Triple Star Mini Quilt

I thought it might be fun to give you a sneak peek at my next pattern, which is based on the quilt I designed for my husband and blogged about at the end of September.  I have always loved this star design that I started working on 3 years ago and it is finally going to be a mini quilt pattern!

I thought Triple Star was an appropriate name for this quilt. What do you think?

Next I have to find a backing for this baby and quilt her up. I’m torn between machine and hand quilting.  Which would you want if I was sending this quilt to you? Oh and I also have to write the pattern!

This is also my October goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes, you have until tomorrow night to link up your goal for the month!

A Lovely Year of Finishes – October Goal Party

ALYoF2014Is anyone else in shock that it is already October? I know Shanna and I are in denial about this fact.  Being that it is October and I have some deadlines looming, it is time to get on with some upcoming deadlines. On the upside, this also means back to pattern designing, I’ve taken the last month or so off. I need to get this done! I have the design drawn out, the fabrics purchased, I need to do the math and get sewing and photographing. 

What is the one goal you will have this month?

You have two requirements to be entered into the prizes this month.

A Lovely Year of Finishes – September Finishes Party

ALYoF2014Woohoo! This is my first successful A Lovely Year of Finishes month since June! I have had other finishes, just not ones that I set goals for.  I’m very happy to report that I have finished the top for my hubby’s quilt. It only took two years! I even bought the back fabric on Monday (check it out here).

An absolute miracle happened today, I finished two quilt tops!!! This one is for my hubby. #alyof #quiltingmiracleThe quilt just turned out so beautifully and there are so many wonderful friends to be thanked for helping me get this baby finished, you know who you are and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me to make this gorgeous top. There is a quilting plan, but you will have to wait and see…

Now how about you? Was it a successful month? I sure hope so!
