







While I'm waiting on the fabric I am contemplating adding some quilting lines so that each seam is outlined.  What do you think?  Quilt more or leave it alone?

Since I'm undecided I decided to fill my time by layout a new baby quilt with blocks I've had done for awhile.  It's very similar to the baby quilt I made for my sister.



Hopefully both of these will be finished and up for sell in my shop by weeks end!

Salt Air HST Quilt

Yesterday I finished the Salt Air HST quilt top.  It was still raining when I finished so I had to wait till this morning to take some pics.  I love how it looks with the light coming through it.  I originally was going to layout all the hst in the same direction but then sewed a row the wrong way.  Instead of taking the seams out I just changed my layout. {Is that lazy or what} Ultimately I'm happy with the mistake and think the quilting will turn out really nice for this design.







I hope to get started on the quilting today and plan to sell this one in my etsy shop.  I'll post when it gets listed!
