Graduation & August Friday Night Sew-In Results

Armando graduated with honors from TSTC "Combination Welding"

I am very proud of him. The ceremony was surprisingly brief with all the different certificates to give out and the crowd was fairly quiet.

Now to FNSI

(This photo is to show how the 3 inch blocks can be use around larger blocks)

I love unusual fabrics, collect them as often as I can. I also, like strip piecing, so after another project, I had plenty of strips leftover. I sewed them together and cut them on the diagonal into 3 inch squares. These will be used in my "When Nature Calls" BOM quilt as filler blocks, I think... LOL

Sew-In Results - "When Nature Calls" - Finished

All done and I'm so happy!

I went with an old dead tree with long branches and a surprise at the end.
Measures roughly 56" by 68"
BTW, all from my stash!!!

Note the tissue!!!

Turning the corner on the first side adds a lot of interest, along with all the gnarly branches.

The wood-zie looking fabric did the trick.

Don't be afraid to buy that unusual looking fabric.

I decided not to go all the way round the quilt with the tree branches. I've used this method in several quilts and like the effect. What do you think??

Several bloggers have asked me to do patterns for this quilt, so I'll be developing those in the next few weeks to share with everyone.

Now, I'll have to get this little one quilted but that's for in the far, far future.

Friday Night Sew-In / When Nature Calls #5

Here's what I've gotten done so far with my "When Nature Calls"
I added more trees that bleed into the filler blocks above and below the Outhouses. I like the look of them. So far the quilt measures 46" by 58". I now have to decide on a border or borders..... any suggestions???
