Fancy Foxes 2.0

I finished my Fancy Fox Quilt in time to link up with the 4th Quarter Finish-A-Long for 2017.

You can see the link party here: 4th Quarter Link Up

Check out everyone's finishes for the last quarter:  

I had the top completed about a month ago and quilted and bound it last night.

This is my third and final finish for this Quarter and one of the best quarters I have had in a long time in regards to finishing old projects.  I usually work a little bit on some of them and don't finish any.  So I am super excited to finish three UFO's this time around.

This quilt came about from a jelly roll I bought to make one quilt.  The Jelly roll actually had enough to make two quilts.  The first one was made in winter of 2015 and gifted to my friend. I cut out the pieces to make this second one at that time as well. This winter I finally finished my version.

Twin quilts in two different states.  Same fabrics, slightly different fox arrangement.
Like BFF charms.  :)

One Block Wonder - Poinsettia Version

I ordered this Michael Miller Scarlet Poinsetta Black fabric from Fabric.com on November 28.

It arrived Dec 2 and I cut it up that same night.

I also started sewing some of the hexagons together that night.

I spent the next few days finishing those up.

Then I put them on the design wall to decide on a layout.

I decided to go with the first one I put on the wall. 

I rearranged a few blocks to keep with the design, but that was about it.

It quilted up super fast on my long arm. 

I used an all over flower design.

I let it sit on the machine till I had a chance to get the binding on.

Which I did right before Christmas. Just in time to give away to a special someone.

And here's the back.

Tula Pink Pinwheels

This quilt started out from left overs from the Tula Jaybird Mini quilt swap.

 I was going to make another mini, but changed my mind and decided to go a little bigger and make a lap quilt.

The fabric I used is Eden from Tula Pink.

I also decided to add triangles between the Pinwheels for a different look.

I spent a couple days deciding on a layout. Moving Pinwheels around trying to disperse the colors evenly. Mostly the yellows since the stick out the most.

Then my kitty Boonky supervised the sewing of rows.

I sewed the rows in pairs, then pairs again to help prevent the quilt top from distorting.

For the backing I used the rest of the Kona gray I bought. It wasn't quite big enough though so I added a few pieces of Eden that were left over. 

Quilting is done. 

 Took it to the beach for a photo shoot 

 It was a bright Sunny day on the pier.
