Zelda Quilt

Quilting and binding the Zelda quilt is complete, my February goal. Having a ‘One Monthly Goal’  helps me to complete projects and to finish both old and new things on the go.


Quilted with the Entangle pantograph by Hermione Agree.




The backing is Ravel Twist Mix, which is a conglomeration of all of the prints in this collection.



I used a Ravel - 15 Piece Fat Quarter Bundle - e bond, available online from Out of Hand Quilting and Fabrics.


I will be teaching the Zelda quilt as a class at Out of Hand to learn the skill of half square triangles.  Of course you might want to take the class just to make this lovely quilt while hanging out with other quilters. I love this picture that Leslie took of me with Zelda at Out of Hand.

February's OMG

For my February One Monthly Goal (OMG) I have decided to finish the Zelda quilt, complete the top, quilt and bind it. This is a sample for a class that I will be teaching at Out of Hand Quilting and Fabric in March.  Here are a few of my blocks.


I do have all the blocks pieced, so I just need to assemble them into a quilt top and get this quilt on the long-arm machine, this should be doable.  


The fabric is Ravel by e bond for Free Spirit Fabrics.



Check out the class page at Out of Hand and join us with your creative spirit, if you are interested in becoming more competent with half-square triangles, or just love the look of this quilt. You might also want to join in the monthly finishing fun at Stories from the sewing room.


See you at the end of the month with a completed quilt.
