HEELPPP!!!!!!!

I am horrible about keeping a surprise a surprise, so here goes. The project that I am working on that I have not showed, is a gift for a friend. She is a huge Florida Gators fan so I'm making her a Gators quilt.
 Here are most of the prints and the block design.
 


  My problem is that, I am out of the grey denim fabric and everywhere I checked is out. It is needed for the backing. 
The plan was to make one big block of the designs on the top with the same background. This completely puts a hold on my plan to have the top, backing, and sandwiched done by this weekend.
 
Any advice would be appreciated, OR....... if anyone has some black denim type fabric that they would like to bless me with would be awesome as well.

Wah Lah!!!!

I busted out two new scrappy patchy quilt tops over the weekend.  Aren't they gorgeous.

Oh how I wish this were true and that I could take the credit for these beauties but I can not.  A friend of mine brought them to church and is trusting me to finish them for her. I was very honored that she asked me. 
 

The one stretched out on the floor is a twin sized


I think that this one below will finish at a full sized with maybe 2 more columns. This one needs a little fixing as you can see, but very simple. Not sure yet if I will have to take that whole row off to fix it.


I just had to point out the fact that she hand pieced both of these tops. Sorry about the quality of that picture.
(A new camera should be arriving in a few)


Not sure at all what type of quilting will be done on these.  However, with the project that I am currently working on and these 2 tops, along with the plus quilt top, there should be a lot to show you.

Oh! school has resumed, so we will see how much I get done each week.

Mini Mi

Happy New Year 
to every one.


  There hasn't been a post in a few weeks but rest assured that I've been sewing. I decided to start making some mini quilts as samples of my work and quilted wall art. Also, there is something bigger in the making. However, no viewing of that yet.  So.....here is a look at one of the projects that I just finished.

This first block was my first of the 1st mini quilts


Block's #1 & #2



All 6 blocks and the top is sandwiched.


Lastly, is the backing.  I haven't decided on the binding fabric yet.


Stay tuned for the finished work. There is also a tutorial of a twin sized version of this pattern in the works.  

Thanks for stopping buy:).
