Mini Monday: Two Projects

I quilted the AAQI mini made a few Mondays ago.  

Echo quilting
Using orange Sulky thread I quilted organic lines around the three color bars using my walking foot.  

Before the binding has been hand stitched to the back

I didn't use the facing method this time as I had this leftover Kaffe binding strip which has the perfect colors to match the solids and is just the right length.  Correction:  the binding strip is  Pretty Bird by Pillow and Maxfield

The back
 Half of a fat quarter is the perfect backing size for these Alzheimer's Art Quilts.  For this quilt I used Groove by Caleb Gray Studio for Robert Kaufman.  

NYC fabric
I made another journal cover using Stitched in Color's tutorial, this time for a friend's birthday.  The fabric was picked up at our NYC girls'  trip from City Quilter.  


 The first one seemed a bit tight, and this one seems a little loose.   Maybe the next journal cover I make will be just right!

Thanks for stopping by,

  4. Love the little aaqi quilt! You are very good keeping up on your pledge! I have to say I love your outdoorsy quilt pictures! I am afraid there aren't many days we could do so at this time of the year around here.
