WIP - Record keeping for "Quilts for Boston"

This past Saturday we had sew-in to work on the Quilts for boston. I got little bit of my binding done during the meeting/sew-in. Still a long way to go.

Also picked up 6 quilt tops, backing(cut and ready to sew) and batting to prep them. Here are the quilt tops pieced by BMQG members/volunteers.






Quilting in the longarm machine does need squaring off the sides for both quilt top and the backing. So, I pieced 4 backings and squared off 4 tops and dropped them off @Bits N Pieces Pelham, NH.
Bits N Pieces quilt shop has generously offered to quilt the quilts for us. Its so wonderful to see how our community comes together when people are in need for help and support.







4 done and 2 more to go. Also I to stitch the binding on to the quilt which I got quilted last week, you can read about it here.


Now linking up to Freshly Pieced blog by Lee.

    Those tops are beautiful! The stitching will lift them to a high level and, I'm sure, they will be much loved!

This week's design was my all time favorite. Its an easy design but people who don't FMQ think its so complicated ;). I really love the the texture on the quilt. Here are some of pictures of the Paisley FMQ on my Shades of Blue quilt: Paisley FMQ with Circles - you see on the first block I tried to mix paisley with circles Paisley FMQ Paisley FMQ The past week was really productive for me. Finally my sewing machine started behaving and the quilting went really smooth. I almost quilted away 3 blocks. Just 2 more blocks to quilt approximately. I can't wait to finish this quilt soon. I was in a flow this week with FMQ, but did have stop and work on my piecing my Groovy quilt and work on the UFO. Which is always good. Here is pic of the whole quilt, I would love to make one in girl colors ;): Shades of Blue Quilt - almost done!
