So, remember this block? I have been wanting to finish up this quilt top for a while, but I have been forcing myself to get some quilting done instead. Well, I let myself get some piecing done today. It was so much fun.
It never fails that the wind is blowing when I want to take a few pictures of my quilts outside. I am sure the neighbors heard me complaining, well ranting and raving about the darn wind. I swear, it is always windy when I want to take some quick, fast pictures! Oh, well....I did manage to finally get a couple pictures.
The colors in this quilt are so fun, I am really happy with the brightness of the quilt. I really can't wait to quilt it, but that will go in the "sometime, a lot later" pile. My daughter has already claimed the quilt - we shall see about that!
I chose to just put outside borders on this quilt to give it some width. I was going to have just the blocks be the quilt top, but I did not like how skinny and long the quilt was by itself. I may or may not add more to the borders, but I think I like it just how it is. This quilt was seriously so much fun to put together. So, now I have to stop being distracted and get to quilting on the quilt that is on the frames, it is just gorgeous. I will be sure to post some of my progress on that one.
Okay, for those who are overly anxious for the September and October precuts that are coming out - we have some in stock (a very limited stock) - our Moda Sample Spree is going on right now! Check it out here!!

Very cute, Judi! I love the brightness of the quilt colors.
This is so cool, I love that block you made up...I forgot to tell you I saw the magazine at our Fabric Shop and saw your block in it, and was like "hey that's Judi's block"...to anyone that was listening! ;o)

I haven't been keeping up, but just read your last few posts .............. First of all, your quilting is what many of us look forward to for inspiration!!!!! Definitely not "too good". I wish we had more great quilters like yourself who shared more of their work so the rest of us could enjoy the inspiration you provide - be it on line or through purchase of a wonderful book. Don't give up. You are one of my favorite quilters - your quilts are adorable (today's is no exception) and your quilting is to die for!!!!
I love the bright colors of your quilt! great!
Beautiful! I saw the magazine and was sooo tempted to buy one! Seeing your block in a quilt like this is making me reconsider...
I almost cried when I read your post about the book and I was thinking something very crass ("screw 'em) -- I would find it hard to believe another book publisher would not JUMP at the chance to publish it -- get out there girl - never give up -- you can DO THIS -- we all need to buy your book and as Edith Ann would say "and that's that" - Terry !)
