I'm back again..promising to get better at this blog thing..

I'm back -boy time got a way from me since last year or maybe I just have not worked on a quilt in awhile so no need to blog? I think I will start using my blog some for my Etsy shop to so I will get more regular at blogging. I had originally used it just for personal sewing maybe that would help.

So this quilt I have been working on for a year or actually over a year. I cut it out December 2015 and sewed the strips together sometime the first of last year. They are from a jelly roll and the fabric is Daysail by Bonnie and Camille which is so pretty and bright.  The pattern I used was Jellybean by Thimble blossoms. This pattern was my most difficult quilt to date but it was fairly easy. I think a beginner could follow it.

When I first started quilting I would look at a pattern and think I can never even think to do that, I am horrible at math, but once I started breaking it down and figuring how it was built it got a lot easier for me.

The backing I am going to use is Handmade fabric line by Bonnie and Camille as well, I like that you can mix and match their different lines together. Hopefully by next weekend I will have the quilt basted and pinned and ready to start quilting.

I have not named this quilt yet-not sure what to name it, my husband suggested something to go along with Daysail and flags flying, it reminded him of flags flying in the wind. I figure it will come to be when I finish it up.
