FNSI

It has been a while since I have participated in the Friday Night Sew-In (FNSI.) Thanks to Wendy at Sugarlane Quilts for sponsoring! 

I have been trying to put together a 60° triangle quilt to be used as a picnic quilt (in between wedding quilts.The first finished earlier this week! Posted here.) 

My Friday Night started early and I was able to finally finish sewing the center of the quilt top. 

The plan is to make a border all around with white triangles/half triangles. So I cut out 48 full triangles and 42 half triangles from Kona white. 

I then started sewing together one of the side borders.

That's how far I got before my DH came back in town...a bit delayed but a least before the storm hit.  

Visit here to see what all the participants did on their Friday night. 

I also submitted my Scrap~yard Picnic Quilt to Quilting Gallery's Show and Tell.

 I would be honored if your voted for it! 

Go here to vote and see some wonderful scrappy quilts!

Really appreciate it!

Note: Voting continues through Monday night. Thanks for all the support!
Do you check out the wonderful quilts submitted each week to the Quilting Gallery's weekly themed contest? 

This week the theme is wall hangings and I submitted my 'A field of daisies' quilt. 

It measures 30" x 23" and hangs in my sewing room. 

I made this quilt in 2002 at a retreat to learn Landscape quilting. We were to bring a picture to inspire us. Here is my inspiration. Photo taken by my daughter for her HS photo class.

I tried to capture the field of daisies.

All the pieces were fussy cut and glued to the blue background fabric. It was FMQ with monofilament and some additional decorative threads. Click on photos to see a close up. I let the daisies spill over the frame to give it a 3D feel. I sure would really appreciate your vote. You can vote over at Quilting Gallery here from Friday through Sunday.
