Harvest Cabins has gone to it's new home.

When my sister Dawn was here last year she picked this Harvest Cabins quilt out. 

I told her I would get it quilted and send it back to Florida with my Dad last Fall.  It did get quilted by Jennifer McCann, but I had not completed the binding. 

Doesn't Nermal look great with this as a background?

So when she decided to visit this month to spend time with my Mom Cindy after her breast cancer surgery, I decided to get it bound so she could take it back with her.

She helped me pick out the fabric binding, it's a diagonal strip from Moda from the Gobble Gobble line by Sandy Gervais.

I like the way that a diagonal binding finishes off a quilt.

This was the first quilt on my 2012 UFO list, and the 4th item I have finished off the list so far!!

My Charm Bracelet Quilt

I have wanted to become a Moda Chef for the last year or so.  Moda looks for designs using their precut fabrics suggest as charm packs (5" pieces), jellyrolls (2.5" strips) and layer cakes (10" pieces).  So I have decided to submit this quilt design.  My design is using Sandy Gervais' Giddy.

My Charm Bracelet Quilt

This quilt is 47" x 56"

Wish me luck on getting my design accepted!!!

Moda Gobble Gobble by Sandy Gervais

Two weeks ago I visted Cottonpickers Quilt Shop, as I was looking around I realized that I have never made a Fall quilt.  You know in browns, greens, oranges, deep reds.  So when I spotted Moda's Gobble Gobble I decided it was time.  I purchase the below fabrics and came home to design my quilt using EQ7.

I added one fabric from Moda's Northwood Botanical.

Beth only had one yard of the large flower print, so I came home to find a quilt pattern.  I found Flower Patch in Cindy Casciato's Block Explosion.  I used EQ7 to audition the location of the fabrics and finally decided on the one below.  Check out my finished quilt top!
