I added that last round of full blocks to the Facets quilt. These blocks are 6.5" square. This quilt top so far measures about 84" square. I just started cutting some pieces for the border. The border round is much smaller and I expect to finish it quicker. The main color is red with a pale yellow background. I think they measure around 2" X 6.5".
I loaded the baby quilt and started quilting it over the weekend. I'm not doing anything too fancy. I'm making free motion loops, ribbon candy, and arcs. The thread is a very pale pink. I really love the little pop of pink on the blocks. It's fun to quilt this one. It's not too big and fun to add that texture!
"Facets" is just so beautiful, Rosemary...so well-named--the block rounds look like jewels for sure...Lovely work on this...

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you;))) hugs, Julierose
Thanks, Julierose! It's been a fun quilt to make but I'm glad to be almost done. I drove by the Irish restaurant in town and it's packed! Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too!
DeleteFacets is beautiful. Is it the last border you are starting on? Cute baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Astrid! Yes, I just have the border left which much smaller than the actual block I've been making.
DeleteFacets is stunning, Rosemary. The quilting on the baby quilt looks so good, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jeanna! Getting there!!
