Butterfly, Bats, and E.T.

I can't think of anything else, other than quilts, where you can talk about butterflies, bats, and E.T. in the same post.  

Luckily, the three are related by my WIPs!!

Finishes:

Lyla's Quilt

One more baby girl quilt kit completed!  I have only one more quilt kit left!  So excited to be clearing out my clearance stash!!


I am still disappointed in my efforts to be random...I am not happy that I got the blocks out of order, but I was too far in to back out of the corner I got myself into! I still adore these prints.  Very girly. 


Flannel backing that is so soft and I actually REALLY like the print!!!  I used my embroidery machine again to make the label.  I can't wait to spend some time making some pretty designs for future quilts.  I went pretty simple with this one and the one I did for the Trick or Treat quilt!


I made up for it with the quilting! Butterflies!!!

Trick or Treat Charm Quilt


Finished!  Details on Trick or Treat were posted yesterday.


In Progress:

ET Dialed It In Quilt

I have few things in progress, but this quilt with all of these beautiful ET Phone home blocks have officially moved to the top of my 'get-er-done' list this week.


The July do. Good stitches blocks have been calling my name.
  I need to make room on my design wall for other projects!


I have decided that option one is the best course of action at this point.  Although, I love option two.  I just can't bring myself to move someone's bee blocks to make room for mine.  It just doesn't feel right.


Sashing fabric

 I have convinced myself that the extra half squares, borders, and sashing will be my contribution at this point. I can't add two blocks without skewing my plans!  I just hope the end product is close, if not better than  my EQ7 "plan".  This one is a tough one to nail down!


Ever have one of those?



Linking up with Lee!!!!!

  3. I think your choice of layout is great!
    the only other thing you could try if you like option 2 is to put the darks in opposite diagonal corners as anchors... I sometimes do that if I have 2 blocks that seem to stand out more.
    they're really great blocks though!
    happy little quilts you finished! I really like too how you did that label (I did mine with a permanent marker! gah!) ;)

    1. I wish I had an answer, I think there might be a bit of insanity in there somewhere!
