Friday Finish: Gypsy Girl Quilt!

Hold on to your seats. Jennie actually has a FINISHED quilt today. Not a flimsy (well, a flimsy too), but an actual, honest-to-goodness, bone fide, quilted, bound and washed quilt.

I give you the Gypsy Girl Patchwork!


I loved this fabric the moment I saw it, and I knew it was just right for my oldest girl. She loves blue, so I backed it in a gorgeous azure minky. It's a birthday present for her, but I figured I'd better let her have it now.


I used my sister-in-law's long arm and it was just so much fun. And it goes well with the newly painted dresser. Yep. Planned that! Check it off the 4QFAL list!

And now for my flimsy finish.

My mom wanted a Halloween spider web quilt like mine, so she bought the jelly roll and purple fabric and I whipped it together this week. It's now been entrusted to the postal service and should be in her hands soon.


And now, to work on my red string quilt. Only eleventy hundred blocks to go!

Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts and Confessions of a Fabric Addict. Have a great weekend.

    Isn't the long arm so much more fun for quilting! I've started two quilts with Gypsy Girl, love the colours. Your quilts are both so cute and to already have the binding done on your daughters is impressive!

    That binding is so cute on the first quilt. Both are lovely.

    Oh, Gypsy Girl is a beauty, Jennie! Such gorgeous colours and very inspiring.

    Great spiderweb quilt! The fabrics in this are so striking and fun. Love that you used a jelly roll to make it. Don't know why I haven't thought of that! LOL

    Gorgeous finish! Love the colours and I bet your daughter loves it. She's about 10 isn't she? My daughter is 10 and she loves those bright pretty colours and fabrics. Perfect match with the dresser. Is that in her room too?
