Clearing the backlog…

I have been working hard this week to start clearing the backlog of quilt tops I have floating around my work space. What is spurring me on is the fact that I have not donated quilts to Project Linus for a couple of months now and am feeling a little bad about it.

So I spent yesterday day basting some tops up and managed in amongst it all to get my 1001 Peeps top finally finished. I first blogged about this quilt months ago (you can find the link here). So without further ado here is finally a compete finish.

I love the 1001 Peeps range by Lizzy House, actually I love everything Lizzy House does. She is one of my favorite fabric designers and you will see her Pearl Bracelet range in just about everything I do.

This square in square pattern is so easy and just perfect for fussy cutting.

I backed the quilt using scrap bits of the fabric I had left over from making the front and a splash of solids.

Finally I bound and labeled the quilt so it is now ready for delivery to the Project Linus meeting this month.

I am hoping to get at least another two tops finished this week. Wish me luck.

A lovely product line, love the way you have done the border.

what a great idea doing those little blocks all in a few colors — I’m getting mine ready for the swap this weekend

This is such a great quilt! I like how you captured different designs in the windows and utilized the buildings to create the outside border.

Love the colors of your quilt and your building borders looks awesome! Great finish:)

Absolutely love this! The fussy cutting, the border, and the colors are all perfect.

What a fantastic quilt! Love all those fabrics and rich colors–it will make some child VERY happy!

I am also glad to see this one done! I think it is darling. The border is very clever. I guess THAT ‘S what one is supposed to do with that print!

Beautiful! Great job!

Love it! Now, enter something in the State Fair. Tonight is the last chance to enter online and drop off is in Portland mid August.

gorgeous!

That border is perfection!! Your centers for the squares are also adorable. Love this finish, cath!

Beautiful 🙂 I’m really drawn to blue quilts, having girls I’m always surrounded by pink. But the blue tones in this quilt are really relaxing and I’m sure some little one will love snuggling in it and looking at all the little pictures (I love the camel!)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that line…love it! Congrats on making headway through those tops!

Lovely quilt Cath …….the fabric line is lovely and I really like what you have done with the backing. Great job. thanks for sharing. Marie

Oh, i’ve been waiting to see this one finished up! I love it, it looks awesome! Love the little pops of the green pearl bracelet!

Good luck! Hey, could you maybe do a post telling us about your sewing space? I’ve read a few lately and they are really interesting. 🙂

I will. It will be interesting. I do not have a sewing room as such but take over the living room.

  I try to avoid that, but sometimes the dining table is just too tempting! 😀

You have been awarded the Versatile Blogger icon, I’m sorry that this is a little like an old chain letter as there are some responsibilities if you choose to accept, but it was given because I truly do enjoy your blog 🙂

That’s fantastic and so generous of you to donate it! I love the peek-a-boo of the images. 🙂

This quilt is so cute! I love the little fussy cut centers

Oh.Em.Gee. *heart eyes* I’m in love with that thing! My favorite part is a tie between the fussies and the border. I know whoever receives that through Project Linus will just treasure it.
