Rail Fence and Chines Coin quilts

 The cooler weather is perfect for bindings. I finished two quilts. My Rail Fence quilt got a blue binding. I am so pleased at how the Rail Fence quilt crinkled up after the first wash. I like 100% cotton batting.

 Here is the other finished quilt, my Go Cutter Strip Chinese Coin quilt.

 I also quilted this jelly roll quilt. I have not decided how I am going to bind this quilt.

Thank you so much for stopping by and happy quilting,

Giveaway (Go cutter 1", 1,5" and 2" fabric strips)

Thank you so much for all the comments. This give away is now closed.

The winner is Muddling Through. Elaine said: "Millie, you are the sweetest. I have wondered about the go strip cutter and am glad to have your opinion. I need to make a coin quilt, that is one I haven't done yet".

I wish I could give everybody something.

 I got a new Go cutter die to play with. It is the Go Strip Cutter 1", 1,5" and 2" die.

 I like to have a two day give away. 

6 yards of Christmas/holiday fabric cut up in 1", 1,5" and 2" strips can be yours.

I had so much fun with this new Go cutter die. I took a few yellow, blue and purple pieces from my stash and cut it up in the strips. It went so fast and the strips are very accurate.

 I also cut a few 2,5" strips from the same fabric as well as white sashing strips. Do you have a Go cutter die wish list? I do and the Go Cutter 2,5" die is on the top of my wish list.

 I made a Chinese Coin quilt from my strips. Not only was the cutting fast, but the sewing too.  I love Chinese Coin quilts. I quilted the top with a flower and leave panto.

  I cut about 6 yards of Christmas, red and green fabric in strips. I love my Go cutter. I will add the strings in a pink baggie for a String quilt. If you like to enter for this giveaway, please leave me a comment on this post.

I think these strips will make a beautiful Chinese Coin, Spiderweb, Rail Fence, Roman Stripe or Bento Box quilt. The strips are also perfect for a String quilt. Thank you so much for stopping by at my blog and good luck. I will pick the winner Monday.

Happy quilting,

Millie

String and Rail Fence quilts

  How is your week going? I had lots of fun with my strings again. I quilted my blue, yellow and green string quilt. I am so happy with how it turned out. Quilting is a great stress reliever for me

 Blue and yellow scrappy backing

 I quilted my little Rail Fence quilt too. It is such a bright and happy quilt.

  I really like the blue borders. Blue is my favorite color. I am going to give this quilt to daughter number two and orange is her favorite color.

 Orange dot backing

 I pulled out this jelly roll UFO. The blocks were done, so I just had to sew the blocks together.

This is all for today and happy quilting,

Millie

Strings, Strip and Tumbler quilts

I love my strings and it gives me such pleasure to finish a String quilt. I am so pleased at how pretty this String quilt washed and crinkled up. I have a bin with leftover batting pieces and use that in my String quilts.

I like to show a few tops I quilted. This is Pat's beautiful blue and yellow String quilt.

Pieced backing

This Strip pattern is very popular. This is also Pat's quilt.

Pieced border from leftover batik strips.

Sally's batik Strip quilt.

A bird quilt from a different Sally. She made excellent use of a bird panel.

Sally's second bird quilt.

Sally's cheerful Boho quilt.

Carolyn's blue and white quilt. She used her husband's old plaid and striped shirts in the quilt.

I finished the piecing on one of my old Rail Fence UFO's.

I hate sewing borders, but I got this one done.

I worked on another UFO.

This was a kit and I knew I will never get to it.I took my Go Cutter Tumbler die and made a Tumbler quilt. The sewing went fast and I am done with the quilting.

Busy sewing on the binding from the leftover backing fabric.

I am working on a giveaway and the clue is....Go Cutter die. More details coming soon.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Smiles,

Millie
