{Post #100} Buckeye Queen Finished!

I posted this on my regular blog, shelbystitcher.blogspot.com as well.  My sister doesn't know it is for her.  I am letting her think I made it for a friend.  If the truth be known, I think she's my only real friend.  We don't talk much because we're both so busy, but that's OK.  When we talk, we talk LONG!!  Love her so much!

This quilt turned out so well.  I had a bunch of scrap bindings to use up that were already sewn end-to-end, so I just used that.  Where it looks like there is binding in the pictures is where the gold fabric is, which blends into our kitchen floor.

Spend the AM making buckeyes (because of the Buckeye Queen) and M & M Pretzel Treats for holiday time.

Yea, just a little OCD here.  A row of greens then a row of reds...hahahahaha...

{Post #99} Machine Quilting Finished for Buckeye Queen

I finished the machine quilting on this tonight.  It only took a couple of hours.  I used a swirl pattern, and it moved right along.  I had a tension issue that meant some unsewing, but it was not too bad.  I love it!

I want to start the binding, but will wait until tomorrow.  Did all our laundry today and want to get it put away like a good girl.  Hee hee.

This pattern is called Buckeye Queen.  It's because the designer's sister used to make all in her family Buckeye candies for Christmas.  One never knows where a name comes from, huh?

I used navy blue quilting thread since MOST of the quilt is very dark.  One of these is in my future for myself made out of shirts.
