And now the story...

I got these lovely fabrics as I'm an individual member of the MQG.  

#mqgrileyblakechallenge fabrics in the house. Can't wait to get started thanks @themqg

So I have been pondering for months!  Oh dear since October!!

I tried this block with some solids earlier this month and was happy but not enough to go forward with a larger project.  

I should be doing anything else!

Then I just jumped and make this wall hanging.

#mqgrileyblakechallenge I'll finish this up quickly ... if only my machines let me. Faceplate missing on one the other is missing important feet.

That's right . . I started yesterday!  Ugh!

Well first I misplaced my Pfaff face-plate for anything other than straight stitch, and then I found that my other machine I have set up .. is missing some feet. Important feet I may tell you.  Still all missing by the way. But I got it. . it's all good.  I basted this beauty and let it sit for today.

And then. . the cat!  Oh the cat.  

My cats idea of helping....

Apparently he thinks that Washington's birthday means he gets all the attention.  At one point I had in in my lap while I was stitching.  

HOURS I fought with the cat but finally got down to binding.

In the home stretch! #mqgrileyblakechallenge

And now...

A wall hanging



I'm super proud of my growth with my FMQ.  It's so perfect in my eyes.


A finish means I get to go shower.  

:)

Happy Monday

And this was part of my FAL Q1 goals

      I got them from Tags to Go on Etsy. I also requested them with 3/8" seam allowance on both sides just for quilt + binding

    Last minute is when we get our best work accomplished. I am glad you were able to work around your missing presser foot. Your quilt turns out great.

    It's fantastic! I didn't love all of the fabrics in the challenge. I think we may have the same favorites. :)

    Your cat is too much! :) What is it about cats and quilts? Mine won't leave me alone when I am quilting either. You did a fantastic job on your quilting, especially with all the help you got from Mr. Kitty.
