Flimsy Fri-Yay 3-Yard Quilt Challenge

I.m a week ahead on this Challenge, YEA!!!

It' is due next Friday.

It took a few pictures to get the border the way that worked best.

This is how it looked last night when I gave up.

This morning I looked at the photo on my phone and changed it a bit.

Last try to get the corners to all be the same.

Hubby took a picture of me, I am tired from staying up late.

Betsy isn't behaving and I still have the Purple Jubilee on the frame.

SO, I asked at the WW Sew Vac and Spas how long they would take to quilt it for me.

Amber had just one quilt ahead of me so I took it down this Afternoon.

I chose Minky for the backing, it's lying on the quilt table behind the quilt.

I liked the "Camilla" Pattern to quilt it all over.

Just 37"x47"

We'll see what it measures after Quilting.

When I got home I un-Quilted what I did yesterday and tried again.

That took a few hours with the "Frogger".

Hope your projects are going better than mine.

This Big Purple Quilt might not make the Quilt show...

Have a good weekend!
 

Happy Fri-Yay!

We got our wish!
The Quiltville Mystery Reveal  happened today!

This morning I woke up with the chickens to print the final clue. 

Click HERE to go see the Reveal!

I am so amazed at the way Bonnie can make two blocks and a 

set color way work into such a Beautiful Quilt Mystery.

Does that mean I can start something NEW?

Hahaha, of course everyone knows I can't pass 

up a challenge!

Two of our Local Shops are having Challenges. 

Walla Walla Sew Vac and Spas 

Is a 3 Yard Challenge 

These are the 2 fabrics Tara chose for me

I love the choices, now to choose the #3 Yard.

Highland Quilts

Black and White with a color

I figured the Jelly Roll would help with the

 stripping and give some variety.

I also have a Tri-Cities Quilt Guild Challenge for the Show in March.

The Challenge Theme is "Origins"

Where you came from??

Something about ourselves.

Well, I have ideas spinning in my head about this Challenge.

Best Memory of my Childhood is when my daddy painted the house PINK!

We had a White Picket Fence and a Weeping Willow Tree.

Later he grew Beautiful Roses, and planted Blue Spruce Pine trees in the yard.

Oh, and the Big Snowball Tree in the back by our Clothes line.

The neighbor said he could plant a stick and it would Grow.

Those were his Geraniums.

I ran a few errands and came home to sort and clean in my sewing room.

I've done some Cutting for the Mystery Parts I need to make Block B and More Block A.

I even found some things I haven't seen since Last Year. 

Have you changed your Rotary Cutter Blade this Year?

Nothing like a New Blade!

Super Saturday- Balloons inflation time - Early riser

 The balloons got inflated this morning but not launched. 

We'll have to watch again 

in the morning to see if they go up.

The early risers get to see the Balloons.

A panoramic view from the field at Tieton Park.

The Walla Walla Balloon Stampede started in 1974, I read this week.

So almost 50 years!

I counted 16 Hot Air Balloons before we left the park this morning. 

No lift offs because it was windy up high 

when they sent up a test Balloon.

Nap Time for Grandpa.

We missed the Night Glow last night while we were watching 

the Ransom 3 with Forte, Amplify and Bravo Performances.

The theme was ""Stand by Me"

Photo Proof - we were there!

See the photo bomber, lol

Balloons inflated.

What a View!

I tried to get a Panoramic photo.

Which is your favorite!??

Lucky Number 15 is hanging at Walla Walla Sew Vac & Spas this week

3 yard Challenge.

I didn't use a 3- Yard Pattern.

 The top border was left off, I ran out of the Yellow fabric.

Borders on three sides and smaller Sashing than Miriam's Quilt.

The Navy fabric had barely enough for the Binding.

The Blue and Yellow are "provincial" don't you think??

Love the secondary patterns that shows.

I made this one in just a couple of days. Pieced Quilted and Bound!
