Slow stitching!! (and some fast lane stitching too!)

I have been working on hand quilting this little quilt. These are all left over 1/2 square triangles, from other projects. Yep, I saved them...I save them all! Wish I could have found a brighter pink for the border...NOT!!! I am surprised at how the photo looks, LOL!

I made a mistake and did not trim them down...big mistake. The accuracy is lacking! But hey...live and learn, and I won't do that again. It is fun to work on the hand quilting!!

I have completed the applique part of this free project, starting last fall. This is from Lisa Bongean's blog, and other designers, and I tried to stay caught up. I still need to add a bit of embroidery to some of the blocks, and set them all together. It will be fun Christmas quilt when completed!!

Tada!! I am done with the binding on Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt!! This was done by the Magic Binding method. Fast!!!

and complete! That is a good thing...

And the label. I am still working on hand appliqueing that down. But almost there, and then to clip all the threads. Yahoo!!!

I am linking to Kathy, and her Slow Stitching Sunday!!!

Have a great day!!

Kyle said...: I think there are always times when we wish we had done something differently. I guess we do live and learn through piecing our quilts. Love the binding on your mystery quilt. It's a great way to machine sew a binding. Yay, for a great finish.; February 21, 2016 at 9:50 PM
Janet O. said...: You are so funny about the pink border. It is a very happy quilt, whether or not the HSTs got trimmed. : )
How do you do it all? I had no idea you had been doing the Christmas blocks, on top of everything else. I downloaded two of the patterns and have made one block into a mini quilt--that is all. Look at you, with all the applique done on every block!
Your mystery quilt is gorgeous. I need to get brave and try that binding method someday. Looks really good!; February 21, 2016 at 11:51 PM
Lori said...: Very nice! I really love Bonnie's mystery quilt this year.
Love all the hst and that pink! Wow!
Have a wonderful day!; February 22, 2016 at 9:23 AM
Quilter Kathy said...: Great label for your mystery quilt Julie!
The decision of "to trim or not to trim HSTs" is always a struggle. I hate to do the trimming, but it really is worth the effort and time when you start to sew them into rows and they fit so nicely together :); February 22, 2016 at 12:23 PM
audrey said...: The very pink border is wonderful. So much fun to see your work!; February 22, 2016 at 12:51 PM

Nancy said...: Wow, you've been busy, Julie! I'm always amazed to see how quickly you put your quilts together. Wish I were as fast. I'm impressed with your little triangle blocks. I don't notice any problems with them even though you say you didn't trim them to size.
