Fresh Sewing Day

Well today is kind of a special Fresh Sewing Day, as I have a quilt reveal happening over at Sew Sweetness as part of the Jaybird Quilts blog hop. So please, go check out Aurora - my version of Jaybird's Northern Lights pattern. I really did have a blast planning and creating this one. And it was one beautiful day when we took Aurora out for a photo shoot!

As far as other April sewing goes, I had the requisite bee blocks, including sample blocks for my month with the Always Bee Learning bee.
 And there were just a few smaller projects to round out the month.
I also sewed up more than my share of zips.
And I finished up another couple of quilts! There was a Disappearing 9-Patch for my mom, which was great fun to photograph in her garden . . .
AND there was my entry in the #triangleQAL. Thoroughly enjoyed every step of this one!

Last but not least, I finally got around to posting a tutorial for angled matched binding, a technique I really enjoyed using again on Aurora.

So April was one very full month! Bring it on, May!

Linking up with Fresh Sewing Day at Lily's Quilts!

  6. Oh my, my my! Just hopped over and read all about Aurora. Love her name, and she is a stunner, for sure. And I agree, that angled binding is an absolutely perfect finish.

  10. Aurora is stunning!
    I think I might need to make one of these, now that I already own the ruler! So how tricky was it to match up all of those zig zags?
