Chevron

My sister found this pattern and got a few of us interested in doing it at the "same" time and sharing pictures. I should have finished this in May but since we were getting ready to move then, it got packed away.

I pulled it out about 3 weeks ago and my little boy remarked how long it was taking me to sew this quilt. He told me that I needed to stop doing fun things and finish the quilt. (Little does he know that quilting is one of the fun things and so many other things that occupy my time are not fun to do.)

So only about 6 months late, here is my colorful chevron quilt. It took me a lot of time looking through my fabric stash to figure out how to make this without buying any fabric. And I pulled it off. It is a bit wild but great (especially now that it is done). 

I pieced many different colors together for the binding, so the craziness goes to the edge. Nice! My husband had the idea for the border. Poor guy gets pulled into the "thinking session" when I'm trying to figure out what color of thread and what pattern to do.

Only one more unfinished project to go! I have so many projects that I need to do that are traditional gifts (baby blankets, 1 year old gifts, etc) that are time sensitive. So I hope that I will be back here soon, blogging about the last unfinished project I have so I can get roaring on others.
