Planes, Stripes & Automo-dots Quilt - Finished!

A quickie baby shower gift for a friend/husband's co-worker. I used a disappearing nine patch with 7" blocks, finishing at about 42" square.

All the fabrics came from my stash, so let's see what I can remember.

Hobby Lobby: brown/blue stripes, both colorful dots

IKEA: light blue with white dots

Thrift Store: dark blue with white dots

Wal-mart (10 years ago): blue stripes

Robert Kaufman's United We Stand by Dan Morris: both airplane fabrics

Binding: blue Kona (actual shade forgotten)

Quilted in the ditch and machine bound.

Finished April 1, 2011.

Work in Progress Wednesday - Week 5

In the military, there's a game called Crud, which basically involves hitting two pool balls together. If you hit the ball and it doesn't move six inches, your opposition can yell "no six!" and then you're dead. If the opposition is wrong, they're dead.

I'm not allowed to call "no six" because I can't judge the distance.

I also have no idea how big a 15x21" purse is until I make it.

So, um, yeah, I think I need to trim this down a bit. I was going for a purse, not a beach bag.

Steelers Quilt: one and a half more blocks pieced as leaders/enders. 

Layer Cake Quilt Along: pieced Block 10 (and picked apart and re-pieced), fixed Block 8, added a middle piece to Block 5, started piecing Block 6... Almost caught up! 

Planes, Stripes and Automo-dots: (new) pieced, basted and halfway quilted.

I'm stitching in the ditch because I think it looks cool on the back. 

Come Sail Away Quilt: picked out the little free motion quilting I did and took it to my long-arm quilter.

Design Wall Monday - Week 13

I'm calling it "Planes, Stripes and Automo-dots." You may groan like my husband.

 It's for a baby shower for one of his co-workers, and every bit is from my stash! Disappearing nine-patch, started with 7.5" blocks, should finish around 42" square.

On the top, the Steelers leaders/enders are moving along.

Three down, um, probably around 39 to go?
