It's Done!

Here it is! The SuperBowl Baby Bargellow quilted and bound! I'm on a roll... second quilt for 2008! That's a big accomplishment for me! Normally, my quilt tops get to sit and aged before becoming a quilt! *U*

My journey to better machine quilting has improved with this one also. I did an overall meandering for the first time and it looked decent! lol

This quilt will be donated to my local chapter of Project Linus and will go to the same hospital where Hannah was borned.

Thanks, Bonnie, for a fun project! I think I will make another one since I still have a bunch of strips leftover.

Baby Bargello

I finished with the last of the borders on this quilt top as the family were heading up to bed tonight! I really like how this turned out... this pattern was quick, easy and so much fun to do! Thanks Bonnie!

Oh, I did said that I wasn't going to do the SuperBowl Bargello because of my hand, but I couldn't resisted. I could still sew but just have to take it easy and not using the rotary cutter that much. Besides, I had wanted to try this pattern for a long time. *U*

It was a perfect night to sew last night. John was at the Anaheim Stadium to watch the Supercross, the girls were at their friends' houses, and Simon was playing games online with his friends.... So that meant, it was just me and the animals left. The cats at their usual spots on the sofa, and the little doxies followed me around in my little sewing corner and got underfoot as usual. Finally, after an hour of roughhousing, they settled down for the night and went to sleep.

BTW, I had Amanda (DD1) cut all the strips at 2 inches for this project before she left for the night. She did a great job at cutting. HMMM.... maybe she can cut more strips next weekend for the larger Bargello that I wanted to make for my bed. I might have to sweeten her up with some kind of briberies though. LOL

Anyway, I sewn half of the quilt last night then sewn the rest of it during the Super Bowl Sunday. The border was added after dinner. I'm planning to sandwich it tomorrow and start on the quilting. I will practice my meandering on this quilt and bind it with a dark blue. This quilt will be for Project Linus.

SuperBowl Bargello

Bonnie did it again! She has enticed the Quiltvillechat Group to join in her madness *LOL* to make a Scrappy Bargello quilt on Superbowl Sunday!

The logo on the right is a creation from ForestJane in response to Bonnie's enticement! Thank you Jane!

Well, I had decided earlier in the week to do this Bargello Bowl madness with the group and was planning to make a queen size quilt in cream/tan/brown for my bed. Also, I was thinking of a baby bargello for Project Linus to donate at the end of the month. HOWEVER, that darn carpel tunnel has shown its ugly head again..... So, per doctor's order, I'm limited the usage my right hand. :( That means no Bargello quilt! 8((((
