Today I finished this quilt top made in Darla.
My husband suggested the blue gingham for the 2 borders.
I was considering a different blue print.
After I sewed them on...I loved it so much, I could have rolled around in it. LOL
That will have to wait until it's quilted ;)
In case you were wondering, I gained my inspiration from Anka's Treasures Sizzlin' Sixties pattern.
Oh, and I also finished the quilt top Steamy windows by G.E. Designs using Authentic by Moda.
I hope to deliver them to my machine quilter tomorrow.
I haven't been counting my stash very religiously yet this year. I am not sure I want to account for what I buy or use. Then when I use a bunch...I want to tell about it LOL.
I especially feel good about these 2 quilt tops because the backings alone used 10 yards out of my stash.
These were in fact, fabrics that I had purchased 4-5 years ago. They didn't seem to have a purpose until today. Once they are quilted I will get pictures of the backings.
I have a lot going on tomorrow...hoping to squeeze in some sewing for my sister's baby.
I'll show you if I make any progress.
Oh and btw...
the Progressive Dinner is well on it's way.

Just found you and I'm glad.
How did you make the triangle quilt top? Did you cut all those triangles individually? I just finished a triangle quilt top too, if you want to see: http://whereelse.ca/sunsetquilting/
Love your Darla quilt.
Loving the Darla! Makes me want to go back and work on my Darla pinwheels!
I love the quilt tops...the gingham looks great! That was a good suggestion!
First time here! Love the blog!
My favorite pre-cut is Fat Eigths because it is just enough without too many leftovers.
That book looks like it is full of inspiring ideas, I can't wait to check it out.
Love the concept of precuts. Congratulations on being published in the book
