No Longer Lost in Space

This finish has been named Deep Space after living in a quilting black hole for 8 1/2 years. I started this in 2008 when we first moved to Queensland. It kept me company and also kept my sanity. Then I started working full-time and it was pushed to the back burner. It took me a while to get back in the quilting swing. Once quilting again there were so many things I wanted to do that this quilt was not a priority. Now I can say that it has been feeling the love again, is no longer abandoned and is finished!

I hand basted this way back when and can safely say that I will, wherever possible, never do that again. Given that it sat bunched up for 8 years there is not too much puckering in the quilting.

I love the solid purple backing and white with black daisy binding. Now I try to piece my backings from all the left over pieces in each quilt so the solid was a trip down memory lane. 

Deep Space was on my Finish Along Q1 list. So also another tick that this quilt is finally finished.

A Finish Catch Up

This is a quilt I finished a while ago. I love bright colours and wanted a quick and easy quilt. I decided I would make a stack and slash quilt, that would be a quick project. Well quick and easy took about 8 years to finish but now it is done. Just look at that beautiful Brisbane sunny day in the trees at the back of the photo. 

I quilted it myself with large free form stars and asterisks.The binding is a black with white spots.

This quilt is well loved and now resides in my daughter's car.

The Triangles are on Their Way Out

I have finished my triangle quilt and am so happy with how it looks. it was made with the fabric I had left from my Pink Ribbon Raffle Quilt last year and will be going to the Children's Hospital. 

The photo of the back shows my Straight line diagonal quilting which is in a red wine colour on both the front and back of the quilt.

The quilt measures 55 x 55 inches. All fabric including the extra backing pieces came from the cupboard and many of the triangles pieces are from the Harajuku line by Greta Lynn for Kanvas. I have very few triangles leftover which are now in the over flowing scrap bag.

This is the first completed item from my Finish Along Quarter 1 list.

I am again linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it up Friday and for the first time with Busy Hands Quilts Finished or Not Friday

Happy stitching everyone!
