What I've been sewing in June

Amanda Jean at Crazymomquilts is taking the summer off from blogging.
I don't blame her. Time with kids is fleeting.
But my motivation for blogging has been to get something finished to link up with her.
Don't know who will see this post but I do want to record my quilting journey even if nobody else reads this.

First is a partial finish. The pink and gray lap quilt is a flimsy.
I plan to finish it before our next Jackson Quilters meeting.


I finished the Churn Dash quilt I started at MQA in a Bonnie Hunter class.
It is smaller than the directions but it is the size I wanted.
I'm calling it Memories of Summer Gardens.
It will got to a sweet friend who lost her father this past year.


The churn dash blocks and hourglass blocks came from fabric I had in my scraps and stash.


I used some of the extra blocks on the back.


In my haste to finish I had three rows with the wrong turns on the hourglass blocks.


So, I took out those rows and turned the blocks.
A learning experience.



The two photos below were part of my decision making process on the border order.



Another view.


Oops! Do you see the mistake? How did that happen?



Ripping out those seams was a pain.



Here is Bonnie at the quilt show. We loved her.


How is your sewing journey? 
Going to visit baby Ava and make some dresses for her.
Can't wait!
