So last night I made this!  It was a productive Friday night!

Yep, the whole quilt top.  (Well, almost the whole top.  I haven't decided yet what to do with the borders.  I can tell you that the beige carpet does not make this quilt stand out.  Someday I will master the art of taking photos of half finished quilts.)

I can verify now that I really missed my sewing machine!

The quilt is from this book -Strip Tubing by Cozy Quilts and can be found here on their website.  It's actually the same pattern as the one here on the cover.  I think I'm going to name it Lavender Fields.  The green pinwheels remind me of leaves set in a field of lavender bushes.

This is probably my favorite book for fast and easy quilts.  This time of year I need a project that doesn't require a lot of brain power and this certainly fit the bill.  This quilt was made from 20 strips out of a Bali Pop and some yardage of green and pink.

This quilt top on the right that I finished last May was also from this book.

A few week ago I picked up one of their new books, Strip Six which has patterns for six different blocks all made out of 2.5" strips.  It's amazing the quilt designs they have come up with using only six blocks.  I think this one might require a bit more brain power than I have to spare right now, so it's not going to make an appearance for another month or two in this household.  Now onto the next project!

  6. Incredible! But if I'd seen the Strip Tubing book, I would have thought "meh" because of the mess of colors. You saw through that and brought out the pinwheels to be a quilt I like! And in just one evening. You must be have a lead foot!
