Hits and Misses

Quilt top #2 is done.  This is the one for the girlie girl who wants to be grown up who also happens to love the color yellow.
I saw a similar design at Bijou Lovely and knew that's what I wanted to do.  I also got the back done and now it's all pinned together ready to quilt.  I really enjoyed putting together this quilt, because I usually only use yellow as an accent color, so it was a deviation from my norm.

The Miss would be my latest Skill Builder Block: #29- The Apple Core
It actually turned out ok, but the ugh part was the making part.  It's a pain in the tookis to make this block and after pinning tons - not pinning, using starch - not using starch, I still couldn't find a rhythm with this block.  It looks better than I thought it would, but I don't see anymore of the Apple Core block in my near future.

Happy Friday!!

  1. That quilt is definitely a hit - I love it! I have an idea for something similar...but it is still only in Idea form...some day I'll actually get to start a new quilt idea rather than working on the large backlog of already designed (and given away in advance) projects on my list! And someday I'm going to make myself a purse, lunch bag, gym bag, and quilt for my bed! It's like the cobbler's kid who has no shoes! ;)
