Progress on Zack's Quilt!


Working away at this...at my own pace..which is a Sunday Driving kind of pace..lol

This block is the Sashed 4-Patch

I now have all 10 of each block done, 20 blocks in all.
I have started piecing them together with the black sashing...

here is a pic with the sashing going down the length...I have since taken it off, not all the posts are matching up. This makes me want to scream and throw a tantrum...but I don't do tantrums. I just set it down for a few days...forgive it and move on again....
so today, I will try to figure out where I went wrong.. ugh.

My Mom and I went on a little shopping spree yesterday! Joanne's!
The first two fabrics, I am thinking about putting into a quilt for my younger sister. The middle three fall fabrics, I will be making into place mats. My mother also got the orange fabric with different coordinating fabrics and we will be making them together here at my house next Thursday..fun! The last two are fleece. I am going to make a tied blanket for my 3 yr old grandson, Wyatt. He loves dinosaurs! I also got a new ruler, pins, thread and ribbon. All in all...I did great! Total: $137.81. I had a $30.00 gift card from Christmas and coupons which saved me 35.78. I ended up paying $72.00 for everything. The real treasure was spending the day with my Mom. 

okay..I am outta here!

Zack's Quilt

I started quilting in January 2015. I have made one quilt for myself. One for my father, one for my grandson, one for my sister, I have one I am working on for my cousin who helps me out all the time...and today, I have started one for my oldest son, Zack. Before I can get back to doing for myself..I have to make one for my younger sister, my younger son and my other grandson. And that's it! After that, it is going to be all about me for a while! :)

here is the pattern I created for Zack's Quilt:

Here are my fabric selections:

Those stars glow in the dark by the way and this gives me the giggles, I can picture him bringing a girl into his room (he has an apartment), turning out the lights and his bed starts to glow...haha...

I cut out fabric for the King's Crown block today:

And here is all my fabric, cut and ready to start sewing on...tomorrow.



I will keep you updated with my progress! Thanks for stopping in!
