quilting

For my birthday last month my mom got me this beautiful bundle of Anna Maria Horner's Folk Song.  After a quick Pinterest search I found a free pattern I thought would be fun and cut right into the fabric.  The top came together quickly and now it is just sitting waiting for me to quilt and bind it.... which for me usually gets put off for quite some time :)

I also got a bundle of Roots and Wings to make this quilt.  My triangles are all cut out and ready to be sewn but life has been full of other things recently and I have not had time to sew any more than this... just 2 more weeks of CC for most of us - then one BIG project (I will be sharing about this soon) before I can get back to my quilts :)

I also made this fun fabric map of the US.  You can find the map pattern here if your interested in making your own.  I traced the map backward onto heat bond, cut out the pieces, ironed them on to the back of fabric scraps then trimmed the excess fabric.  I lightly traced the map onto my background fabric with pencil to help with placement and then ironed on my fabric states. 

Now I just need to frame my map and hang it on the wall with this piece that I finally framed last week!
